Sharm to Cairo: 3 Full Private Sightseeing Days + Road Travel
A relaxed three-day Cairo sightseeing programme with separate travel days from Sharm and four hotel nights in Cairo.
About this private journey
Explore Cairo over three full sightseeing days, with the Sharm road journeys placed on separate arrival and departure days. The complete reference itinerary therefore lasts five days and uses four hotel nights, leaving room for Giza and GEM, Saqqara and Memphis, and Cairo's cultural landmarks.
Your guide can balance the visits around actual museum slots, traffic and the group's pace. The appropriate Egypt visa, road coordination and hotel arrangements are checked before the journey is accepted. Long transfer days are kept distinct from the promised sightseeing days so the programme does not quietly lose a museum visit to the road.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a three-day Cairo programme take five days?
The three sightseeing days are between two separate Sharm road-transfer days. Four Cairo hotel nights are therefore part of the reference plan.
Does this replace visa and road checks?
No. The traveller's Egypt entry permission and current road requirements must still be checked before confirming the dates.
What makes the booking binding?
Your dated written quotation confirms the route, admissions, transport, accommodation where applicable, cancellation terms and total before payment. Unconfirmed supplier availability is not a reservation.
