We want to go to the pyramids for the first time in 11 visits to Egypt. Tell me, is it worth it or not? How to go from Makadi? Is it dangerous now? What to wear there - we will be there in 4 days for 12 days

Good afternoon! Now Cairo costs from $35 from Hurghada! For a transfer from Makadi, an additional $20 per car!
It's a long ride - 7.5 hours ((( the road is safe!
I advise you to consider a trip to Luxor - a much more interesting program, and go 4 hours from Makadi!
Have a good rest))

It's definitely worth the trip! If you love antiques! At the same time, see if the new museum that is being built near the pyramids is ready! Better by plane! Yes, more expensive, but faster and more comfortable. You can take the bus, but it is tiring, and you still have to be on your feet all day! It's hot there! The main thing is sunscreen and money!)) Clothes are comfortable. It is very profitable there and I would say almost for nothing you can buy souvenirs .. you can bargain up to 1 dollar))

Of course go! It's a wonder of the world! This is nowhere else. Yes, there will be local Arabs around offering unnecessary "needs", but it's worth a look. The bus is not fatal. I went, moth 10-year-old children went, 65-year-old mother went. The road did not tire them much.

On our first visit to Egypt from Hurghada, we went by bus to the pyramids. The tour was interesting, we were lucky with the guide. The tour took 22 hours, of which 14-15 hours on the road. Of course we're tired. We were also in Luxor - EXCURSION JUST SUPER!

I haven't been and don't intend to. Friends are all disappointed. And different for several years of travel. Nothing to see but rocks. The most interesting place is the museum. But. There were very few in the museum, almost running. It’s interesting there, but they don’t have time to admire anything. Their conclusion: the time and effort spent on the road are not compensated by the impressions of what they see.
I highly recommend Luxor! Friends who have traveled both to the pyramids and to Luxor say heaven and earth. I really liked it. There is a lot to see. Impressions are alive and 8 years after the trip!
One girlfriend really wants to go to the pyramids, but she can't find a company in any way. On the offer to go to a more interesting Luxor, she replies that she is not interested in seeing antiquity, but to go to the pyramids for show, they say, she was in Egypt, but not on the pyramids.
You decide. If the road is not strained for you and you have time and money, visit both there and there :) If you are limited by something, but you want more interesting experiences - I am for Luxor.

Be sure to stock up on water for the trip. It happens that they give it on the bus, but sometimes they sell it and it’s expensive :) a couple of bucks for 0.5.

Who in Egypt how much does Luxor cost from Makadi, I really want to, especially after reading that it’s only 4 hours before it, for the first time seemed to take longer

Mishonok, it also seemed to me that the road was very long :) I would gladly go a second time more consciously, but so far we only fly to Sharm. I dream in Mars direct, there is already a flight. It remains to find those who wish to go to Luxor :)

And I have not been to Cairo and I don’t have much desire.)) The road is very difficult. But I really wanted to go to Luxor and I liked it there. In Hurghada, one might say, only because of Luxor and went.

TanjaYad, have not been to Cairo in vain! This city is multifaceted and huge! Yes, it is dusty in places, but in places it is so bewitching !! And the pyramids and the Sphinx are an integral part of Cairo, Egypt and the world as a whole! The museum is just amazing. We even managed to shoot on the phone what was forbidden) The police are at every turn in the museum, they are ubiquitous)). BUT the secrets of ancient Egypt are worth seeing! Luxor and the Temple of Hatshepsut are different .. it is also beautiful and grandiose .. but the pyramids are power! Honestly, I have never understood and will not understand people who travel to Egypt more than once and have never seen the pyramids ..
