"We did the 2-day Cairo tour from Hurghada. Best decision! The Grand Egyptian Museum was mind-blowing — Tutankhamun's treasures are incredible. The hotel they booked was lovely too."

"Third time booking with Marvelous Egypt! This time we took the bus option from Hurghada — great value for money. Yes it's a long drive but the Pyramids are worth every minute!"

Are Cairo tours suitable for children?
