please advise on the best way to visit Cairo from Sharm by bus or plane
Interested in the difference in cost (2 adults are traveling), are there any differences in the content of excursions (by objects of visit, lunch), travel time, safety and comfort, etc. I would be very grateful for prompt responses, tk. we're leaving in 3 days.

The bus is cheaper, but very tiring, and if funds allow, then of course the plane. The bus will cost 50 dollars, the plane is 3-4 times more expensive, depending on where to buy. In hotels, prices are always too high, and the program is no different from that offered by travel agencies in Naama Bay. The bus is ok in terms of safety, there were no problems, but there was little comfort :) Have a good trip!

There is no difference in the excursion only in time in money, and maybe in food (meaning a restaurant). We flew on a plane and dined in a restaurant located on the Nile River (on a ship) the food is good, only drinks were not included in lunch, you need to buy it yourself .I advise you to fly because we saw people who rode the bus, then, according to their expression, they didn’t want anything. My friends rode the bus, they said that it was tiring (hot, uncomfortable)

We bought an excursion at the hotel from our representative. The price is $210. Yes, and if you fly, you will save time. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for the tour. Take more water with you to buy during the tour will be problematic and expensive.

Easier, yes. But do not forget about transfers to airports, check-in, flights. It's hot - no. Good operators have good buses, air conditioners work.

I traveled by bus, to be honest, very tiring, especially the Cairo Museum, small halls, where 20 guides at the same time shouting over each other in different languages. The plane is definitely better, but expensive, you can try to buy in the city from companies, it will be cheaper there.

We also went by bus, bought from a guide at the hotel ($ 75 with lunch on the ship or $ 65 in some kind of dining room). The ride is quite long (6 hours with 2 stops), but pillows and blankets were issued from the hotel (as well as dry rations for breakfast), you can safely doze off on the road. There were 2 boxes of mineral water on the bus and juices were handed out, so they did not suffer from thirst. They say that when you take a tour from the Arabs in the city (for $ 50), the guide will not tell you much, he will only take you shopping with souvenirs. We are very in

As far as I know, it’s more convenient on an airplane, it’s tiring on a bus. If you are traveling from Sharm, then you can still survive on a bus, but it’s hard from Hurghada .... The fact is that riding a bus takes more time than the excursion itself .. .
