An Egypt tour in 2 days is a high-energy “sprint” through history. This duration is perfect for business travelers on a layover or weekend visitors from Europe and the GCC. The two-day format became very popular. It focuses on the most iconic monuments in and around Cairo. At Egypt Fun Tours, we maximize every hour. We use private transportation to bypass the crowds. This ensures you see the best of the Pharaohs, even with a limited schedule, in all our 2-day Egypt Tours.

You might think 48 hours is too short. However, a well-planned itinerary can cover the “must-see” sites.
First, you can focus entirely on Cairo and Giza. This eliminates long travel times to the south. Second, you can stay in a hotel overlooking the Pyramids. This allows you to enjoy the view even during your rest time. Finally, you can visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). It is located right next to the Giza Plateau for maximum efficiency.
Your first day focuses on the most famous structures on Earth.
Your second day explores the heart of the capital and its golden treasures.
Yes. You can see the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara comfortably in one day.
It is possible, but very tiring. You would need to take a domestic flight. We recommend staying in Cairo for a 2-day trip to avoid travel fatigue.
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Even in two days, you will walk a lot. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the Cairo sun.

I’ve been dreaming of going to Egypt since I was 7 years old. At 37, I finally made it. Even with the warnings that it’s not safe for Americans. Thankfully, Egypt Fun Tours quickly put any worry aside. Hamada, the owner, was recommended by a friend. He was our personal
We went on a full-day trip to Wadi el Hitan and Wadi el Rayan with Mohamed (Hamada). Mohamed was a wonderful guide, always making sure we had plenty of water and enough to eat, and providing us with information about the area and Egypt more generally. He also gave us
We visited Cairo over a 15-hour layover. Egypt Fun Tours organized a customized and wonderful experience for us. We could not be happier. The day included a visit to all the great sites, the marketplace, dinner, a boat ride on the Nile, and a host of other special requests. I
I am tempted to say “my friend Hani” runs an amazing service, because that is how he makes you feel. I first went on the 9-hour layover tour in summer 2011. Hani and driver picked me up at the airport at 3am, and by the time I left at noon
Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard
I had an 11 hour layover in Cairo. I wrote to them based on recent reviews for them on this site. After a few email exchanges with Hati, who I think is one of the owners, I was ready to get there. I was greeted by Hatem, a very good

I found this company (thanks Trip Advisor!) very last minute and was so happy to read the great reviews. Reaching out to this company was a no-brainer, despite the fact that I’d done so a few hours before my flight to Egypt. Even better was that Hamada responded via WhatsApp

We believed that 6 days would not be enough time to see everything. It felt like we did a 12-day tour in just 6 days. Hamada did a fantastic job of showing us around his stunning country. Highly recommended.
Trip of a lifetime!! COVID SAFE!! Knowledgeable guide who loves to share the magic of Egypt with tourists. Friendly and accommodating. This company goes to the extreme to make clients feel welcome and help them. A family company that takes good care of its support staff. Must book the 7-night
Great trip organised. I had a 12-hour layover in Cairo and had a great time with Sherif, who answered every question I had on ancient Egypt. Highly recommend.
