About us
Egypt's dedicated day tours hub
We focus only on day tours, day trips and excursions across Egypt. No multi-day packages. No hotel bookings. Just the day itself, done clearly.
What we do differently
Every tour shows the whole day, stop by stop, on a timeline and a map, with the drive to each stop and approximate times.
Pickup, walking, shopping stops and anything not included are written out before you book. Domestic flights are never hidden in a price: on the days by plane they are not included.
Your own car and guide, just your group. Where the activity itself is shared, such as a balloon flight or a dinner cruise, the tour page says so.
Where our day tours start

- Cairo & Gizathe pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis, the museums, old Cairo and the Nile

How we check our information
- Every number has a source. Opening hours, ticket prices and temperatures come from Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the museums' own websites, UNESCO and the World Meteorological Organization; drive times and stops come from our own tour programs.
- Each fact is dated. We keep every fact with its source and the date we checked it, and each guide shows when it was last checked and lists its sources.
- Nothing goes up unchecked. Before a guide or a place page is published, a check stops any number that no source carries.
- No reviews we can't show you. We don't publish ratings or quotes from travelers unless you can see where they come from.
- Tell us if something changed. Hours and ticket prices in Egypt change. If you spot something out of date, message us on WhatsApp or email info@egyptdaytours.net, and we correct the page and its date.
