FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE - The trip in total lasted more than 24 hours, but it is absolutely worth it. Our guide Said, with perfect Italian, immersed us in Egyptian history, telling us many details. Then what about, the museum, the pyramids and the sphinxes leave you speechless.

Tour - I liked the sight of the pyramids and it was fun to ride a camel near the pyramids for 300egp for 15min and the get pictures taken by the guy leading the camel but the guy wanted a tip for taking the photos. For me there were to many stops and one of the stops was like an hour long after the hotel pick up I didnt get what were we waiting for. I get the ride is long but some stops seemned unnecessary or too long. Museum visit was fascinating and the Nile boat ride for extra cost 600egp was nice. The lunch included was delicious. I didnt get why after the tour i had to pay extra 200egp for tickets when i booked a tour with entrance fees. Probably just asked an extra tip and there was no extra ticket fee.

Amazing day but be prepared for the journey! - Overall, our trip to Cairo was magnificent. As someone into my history, this was truly a magical day! Seeing the pyramids and the artefacts museum was incredible. We chose the bus trip option as to save a bit of money but if you can afford the plane trip I would highly recommend it. Here’s why… The day itself was very long (25+ hours). We were picked up at 22.45 (Sunday) by a minibus. Spent 2 hours driving around Sharm picking up other people. This was inefficient and unorganised. Then transferred to a coach which was 90% Russian speaking (there was us as the only English speaking couple + an Italian family). This was quite stressful as we had minimal English communication during the first 3-4 hours of the journey! Once in Cairo (about 8am), we had a very friendly and knowledgable English speaking guide who really made the day top quality. We got back to the hotel at 1am on Tuesday. Overall a great trip but with some flaws!

A little bit hellish - The bus ride was an absolute nightmare. I knew this trip was not going to work out when they’d never dealt with an E-visa before. However the bus conductors were thee absolute worst, towards the end I warmed up to them cse there wasn’t anything else I could have done. How they are is their culture. They were smoking on the bus, rude, it was a pure nightmare. Skip the museum if you can. The Nile trip was great, pyramids were okay. However overall experience was painful. I could have cried at certain points.
