Enjoy your lunch
The further course of the excursion will take you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The pyramid tour ends at the Sphinx and the temple in its vicinity. Due to the convoy, the journey from Hurghada to Cairo (One Way ) can take between 6 and 8 hours, as all buses and cars must be driven with a police car for safety reasons.
Pass by: Since all buses have to wait for the convoy leaving Cairo for Hurghada at the end of the day, you will make one or two of the following stops: characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also help the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt.

Nice experience
Nice experience in Cairo, you must try
Beautiful, highly recommended.
Top experience! We had a beautiful tour with Lorenzo. We visited the Gem, the pyramid, and the sphinx, along with various typical boutiques, guided by a very knowledgeable and accommodating person. The driver was also excellent!
SAMEH THE BEST GUIDE
We were not sure if we could manage this trip with our 2-year-old daughter because of the long journey, but we decided to go for it—and we are so happy we did! We were picked up from our hotel on time in a comfortable bus with good air conditioning. The bus ride to Cairo was long, but it was worth every minute. Once we arrived, our guide, Sameh, surprised us with a private car just for our family, making the experience much more comfortable. The Pyramids were absolutely amazing, and we even enjoyed camel and horse rides. Sameh was an outstanding guide friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and very experienced. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide. After a delicious buffet lunch, we visited the stunning Grand Egyptian Museum. Sameh showed us around and explained everything in great detail. The journey back to the hotel was long, but we are very glad we made this trip. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo. An unforgettable experience!
