On the Hurghada-first variants the order is reversed: the six Hurghada nights come first, and on day 7 you leave at about 02:00 for the roughly 7-hour drive to Cairo for the pyramids, lunch and the Egyptian Museum, staying at a 4* hotel and flying home from Cairo on day 8. On every variant, passports need six months' validity beyond the date you leave Egypt.
