Question about an independent trip to Cairo and the pyramids from Hurghada
Enlighten someone. After the excursion to Luxor, I realized that I wanted to get to the pyramids on my own, because it was a gallop across Europe, which for me, a fan of ancient Egypt, was bad. I didn’t see what I wanted, there was little time + unnecessary papyrus museums, a long gathering of people and transporting them back to hotels and other nonsense Therefore, a couple of questions. As far as I understood from Hurghada, you must first get to El Gouna, where you can buy a bus ticket to Cairo. How much is it worth now in 2010? Then they bring to Cairo to the museum, hence the second question: what is the entrance to the museum. And the last. How to get from the bus station in Cairo to Giza? Taxi, bus? What and how much.
I will be very grateful for answers. Thanks in advance.

There is a direct bus from Hurghada to Cairo. Better than GoBas. 80-100 lbs. the most expensive Royal class non-stop, with meals. There are 2 bus stations in Cairo. in printsepe as far as I remember it is necessary to go out on the first. there is a taxi to Giza. entrance to the pyramids 50-60 pounds per person. there are hotels nearby if you want to stay. different prices. can be found through the internet.
Note - it is better to arrive at the pyramids earlier. They open at 8, they let us in at 7:30. minimum number of people, the atmosphere was incredible! all the same, when he himself is 10,000,000 times better !!

Thank you. The zoo, of course, is interesting, but not that.
NSS5YANDEX.RU Thank you.
Do you know about the museum and Giza?

It is very correct that we decided on the pyramids ourselves ... We were not at the hotel for almost a day, but on the pyramids they gave time for 40 minutes! Factories, shops, a museum in which you simply can’t push through, you can’t see or hear anything ... Also, there is so little time on the pyramids ... just catastrophically little ... I want to sit a little, think about the eternal, let it through myself .. During this time, we only managed to get around 2 pyramids normally and take pictures. We dream that someday we will go there ourselves ....

I gave you this address not because of the zoo, but because the person independently left Hurghada for Cairo, i.e. he could advise you directly on the topic of your question.

Thanks everyone, the action plan is ready. If there are those who want to join the company, I will only be glad. Approximately the second half of September.

We (my wife and I) last year made a 14-day independent trip to the cities of Egypt. Route: Cairo Alexandria Cairo Luxor Aswan Abu Simbel. All on their own. So. We drove from Hurghada airport directly to the bus station. by taxi. 30f. (after bargaining with 60l.) but be prepared for the driver's machinations at the checkpoint. Not much to go 3-4km. Buses leave for Cairo at approximately 1-1.5 hour intervals. 3rd class buses. 1st - about 65 pounds. Here, be careful about the machinations of cashiers. We got caught, but there was no time to argue. We arrived at 13.00 and the bus at 13.30, next at 14.30. The cashier said there were no more tickets. We naturally began to decide on further actions. Here he says that they have a couple of tickets, but you need to pay 50l extra. from a person. We agreed. TIP: in case of disputes, just call the tourist police. You can call, but they will “understand” you for a long time, but there is a very simple way, just shout out loud: TOURIST POLIS!
TOURIST POLIS!

The tourist police are on every corner and they are sure to show up. The main thing: confidence, and not to dissolve your hands. Arabs are very afraid of tour. policy. The latter, always takes the side of the tourist, unless he is on the heels or stoned. In general, in resort towns (Hurghada, Sharm) all the dirt of the Arab world is collected, ready to sell honor or snatch a fatter jackpot from a tourist. They are despised even by the rest of the population of Egypt. When entering Cairo, be careful. The bus stops first at Ramses Square and most get off. You need to go to the final - Tala Atharb in my opinion. There are also many hotels there. We had Lotus. Do not forget to bargain even in hotels. Cairo Museum - in my opinion 80f. We walked half a day in an almost empty museum. Giza entrance I don’t remember how much, we got there by taxi. 30 f. after the auction. The taxi driver didn't know where it was. We showed a guide with photos, but the impression was that he was seeing them for the first time.
Having circled around Cairo, they arrived. I advise you to take a taxi at the hotel for the whole day and drive around: Sakara, Memphis, Dagshur. 150f. after the auction. From 9.00 to 15.00 we rode. The zoo is cool, but everyone is staring and laughing a lot. State river tram recommend 3f.

Walking in Islamic Cairo is something. I really liked the 2000-year-old mosque of Ibn Tulun. Alexandria - 2 hours by train, £40 Grade 2 We were in Cairo for 6 days. Luxor and Aswan for 3 days. Take a walk around Zemalek, and don't forget student (50%) at least some. My wife had Ukrainian, without a word in English. He went everywhere (not without discussion), except for the Aswan Museum and the Luxor Valley of the Kings. Taxi in Cairo 10-20ph. after the auction to all all round. centers. In general, Anna, the manager of the tour agency Skvirel on Proreznaya, helped us with the trip. She told everything, advised, as she herself carried out a good route through Egypt. Thanks to her and Skvirel. Here is their website www.squirrel.com.ua. We are very satisfied. The trip for 2 weeks cost about $1300. At the same time, they visited everything that could be visited. I advise everyone.

kuzyusha,
and what dates in September are you going to Hurghada and what hotel will you be in? We are going on the 22nd, but for the time being we are not sure either Hurghada or Soma Bay.

But I, on the contrary, liked to go on a tour to Egypt, not without flaws, of course, everything is also very soon, soon, some places that were originally planned were not visited, although they seemed to be included in the program, but they were there with the organization Problems. But in general, there were a lot of positive emotions. True, it was a long time ago, even before these scandals with unpaid hotels. Nevertheless, here I read in the article newsland .ru/news/detail/id/979891/ that even now, anyway, many people prefer to go on a tour specifically to Egypt. Because it's cheaper. But here I don’t know, on my own ... Of course, thanks for the discussion, I read it with interest, but specifically to Egypt, even with an overpayment - I would not go.
