Long day out!
Seeing the Pyramids was high on my once in a lifetime lists of things to do. However, our trip ran out of time, and we didn't get to spend as long with the Pyramids as I would have liked to. A lot of time was wasted in the museum, and we didn't get to explore it ourselves either. This was a pro and con. Pro because our tour guide explained what we were seeing, but a con because we didn't see alot of the museum and hung around in areas for too long waiting for the rest of the group to catch up. The trip crammed a lot , which I think is good but could do with refining. Maybe the museum could last on the trip. The food was eat with caution. The place we ate was very un clean and me and my partner and I both got a bad belly, as did another person in the coach. It was probably the worst food we had in our whole stay in Egypt. Maybe change the restaurant, but the looks of the standard in Cairo may be similar to what we experienced. The boat trip on the nile wouldn't get started and the boat was free floating until they managed to get it going which took 20 mins, again a time waster, so the Pyramids the thing you come to see is last on the list and for that reason cut short which was bitter sweet. The tour guide, however, is what keeps this a 4 star trip as he was truly amazing, passionate about Egyptian history, and really looked after us in times when locals wanted to con tourists out of money. He made sure everyone was kept safe, and we felt lucky to have him as our tour guide. We left our hotel at 1.30am from hurghada and arrived back 24 hours later. So a long long day out, but I would say worth it. Its definitely an experience we won't forget, good and bad.

Excellent trip
We had Hanen as guide today and everything went smoothly and much better as planned. Everything was very clear and explained well, it was a very informative but also fun experience with Hanen being our guide. Hanen made this tour an absolutely amazing experience with her being very friendly and professional at the same time. We had a fun trip today and would recommend other’s to book this trip with Hanen as guide as well! ☺️

Lang bus tur, fed oplevelse
Rigtig god årstid at tage sådan en tur, især hvis man vil ind i pyramider, der er næsten ingen mennesker, man har det hele for sig selv,det gør oplevelsen meget bedre,
Guiden der bor i Cairo er den sødeste og nedst talende guide der var med på vores tur.

単に息を吸う
うわぁ、私たちは、外出先では、道路のでこぼこだけでコーチに多くの睡眠ではない23時間、コーチは非常に快適で良いエアコン、我々はハンナと呼ばれる私たちのガイドに会った日、カイロで、彼女は素晴らしいでしたか？ファーストクラスの英語と知識のフルは、彼女が質問に答える時間がたくさんあったと本当に私たちの旅行を価値のあるものにし、すべての機会で私たちを正しく保ち、非常によく私たちの世話をしてくれたので、この旅行を非常にお勧めし、あなたのガイドのためにハンナを得る場合は特に例外的になります。

Simply magnificent from start to finish, highly recommended.
Simply an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Yes a long trip but totally worth it. We went as a family with 2, 8 year olds and we opted for the optional Nile boat trip and camel ride around the pyramids, which in my opinion at just 20 gbp was absolutely great value for money. Seeing so many historic things in one day was so special and although time is limited at each stop, it is plenty of time to take it all in.
Hanan our tour guide was so kind and helpful, she certainly knows a lot about the ancient Egyptians and the history which proved very useful during the day. She kept us informed of the days program and gave detailed information regarding any optional extras and wasn’t pushy as some other tours we have been on.
Hanan gave great advice for navigating through the numerous sellers and gave great suggestions for alternative places to buy the same products but much cheaper.
Firstly we stopped at the Egyptian museum where, as you would expect, was full of antiquities and artefacts from Egypt which were all fascinating. As time was limited, Hanan guided our time well with the most significant items on display. We did have free time to explore and were able to see all we wanted to see.
Second stop was a perfume and Oil establishment where were treated with warm Bedouin hospitality and traditional drinks and shown with expert guidance many different scents oils and aroma’s they produced with the option of purchasing some of you wished, without any pressure.
Following this we had lunch as a group in a nice local authentic eatery that had a variety of buffet style foods with grilled meet selection brought to your table. Drinks are not included but are very reasonably priced. During the lunch stop Hanan recommended a shop close to the restaurant were we could do a little tourist shopping.
Next stop took us to the highlight of the day, the pyramids and the Sphinx! What can I say except for WOW! Such an amazing experience, we opted for a camel ride (horse and carriage is available) as a family we had a camel each and the ride was approximately 30 minutes which took us to a highlight point to get a panoramic view of all the pyramids. Our Camel guide took some great photos for us and appreciate a gesture of gratitude for the pleasure. We had plenty of free time to touch and explore and live in the experience which was truly breathtaking. You can pay extra to go into the pyramids but as a 6ft 1” man with a bad back, I opted out of this one. Hanan explained that although you can go inside the great pyramid, there isn’t all that much to see but the option was still available.
Following the pyramids, we went down to the sphinx were Hanan made a great suggestion on where to go to avoid busy crowds and to get fantastic photos.
All throughout the trip to the pyramids and sphinx we were expertly guided by Hanan on the history and significance of what we’re seeing and also a lot of modern local information and culture that just added to the experience.
Last stop was to a papyrus established where you can see how the papyrus is made and worked and its history and significance in Egyptian culture. Many wonderful papyrus works were on display and again, you have the option to purchase at very affordable prices, with no pressure to buy.
Overall, the day was well worth the lengthy travel to and from Cairo. You simply would not regret this trip and I would highly recommend as it gives you the opportunity to experience Egypt and its history, something you simply cannot do staying in Hurghada alone.
The trip is great value for money, family friendly and gives you all you could ever want to make truly amazing memories. For those who maybe have anxiety about taking children or lone travellers who worry about safety, I can simply say I have never felt safer on a trip in a foreign country. We had an armed guard with us at all times as well as the guide, 2 hosts and the driver who were all acting for our safety and security to allow us to have a great trip without any fear or worry. Also, all optional extras were pre arranged by the tour guide (you need to confirm if you want to do these extra activities earlier so the guide can arrange) using reputable sources that ensure we were well looked after at all times.
Some tips and advice for perspective traveler's. Bring a hat and plenty of cool water. You should be prepared for many sellers but remember it’s ok to say no thank you. Be prepared for optional trips that you can pay in many different currencies, and again, it’s ok not to do these (but I highly recommend you do) also, show generosity to those who help such as the camel guide, it makes such a difference in the quality of the experience and we’re not talking a lot of money, just a show of gratitude. Lastly, the trip is long so make sure you have some snacks, book and some music and take advantage of rest stops to use the restroom and replenish your water.
