Cairo works well as a base for single-day trips. This category covers eight private day tours run with a licensed Egyptologist and private air-conditioned transport: the Giza pyramids and Sphinx paired with the Egyptian Museum, the older step pyramid complex at Sakkara with Memphis and Dahshur, Coptic and Islamic Cairo with the Citadel and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, a full day at El Fayoum for Wadi El Rayan and Whale Valley, and an evening Nile dinner cruise. Day trips to Cairo from Hurghada and the Red Sea resorts are included here too, as single-day or overnight options.
