Egypt Fun Tours offers the best transit tour in Cairo, designed specifically for travelers with layovers.We provide an unforgettable experience. We take you to world-famous sites. These include the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. You can also explore the vibrant old city. It is the historical heart of Cairo.

The Best Transit Tour: Plan Your Layover Adventure

Transit tours in Cairo

A Cairo transit tour requires a minimum of 5 hours to be truly worthwhile. This allows you to visit at least one major destination. Depending on your time, you could explore the bustling and famous Khan El-Khalili market or the modern energy of Downtown Cairo. For a more comprehensive experience that includes the Pyramids, Khan El-Khalili, and the Cairo National Museum, you should plan for a layover of 8 to 10 hours.

Important Times and Flexibility

Keep in mind that tourist sites have specific operating hours. In the winter, most attractions close at 4:00 PM, while in the summer, they close at 5:00 PM. However, the Cairo Museum is an exception, remaining open until 6:30 PM all year. If your layover starts in the afternoon, you can still visit the museum and the market, which stays open until midnight.

Our professional and experienced guides manage your time meticulously. It would be a shame to visit Cairo without seeing the Pyramids or the Cairo Museum. Our team ensures that you are returned to the airport with plenty of time to spare for your departure flight.

Late Afternoon and Evening Options

If your layover is too short or too late for a full tour of the Pyramids, we have a special alternative. We will take you to a fantastic viewpoint where you can see the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx together, creating a memorable photo opportunity. After this, we will give you a quick city tour of Cairo before we safely return you to the airport.
