You can go on your own, but in my opinion it is more expensive: a round-trip bus is at least 200 pounds, the entrance to the museum is 10, a taxi from the museum to the pyramids and the sphinx is 35 pounds, the entrance to the pyramids is 35 pounds, then back to the taxi bus stop - 35 pounds. ..So all together £315 (no lunch) = $55 plus lunch.....so count...
And the cost of the tour is from $ 50 with a Russian-speaking guide ...

It makes sense to go on your own. even the question is not money, but time - it is not limited. and in Cairo, besides the pyramids, there is something to see.
By the way, the entrance to the pyramids and the Sphinx is 50-60 pounds. and taxis are much cheaper.
and with a travel agency you won’t have time to see anything

Indeed, as of November 2012, the price of TEZTOUR for an excursion from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo is $75. BUT!
Of course, there are pluses.
Firstly, TEZTOUR has some of the best buses among Russian-oriented tour operators. In addition, only they have Wi-Fi internet on board, through the Egyptian mobile operator Etisalat. Naturally, limited by the coverage area of a given cellular operator. This is where the pluses end.
Other tour operators have buses no worse, but their prices are not lower (Pegas, for example - $90). I must say that, regardless of the choice, all buses have a toilet and air conditioning. The difference lies in the cleanliness and comfort of the seats. Most buses are Egyptian Mercedes MCV 600. There are, of course, exceptions. But in general, comfort depends on the year of manufacture of the bus.
It may seem that the difference with Egyptian street agencies is not so great ($45-55), indeed, that we should spend an extra $20-50 on ourselves on vacation ... But aren't you tired of paying for nothing? For far-fetched security problems, or rather for the lack thereof in the case of choosing your tour operator? For allegedly long time intervals of stay in historical and cultural places?

Firstly, ALL tour operators leave together. Not on the same bus, of course. But TOGETHER. In the west of Sharm El Sheikh there is a checkpoint at Presdeintly Sharm Entrance, Qesm Sharm Ash Sheikh (27.859263,34.265217). This is where, in fact, the tourist zone of Sinai ends, beyond which you can only travel with a visa. And in the same place, despite the different times for collecting tourists, buses gather in hotels before traveling to the north. Approximately at 03.00 a police car passes the entire "problematic" route to Abu Zenim (29.024911, 33.151148). And then accompanies the buses in a column. In addition, an employee in civilian clothes with military weapons is put on EVERY bus. At a considerable speed, buses travel a route of 200 km without stopping. It was not possible to find out the reason for such a convoy, either they are protecting the oil-bearing region from the Bedouins, or from us - what if we attack?
We had a problem on the way - the hatch to the engine compartment at the end of the passage was slightly opened. I had to crush him with a box of water, because they were not going to stop ...

Just 500 km to Cairo. The roads in Egypt are in good condition, so even taking into account the delay at the exit and one stop after passing under the Suez Canal (toilet 1 pound), tourists get to Cairo around 09.00. At the rush hour. You can look at Brownian motion, but you get bored quickly. On the roads of Egypt, you can not draw stripes, no one needs them - grinding and trimming is normal. There are NO unbroken cars in Cairo.
The program of excursions is the same for EVERYONE - you get to the museum at about 10.00 (buying tickets, handing over piercing and cutting objects, photo and video cameras - shooting in the museum is prohibited) for a maximum of one and a half hours, then a boat, lunch, a perfume factory, pyramids + sphinx, a papyrus museum . And the departure is at 16.45.
I must say that the boat ride is paid, from $ 7 to $ 9, but the guide will do everything in his power to get you there without notifying that they can and must deliver to the lunch place by bus for free. This is what happened in the case of CANAL TRANSPORTS. The most amazing thing is that out of a group of 45 people, 39 dutifully paid! Here are good Russians for you ...

So, starting from 11.40-12.00 - boat. It takes about 20-30 minutes (depending on the location of the lunch), lunch 12.30-13.00, then moving to the perfume factory. It is on the way to Giza and there you will meet again with all the buses from the convoy. Since you have to spend at least an hour there. Delicious smells, but then are we in Cairo??? Factory - 13.30-14.30. It's not far from the pyramids. But we managed to get there only at 15.15.
And they close at 4pm! The police gives another 30-40 minutes to exit the territory. So upon arrival - run to inspect the boat near the pyramid of Cheops and the third, smallest pyramid - admission to it is free. And in the pyramid of Cheops - 100 pounds. Moreover, the entrance to the territory of the pyramids and the museum - for 60 pounds each ... That's what advertising and marketing does.
Then another hour in the papyrus museum, before which the guide will definitely mention that you need to bargain for 50-60% ... Of course! Prices are 300-700 pounds ($50-120). Such a papyrus can be bought for five! especially beautiful - for 10 dollars. Just wander through the streets of Naama Bay Sharm El Sheikh. Only not in the central ones, but a little further away - the price decreases by 2-3 times ...

Departure only at 18.00-18.30 - and again rush hour and traffic jams. Total from the city - at 19.30. Plus 6 hours on the road. One stop and again the convoy, only in the opposite direction.
Total 24-26 hours of excursion, of which 3 hours of real benefit. Is it worth $75-100? Yes, and fifty is not worth it, considering how much diesel fuel costs them ...
There is an option for an individual tour in private - a taxi $ 160-180, plus a Russian-speaking guide in Cairo $ 30. Plus the entrance to the museum and the pyramids for $10 (the exchange rate is either VISA or exchangers - about 6.1).
It is impossible to say what safety problems there may be, everything is decided by payment upon arrival, and not upon departure ... Thus, the driver will be interested in your safe return. Never pay the taxi driver in advance. You don't do that with us, do you?
TIP: upon arrival, buy a SIM card from a local operator. Go, preferably, to the offices of companies directly, and not to stores selling all operators at once. Then it will be possible to use communications and the Internet at our usual rates. And in case of difficulties during the excursions, immediately contact your seller.
