Hany habibi took care of it.

The day trip is worth it; it is a long drive, but compared to flying, it does not save much. The drivers were great and nice, and the German-speaking guide was able to tell us about the history the whole time. The lunch buffet is also good, but drinks are paid for separately. Since the program is quite full, you cannot dawdle too much, but that is okay too. On the whole, the history of Egypt can be explored in one day and is a must for every visitor.
