Immersion in the heart of Pharaonic history - Amazing day. By reporting this excursion to the hotel, we were able to have a packed breakfast. From Hurghada, the journey there is very long, and it is nice to be able to count on breaks. When we arrived in Cairo, we joined our guide, who spoke French very well. We visited the museum, took a short cruise on the Nile, visited the pyramids (with the possibility of a horse-drawn carriage or camel ride), saw the Sphinx and, in addition, witnessed the making of papyrus (the real papyrus) . We also visited a perfumery. In the end, it was a day where we learned a lot and were amazed. Plan to return to the hotel around 11 p.m.; It is recommended to notify the hotel to be sure of being able to eat when you return.

not quite reality - the proposed schedule does not correspond to reality we did not spend 3 hours at the museum and not 3 hours at the pyramids on the other hand we paid for a cruise on the Nile among skyscrapers and we went to a papyrus store. although this was not marked on the site. We left at 1:00 a.m. and returned 24 hours later. so the schedules don't match either. On the visit side, however, the sites are magnificent and we took some superb photos.

5 * for staff - Please he prepared for hidden or extra charges. I would carry extra money, whilst going on this excursion. I would definitely say 5 stars in regards to communication and also staff were friendly and kind. If you are travelling from Hurghada it is a long trip.

ok - The tour could have been much better , if the trip to perfume shop and painting shop could have been avoided. The guide always ask you for unnecessary things as he the tour company has a commission cut there. The guide hardly provide any useful information regarding mummies and pyramids , only doing marketing for stuff which is not required.
