The approximately six-hour journey to Cairo in the public bus took some getting used to, but not uncomfortable as it was a fairly new coach. There we were welcomed directly by our guide and driver. From there it was a full day private tour. The guide Achmed always provided us with a lot of information about history, country and people. The driver guided us safely through Cairo's traffic and the guide through the never-ending queues at the hotspots. Photos were also included. Without Achmed's targeted guidance through the historical museum, we would only have seen a fraction of it and would have been rushed and tired. The restaurant is of course a tourist canteen, but the food was very tasty, but the drinks were priced at western levels. As expected, the visit to the perfumery was a sales event, but the goods on offer were good and you didn't have to buy anything. Entry into the Great Pyramid is not for the weak of stamina. Best excursion!

This was a very long day!! Shout out to our driver for driving 6 hours there and 8 hours back with no rest in between as we moved from location to location. Cairo was lovely to see and Esraa our tour guide was 10/10. She taught us so much history and took lovely pictures of us too all day. Make sure you keep 24 hours aside for this trip!

Good service from hotel to bus station in Hurghada. Relaxed seats in the shared bus. We also had a private car with driver and guide who met us at the bus station in Cairo. Ahmed Mohsen was waiting for us there. Could tell a lot about the history and gave us tips. Talked to him about what we were going to do. In short, a great day. Thank you Ahmed Mohsen!
