Private day trip to Cairo from Hurghada

This tour operator has been one of my most beautiful experiences so far. It was simply breathtaking and an experience that I will definitely not forget. Our guide conducted the tour with great passion, attention to detail, and dedication – this was always palpable. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and had interesting stories and background information ready for each sight. This allowed one to truly immerse themselves in the past and experience history up close. I particularly appreciated that unnecessary tourist stops and long waiting times were avoided. I would rather pay a few euros more and enjoy a relaxed vacation without stress. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour operator and thank them for this unforgettable experience.

Super beautiful tour. The ride was hassle-free and the very competent tour guide was excellent. Thank you for that.

It was simply perfect. Starting with our driver Hilal, who was extremely friendly, engaging, and pleasant. He even treated our children to dinner. Our Egyptologist Markus was simply amazing. He spoke perfect German and left no question unanswered. We had a wonderful day with nothing to complain about.

The trip with Zakhairous was great. We (my son, who is 10 years old, and I) were picked up on time at 2 PM at the hotel and drove to Cairo. The two drivers were very nice, especially to my son. They fully included him in the trip. We were able to sleep for a few more hours quite well. During the drive, we were well informed about the area. In Cairo, we picked up our guide Markus (an Egyptian). He spoke perfect German and guided us according to our wishes around the Giza Plateau and the new museum. He was able to answer all questions perfectly and provided us with a lot of background knowledge. The lunch was good. And the return trip was even shorter but still very entertaining. We can only recommend Zakahairous. I simply booked via WhatsApp.

This provider was recommended to me by claude.ai because he has good reviews and offers individual excursions where the customer is king. The coordination and planning took place via WhatsApp. The reactions and activities were always very quick and competent in German at all times. The flight tickets were sent as a PDF a few days in advance. The pickup at the hotel was punctual and the drive to Hurghada Airport was quick. The domestic flight to Cairo was on time. In Cairo, we were picked up by Markus, our German-speaking guide, outside the airport building. The driver Achmed was waiting not far from the exit with the car. During the drive to the center, we finalized the details of the excursion, including which sights we would visit when and how much time would be allocated for each. We saw the old town, briefly the bazaar, the pyramids, the valley temple, and the Sphinx. The lunch at the restaurant was good and plentiful. They catered to our individual wishes. Markus took care of everything. After the meal, we went to the New Egyptian Museum where we spent nearly three hours before being taken to the airport on time. In Hurghada, the driver was waiting to take us to the hotel. The excursion lasted from 5:30 AM to 11:00 PM. Although we were tired, this program is highly recommended because it allows you to see the maximum number of sights in a short time without exhausting yourself too much. We had 42 degrees in the shade in Cairo that day. It was still not a problem for us. Markus is a brilliant guide. He pointed out both the major and the very small sights and followed a narrative during our stay at all locations, usually showing the best at the end. Markus also pointed out special things at other locations that he referred back to later. This made our time together very enjoyable, and we laughed a lot. While driving from place to place, we saw a lot of Cairo and crossed the Nile twice. I cannot recommend that people from Germany without Arabic knowledge and local knowledge undertake such a tour on their own. It may cost less, but it is impossible to learn so much about Egypt and Cairo in such a short time. That indeed takes more time, which in turn incurs more costs. Therefore, this excursion is my clear recommendation. We would book this again at any time.

This was already our third tour with Zakharious Tours... and once again, everything was perfectly organized. This time we took the trip to Cairo with a city tour, bazaar, and the pyramids, and for us, a dream truly came true. From the pickup to the return, everything worked excellently. We would especially like to highlight our guide Markus, who accompanied us throughout the day with much knowledge, humor, and warmth. Our driver Ahmed was also super friendly and drove us safely at all times. Despite technical problems with the airplane and a resulting delay of about two hours on the return trip, the transfer was organized absolutely professionally – we did not have to worry about anything. This clearly shows how reliable and customer-oriented Zakharious Tours operates. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience. We would book with Zakharious Tours again at any time and can wholeheartedly recommend the team!

A phenomenal experience thanks to Zakharious Tours ❤️. Booking uncomplicated and extremely friendly and helpful 👍. We were picked up on time by Achmed in Soma Bay and safely transferred to Hurghada at the airport (5⭐). In Cairo our guide Markus picked us up from the airport and we drove with Achmed to the pyramids. Achmed drove us safely through Cairo traffic (5⭐). We couldn't have asked for a better guide like Markus. He explained everything to us great, speaks perfect German and also had a few casual sayings on his lips 👍. Private day tour was perfect for us so we could divide the time ourselves. We can only recommend the tour and would do it the same way again (❤️❤️❤️).

We booked and enjoyed a day trip from Hurghada to Cairo by plane with Zakharious-Tours. From the whole organization, where we were supervised all day, from hotel pickup, sightseeing tour in Cairo and ultimately the return transport to the hotel, everything worked out excellently. The organization of the office was fast and efficient and very helpful. All questions in German were answered within half an hour. Greetings and our special thanks to our guide “Mohamed”, who spoke excellent German and made the sightseeing day in Cairo, from the Old Town to the Pyramids/Sphinx and the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) with its many interesting stories, a particularly beautiful experience for us. We can recommend Zakharious-Tours 100%, we were very satisfied. Robert and Eveline from Vienna

Everything according to our wishes we decided what we want to see the guide gave info and help. The driver was good too. Greetings to Mark and Achmet.

Very reliable and reputable. The tour was very professional and all my questions were answered. The guidebook Markus seemed like a true connoisseur of Egyptian culture and history. Transport was reliable and equipped with modern vehicles. Since we booked a private tour, all our wishes were taken into account. We were able to determine for ourselves which points of our excursion took place at what time and skip certain points. Lunch was in a nice place and tasted great. Drinks were not included but had fair prices. I can recommend this excursion, guide and tour operator without restriction!
