Hurghada Mini Egypt Park: Day Trip to 55 Landmarks & Pickup

Summary

See pyramids, temples & Alexandria’s library in one afternoon at Makadi Bay’s quirky Mini Egypt Park

You’ll wander through Makadi Bay’s Mini Egypt Park with a local guide, seeing 55 famous Egyptian landmarks—like the Sphinx, Alexandria Library, and Abu Simbel—in miniature form. Includes hotel pickup and live commentary. Expect quirky moments, unexpected laughs, and a playful way to experience Egypt’s history all in one walk.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the sound of kids’ sneakers squeaking on the pavement — not what I expected as we walked past a tiny Sphinx under that bright Hurghada sun. Our guide, Ahmed, waved us over to the mini Cairo Tower (he joked it was the only time he’d ever be taller than it). The whole place smells faintly of fresh paint and dust, like someone just finished building a giant model train set, but with pyramids and temples instead of toy houses.

I didn’t realize how many Egyptian landmarks I’d never actually seen until they were all right there — Alexandria’s Library next to Abu Simbel, the High Dam almost close enough to touch. Ahmed told stories about each spot; sometimes he’d pause so we could take silly photos pretending to hold up the Pyramids of Giza or lean on the Maspero TV Building. The scale is 1:25, but honestly, it feels even smaller when you’re standing between Luxor’s temples and Tahrir Square in just a few steps. There was this moment where I caught a whiff of sunscreen and grass, and for a second it felt like being on a school field trip again — you know that feeling?

We had hotel pickup in an air-conditioned van (thank god for that), and Ahmed made sure everyone was comfortable — even helped an older couple with their wheelchair near the Castle of Mohamed Ali Pasha. It’s not every day you see families from all over laughing together while “touring” Aswan and Luxor before lunch. I still think about that little model Nile winding through everything, blue paint chipped here and there. It’s not perfect but somehow that makes it more fun.
