Enjoy your lunch
The excursion continues with a visit to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure. The pyramid tour concludes at the Sphinx and the temple surrounding it. 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 escorted by a police vehicle for security reasons.
Since all buses must wait at the end of the day for the convoy traveling from Cairo to Hurghada, 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 introduce you to the ancient Egyptian techniques for producing papyrus and essential oils. These two interesting visits will broaden your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and also help the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors, preserving these very old crafts from ancient Egypt. (While you wait for the convoy to return)

Gamil Hassan was really great. Lots of information and very helpful booking add ons etc. Highlyvrecommended
Booked as it was advertised as a small group, however the longest part of the trip is travelling on a full big coach, seats are allocated however we were made to move seats to accommodate a a couple of girls which resulted in us sitting in the back row of the bus where the seats are smaller and both myself and husband had no access to air conditioning for the journey making it the most uncomfortable journey ever, We were unable to sleep on the journey resulting in us being absolutely exhausted and soaking with sweat when we arrived at Cairo, the whole tour from pick up to drop off back at hotel was 24.5 hrs
Really enjoyed the trip, our guide Hussein how good at his profession that we were in ancient Egypt for a moment. Completely assisted us with everything
I recommend this excursion, everything is well organized from the pickup until the end of the visit, guide is top-notch and explains everything there is to know correctly
Gamil Hassan prepared a great tour for us. He was very proffesional, kind, and presented the locationas in a very interestig way. The pyramids are as spectacular as I imagined and The Grand Egyptian Museum in Kairo is the most most beautiful museum I have seen so far. The security and presentation of the arartifacts are like nothing I've ever seen. Museums around the world: take notes. An unforgetable experience. Everyone should visit. Highly recommend.
Gamil Hassan was an excellent guide! We had an amazing experience visiting pyramids!
Gamil hassan was great. He was very profesional, has a lot of knowledge and is very patient and kind with turists. New museuim in Kairo is fantastic, build with cement glass and lights. You must see it.
Incredible day and guide Mustapha was very kind and attentive to us, the pyramids, the museum are magnificent! A very beautiful experience! The heat is grueling and the day is very long without being able to really sleep beforehand, to be taken into account with young children or elderly people.
Although our actual time spent in Cairo was enjoyable & our guide was superb (Gamil) please beware that if you are travelling as a family of 3 (as we were) you may well be asked to move seats to accommodate other passengers during the journey from Hurghada to Cairo, which made the journey extremely uncomfortable due to the poor air con on the back row of the coach & no air con at all if you are sitting in the centre seat of the back row. The uncomfortable journey from Hurghada to Cairo is the reason for the 2 star review i have given.
Gamil hassan great guide throughout the day clear instructions and very knowledgeable
