Overview
Hurghada to Cairo is around an hour by air, which makes the pyramids a realistic day trip rather than a separate leg of your holiday. You fly out on the first morning departure and are met airside in Cairo by your guide and driver, so there is no queuing or arranging transport on arrival. The day covers the Giza plateau with the three pyramids and the Sphinx, a stop at the panoramic viewpoint, lunch, and the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum depending on the day and your preference. You fly back the same evening. Flights, transfers, entrance tickets and the guide are arranged as one booking so nothing is left to sort out on the day. The road alternative takes around six hours each way and is only advisable with an overnight.
