Egypt Tours from Diyarbakır

Tours to Egypt from Diyarbakır consist of three different programs, with flights from Diyarbakır Airport on a special Freebird flight: a short Cairo–Sharm El Sheikh tour, a classic 4-night program and the 6-night Egypt Triangle, which also includes Hurghada. The programs are listed below.

Differences Between the Three Itineraries

The 3-night itinerary flies to Sharm El Sheikh at 01:00 at night and keeps the time in Cairo brief; it is for those with limited time. The 4-night itinerary departs at 09:00 in the morning, lands at Sphinx Airport near Giza, and starts in Cairo. The 6-night Egypt Triangle itinerary spends two nights each in Sharm El Sheikh, Cairo, and Hurghada; it is designed for those who want to see both of the Red Sea’s distinct coastlines and Cairo in one trip.

Egypt Triangle Itinerary

The flight departing Diyarbakır at 21:30 lands in Sharm El Sheikh at 22:00 Egypt time. Accommodation is All Inclusive in Sharm El Sheikh, Bed & Breakfast in Cairo, and All Inclusive again in Hurghada; travel between cities takes approximately 7 hours by road each time. The return flight departs Hurghada at 07:45 and lands in Diyarbakır at 09:00. The price starts at around 1.448 euros per person.

Meeting Point and Airport

For all programs, the meeting point is in front of the Freebird counter at the International Departures Terminal of Diyarbakır Airport, three hours before the flight. For overnight departures, the meeting takes place in the evening of the previous day; the first-day details on the tour page give the exact time.

Dates and Prices

Available departures are in November 2026, January 2027, and March 2027. The 3- and 4-night itineraries cost 1,030–1,050 euros per person. The price includes airfare, airport taxes, accommodation in the specified board plan, and airport and intercity transfers; optional excursions and visa fees are excluded.

Visa and Time Difference

Since the itineraries include Cairo, a full Egyptian tourist visa is required; passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the return date. In winter, Egypt is one hour behind Türkiye; arrival times shown on the tours are local Egyptian times.

Which Itinerary Should You Choose?

For first-time visitors to Egypt, a 4-night program offers a good balance: you get a full day in Cairo for the pyramids and a few days by the sea in Sharm El Sheikh. Those short on time can choose the 3-night program, while those who want to see both coasts of the Red Sea can opt for the 6-night Egypt Triangle. In all three programs, optional excursions in Cairo are available at an additional cost; prices are listed on the tour page.

Things to See in Cairo and the Red Sea

Classic stops in Cairo include the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, the Citadel of Saladin, and Khan el-Khalili bazaar. In Sharm El Sheikh, Ras Mohammed National Park and Naama Bay are highlights; in Hurghada, a boat trip to the Giftun Islands is popular. The Red Sea coast is warm enough for swimming even in winter.

Practical Information

Egypt's local currency is the Egyptian pound; US dollars and euros are widely accepted in tourist areas, and tipping is common. Tap water is not safe to drink. Comfortable shoes and sun protection are essential for a Cairo tour.
