Day Trips from Marsa Alam to Hurghada

Just because you are in Hurghada doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the ancient highlights of Cairo. This bus tour whisks you away from the resort town to the Egyptian capital for a day of sightseeing. See the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and thousands of artifacts at the Egyptian Museum (all entrance fees extra). A delicious local lunch is also included.

Luxor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's oldest inhabited cities. Instead of traveling on hot and stuffy public transport, this worry-free day trip allows you to travel with ease from Hurghada to Luxor in a private vehicle. Once in the magnificent open-air museum of Luxor, explore the East and West Bank with a private Egyptologist guide to provide commentary. Along the way, see Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut Temple.

Venture away from the Red Sea and take a day trip from Hurghada to Cairo to see the best the city has to offer. Enjoy a tour around the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx and tick these ancient wonders off your bucket list before tucking into a delicious meal. Then tour the Egyptian Museum, home to thousands of antiquities, and shop at a local bazaar before heading back to Hurghada.

Known for sea turtles and dugong “sea cows”, Abu Dabbab Beach is one of the top snorkeling spots around Marsa Alam—but it’s impossible to reach by public transport unless you speak Arabic. This tour makes snorkeling easy: access is from the white sand beach, all gear is provided, and your guide will be happy to show children and new snorkelers the basics. Please note that park entrance fees are at your own expense.
