1 Day Excursion to Cairo or 2 Days?

Were often asked by our customers if they should take the 1 day or 2 day Cairo excursion.

1 Day Cairo Excursion

In short the 1 day Cairo excursion will show you the most well known, and most interesting parts of the city such as the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Cairo Museum.

For most people this is that they have learnt about back in school, seen on TV and read about in books, and it's what people think about when they think of Cairo.

2 Day Cairo Excursion

The 2 day Cairo excursion gives more of an insight into Egyptian life. We explore the City of Cairo in more detail and take you around the bustling Bazaars and markets. You'll see the spectacular mosques and architecture of Cairo and stop off for tea and coffee in the Cairo restaurants and cafes.

It's not as busy as the first day, but we think just as interesting as it gives you a real insight into Cairo life and shows you the parts of Cairo tourists often don't see.

We have made sure that you could go home after the 1 day excursion to Cairo and feel like you have finally seen in first person all the sights of Cairo you've grown up seeing and learning about. If you're interested in Egyptian culture, history, architecture, or just want to discover more about Cairo then the 2 day excursion is for you.

Cairo by Bus or by Plane?

We offer 2 ways of getting from Sharm to Cairo, by bus and by plane. To be honest the deciding factor for most people is cost, however there are advantages to both trips.

Cairo Excursion by Bus

This trips is substantially cheaper than flying to Cairo, but as you can imagine it is a long way from Sharm to Cairo and this is why many people prefer to fly. Although the majority of the way to Cairo will be in the dark it's often said that the views of the Suez canal amongst other things actually made it worth not flying.

The coach has a toilet and refreshments can be purchased on board, we also make sure you get lots of breaks to stretch your legs, which gives you the opportunity to stop at different places you wouldn’t if you flew.

Cairo Excursion by Plane

Our most popular excursion and the one we are famous for! Although flying to Cairo costs more than taking the coach, people often feel it's worth spending the extra money on a once-in-a-lifetime day. You will get more time to look around Cairo and spend less time travelling.

We get better feedback from Cairo by Plane excursions so we recommend this to our customers, don't take our word for it though, read reviews at the bottom of excursion pages to see what our customers thought.
