PYRAMIDS OF GIZA + EGYPTIAN MUSEUM CAIRO - Travel by bus to the cairo DA sharm el sheikh to see the Pyramids!!! 23:40 departure DA the resort various stops arrival first stop Egyptian museum then excursion on the Nile very nice, then we passed to the bazaar of the original papyri and then finally to the pyramids will be 'short the trip is very tiring take a backpack with various snacks sandwiches fruit sunscreens hats and anything DA consume certainly you have understood lunch but if you do not like Egyptian cuisine where they will take you for lunch you better have everything!!!!! So the backpack you will leave it on the coach.The Nile excursion you pay 10 € separately,..... to get INSIDE the Pyramids are another 30 € each when you stay at the pyramids will be (if you want)15 € camel 20 € carriage x 2 people with horse..... I preferred to walk 30 minutes to turn the whole DA drink pyramid there are many honest people who sell 1 € water 1 € the coke. beautiful excursion but very very very tiring we returned to the hotel the next day at 2 am🤣si I would do it again because see so much beauty has immense satisfaction.

Cairo Day Trip by Bus DA Sharm - The bus ride to Cairo with my 15-year-old son was a wonderful experience. It was all organized to perfection. Upon our arrival in Cairo a very prepared and friendly guide waited for us who followed us throughout the day and told us in a charming way the story of the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids and the Sphinx. He also took us on a mini cruise on the Nile, accompanied us to the papyrus factory and the gallery of essences and perfumes. What about... SENSATIONAL DAY 😍 In the plateau of Giza I left my heart ❤

A journey through the time of the incredible - It was a long time that we wanted to do this experience we found this agency that has great reviews so we decided to use their services, many get away from this excursion because it is challenging I do not tell you that it is not but leaving at night we managed to get enough sleep and we found ourselves in Cairo from there was a succession of emotions first at the museum with our guide (the cobra) very competent explained many things making this visit very interesting of course is to consider that we are in the largest Egyptian museum in the world and we could not see everything, then boat ride on the Nile where even here the guide provided us with other information and answered exhaustively to our questions then visit to a certified store for the production of papyri.
Then at the restaurant with a breathtaking view of the pyramids you can see from here in the distance the size of the people the dromedaries and buses and from here see the size of these monuments erected 3000 years ago has incredible the restaurant offers good cozy personal food, well cared for drinks are excluded but the prices are normal then visit pyramids and sphinx here I really have no words .. incredible emotion when you are there you appreciate the magnificence of this work. Tiredness disappears you have experienced something unique and magical, believe me what I brought with me from this visit is priceless what to say go there do not postpone. Then we visited a shop extracts of essential oils of plants and flowers at the king ali palace where this art has been handed down for generations go see, finally just a big thanks to book tour
It was a long time that we waited for this day this time we seized this unforgettable opportunity a sincere thanks to the organization in particular to Asmaa our agency contact who has always followed us from booking to support during and feedback on the return.thank you

Fascinating - This was one of the most enjoyable and well-organized tours I’ve ever joined! Everything was perfectly planned from start to finish. Our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic; thanks to their detailed explanations, we were able to experience the history and culture of each place on a deeper level. Transportation was comfortable, the bus was clean, and the rest stops were thoughtfully chosen. The itinerary had a great balance—not too rushed, not too slow. We had plenty of time at each destination to take photos and enjoy the local food. The group harmony was also great—we made new friends along the way. This tour gave me not just amazing memories but also a fresh perspective. I highly recommend it to anyone!
