Due to the convoy, the journey from Hurghada to Cairo (one way) may take between 6 and 8 hours, as all buses and cars must travel with a police escort for safety reasons.

Wonderful experience of Cairo - The trip was very well organized and everything in time. We had reliable and safe drivers. The car was modern.
The very best of our trip was our excellent tour guide in Cairo. His name is Dr. Mamdouh Osman. He is an expert and professor for Egyptian excavations. He knows everyone and brings you to secret places aside from the tourist crowds. He even gave us little presents. It was a different tourist experience with him. In a short time you get a deep insight of Egyptian culture and history. Ask for his name to get him as your guide. I'm from Germany and made this trip with my family....all very happy.

Wonderful 😍 𓀀 - The trip was really nice they picked us up at 1:30 A.M. the trip in total was a bit long about 22h but it was really worth it. They give you a bottle of water on the mini bus lunch is included, but you pay for the water separately. He sees all the pyramids and pushes it, but to get into them you have to pay a separate ticket. The guide, however, advised us not to enter because anyway everything inside showed in the museum that the first thing you go to see.
It was better to tour with a small group, because you queue less.
The guide was really great spoke very well in Italian and explained everything.

Day in Cairo - The trip to Cairo was extraordinary. Get ready because the journey is a bit long (departure 1:30 for us, arrival in Cairo at 9 am / / return departure from Cairo at 5 pm arrival at the hotel at 10:40 pm) but it is definitely worth it. We were picked up in a minivan and we were 6 travelers to participate in the excursion. The guide, PR Ismail spoke French and English and knows the history of Egypt at his fingertips, making the museum tour rich in learning. The meal is served in a restaurant with rooftop and views of the pyramids. In the afternoon we were able to enjoy the site of Giza with explanation then walk independently. Nothing to say, incredible day.

Amazing experience - I had an amazing experience thanks to Dr. Ismail Hamed. His guidance throughout the entire journey was incredibly professional and insightful. It was truly a pleasure to have someone so knowledgeable and passionate, who took the time to explain every little detail about the artifacts in the museum, bringing history to life in a way that made it so much more engaging. When we visited the pyramids, his expertise and clear explanations made the experience unforgettable. He answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm, making sure we fully appreciated the significance of what we were seeing. I felt like I not only learned so much but also gained a deeper connection to the history and culture. I would highly recommend Dr. Hamed to anyone looking for an exceptional guide who makes every moment of the trip worthwhile!

Our journey from Hurghada to kairo - First of all, the organizer is not to be held responsible that the bus ride is bumpy this the organizer cannot change.
We were picked up by car from the tiba resort and driven to the bus. Once there we were warmly welcomed and the journey started. 6h and 2 breaks a 20min later kairo we are there Hello mister tour guide we were handed over to our tour guide and off we went the adventure with Achmed excellent personality funny informative and eager to entertain us to any question direct answer and more info about the events super explanations and pictorial representations for best understanding. Buffet and more were headed all left more next to places like (Papyrus workshop-restaurant-oil farmerie ) with satisfied faces and fed up . Pyramids We also come here we were surprised by Achmed who immediately started to take great pictures of all participants in different poses in front of the pyramids which have all become really great . And further went the journey with carriage horse and camel small round trip gladly and hop we were at a great view and more poses pictures taken by the carriage/camel guide (here care you want no must tip for this and also that not a little) but nevertheless despite them know how to put his guests in pose and have taken hammer pictures. And on to the small grab chamber (not recommended by me for free but very steep and only about 90cm run height that means head down and duck -unfortunately this is so well attended that 1.waiting is trendy 2. you almost run down 3. in the lowest chamber only blocks are to be found that are really not worth this effort-no paintings or the same) and hop on to the sphinx-full but ok .Since we were quickly through the trip ended initially not at the bus but at McDonalds here Achmed left us and we had a lot of fun together. Back to the bus Hurghada/bed we come . Now you can lie down exhausted and plan your further journeys.
Thank you very much!!!
Super trip 5 stars are too little but 10 stars would be too much because it reminds with the stopovers of a coffee ride
