We went in January last year.
$55 per person, by bus.
Very tiring, they pick up at about one in the morning from the hotel, we drive all night, constant stops at roadblocks, do not get enough sleep, the bus is pretty cool. In the morning we arrive, the Cairo Museum at the beginning, then, if desired, a boat trip along the Nile for $ 10, lunch, and the pyramids. There, at most, an hour and a half, everything is compressed, the oil factory and the papyrus factory are then taken. About 5 hours ago, sending, also tiring, solid roadblocks, checks. After 12 they are delivered to the hotel.
The trip, although very tiring, is worth it, the pyramids are worth seeing.

+ a lost day for staying at a hotel, if you fly to Sharm for a week it's not worth it.

The trip is not easy. Take a pillow from the hotel. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo made no less impression than the pyramids. We drove through the tunnel under the Suez Canal. Being in Egypt and not seeing the pyramids is nonsense. But stronger impressions were from Luxor.

Honestly, it's not worth it. My husband and I were both in Cairo and on the pyramids for a long time, when we rested in Hurghada. When we began to travel with children, since we live in Kharkov, we began to fly in charm. My son really wanted to see the pyramids. But having assessed the distance of the road and the impressions of friends who decided on this excursion, we decided that this year we are resting in Hurghada and taking the children on excursions. From the charm it is very difficult (if by bus) and expensive if by plane.

I went for a long time, in 2010, however, from Hurghada, and not from Sharm. It cost 160 per person (surprisingly, after so many years I remember the price, but it was the most expensive tour of the entire holiday).
Perhaps I will join the opinion that it’s not worth rushing from the Red Sea resorts to Cairo for one day, it’s better to set aside Cairo and the pyramids for two or three days to look at everything thoughtfully and without a crowd of people.

You have to go from Hurghada. With Sharma it's not worth it, it's hard. From Sharma to Israel, Mount Moses, with a stop at the monastery of St. Catherine.

Given the current tense relations between Ukraine and Israel, it’s not worth going to Israel either, there’s just not much chance that they will let you through at the border.

I’ll answer from my point of view, and then see for yourself, at the cost now they won’t give you specific numbers, since now they float and depend on several factors - for example, where will you buy (Guide-agency-street distributors), the air tour is expensive, sometimes it will pull half the cost of the tour, so let's consider the bus, the price will dance around $ 50 plus or minus, from communication with tourists I learned that the travel time, from Hurghada, from Sharm +/- the same, about 8 hours, but in Sharm you will have to buy a visa to go to the African mainland on an excursion (I went from Hurghada).
As for whether it’s worth it or not, everyone decides for himself, and depending on the style of his vacation, my friends fly to Egypt three or four times a year and beyond the territory of the hotel, only they go on a yacht with quadrics and that’s it. For example, on the second or third day of rest, I start to "turn sour" in the hotel (seal rest is not mine), so decide for yourself, but I think it's worth it, it's still a miracle of the world, and to be in Egypt and not look at the pyramids, then you will remember with regret .

As for fatigue, everything can be compared, if for the first time on such an excursion, it will be difficult, although the roads are good and smooth, except that roadblocks are annoying. And if you have experience of bus tours to Europe, with standing at the borders of 5 7 hours, then the road to Cairo will seem like a country walk, impressions are based on personal experience.

Guys, it’s better not to consider bus excursions to such a distance. I have experience of a bus tour in Europe, but it was at the age of 20, when the attitude to everyday troubles is completely different than in adulthood.

Went this February, 20-21. The tour was taken by a guide at the hotel. The cost of a visa is $ 140, if the visa has already been issued at the airport, then $ 115. Departure was on February 20 at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. The bus is good, with air conditioning. One stop for 30 minutes. Arrived in Cairo at 8 pm. We were immediately taken to a hotel-ship, where we spent the night. The ship inside is chic, clean and beautiful. Dinner in a good restaurant on the ship, buffet, everything is delicious and in abundance. Then in the concert hall of the ship there was a concert - a girl danced a belly dance, then a guy - a dance with skirts. Impressed! In the morning breakfast in the restaurant, buffet, delicious. We were taken on a tour of the Cairo Museum and the city. Then lunch at a fish restaurant, also on the ship. The food is good, delicious, and no drinks. Even water, and 2 dollars for 0.5 liters. Then a trip to the pyramids. At least once in a lifetime you need to see and touch such antiquity.
Then they were taken to papyrus and cosmetics stores. The houses were on the first night. I do not regret that I left.

They lead not only to the pyramids there. There's also the Cairo Museum, amazing with the mummy of Tutankhamen. Well, and all sorts of citadels-mosques there, they are no longer in my memory, but a museum! I still remember that excitement.

Read the terms of the tour carefully - this information is the most important. Pay special attention to the line where it is indicated about drinks. As a rule, when it is indicated that drinks are not included, we mean alcoholic - but in fact EVERYTHING. You will not even be given water, so if all - if you decide to go from Sharm to Cairo, then stock up on water, warm clothes and patience. the main task of the party providing you with the service is to quickly and quickly show you the sights, and drag you around the shops and shops for a long and painful time. The price of this pleasure is 50-60 dollars per person. In my opinion, it is better to make this trip from Hurghada, but if you there is such a goal - go for it. Have a good trip and good impressions.
Yes, and even everywhere natives will follow you, obsessively offer their services and beg for money.

If you are still in Egypt, it’s better to go when it’s not seven days, you definitely can’t go to the museum for lost time, like a tour of the Nile, but you need to see the pyramids once in a lifetime.

I explain about the museum so that there is no sarcasm, the visit to the museum takes place after the pyramids, more than two hours in rooms where it is hot and this is after a tiring road, so if you are ready for such loads, please, I also want to remind you that the museum was looted, I just was in it before these events.

We were brought to the museum in front of the pyramids, at 9 in the morning, I had a dry bottle, so the guards took it away, but then they gave it away. But the toilets are terrible! This is a wild scoop, they did not know the repair. There is a position of a distributor of liquid soap, plus some kind of staff there constantly begs for tips, I have never seen this anywhere, it's just a scribe! So many people pass in a day, the ticket is not cheap, about 7 dollars, and not to allocate money for repairing the toilet, and a decent salary for employees, well, this is generally greed of the administration.

Markscheider, what year did you visit? I was still BEFORE the military coup of 2013, the staff did not beg for anything, just watched our aunts in the museum halls so that they would not touch anything superfluous.

There was an introduction, I think that they beg in the toilet, there they wipe their hands with toilet paper or the duty officer gives out liquid soap, and then asks for a reward. And in the halls no one begs, except that when there was free time local schoolchildren met, who they wanted to, or rather, a group of six people stood on the sidelines, and the parliamentarian in English with a strong accent tried to ask something, I still didn’t understand, his wife gave him a chocolate. candy bar and we went on to take pictures.
