TL;DR
Recommended options include a quad-bike or buggy desert safari with a private guide and a motor-yacht excursion. A pyramids trip involves a very long transfer—around 400 km each way.
Diving is suggested as an alternative excursion. Island trips are viewed critically in the feedback, as they may not feel worth the cost, particularly when low tide affects the experience.
For an active outing, choose a quad-bike or buggy desert safari. The recommendation is to book a private guide for a more personalised experience.
A motor-yacht trip is suggested as a strong excursion option from Hurghada. It suits travellers who would rather spend the day on the water than on a long road journey.
Plan a pyramids excursion only if you are comfortable with the distance: the discussion estimates roughly 400 km each way. It is an option for travellers prepared for a very long day of travel.
