Tour Options
Itinerary
Visit the famous Egyptian Museum with its countless historical exhibits.
Enjoy a boat trip on the Nile for (10 euros per person) or stroll along the banks of the Nile for free.
Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! You will find a total of three pyramids here: the Chephren, Cheops and Mykerinos pyramids. You can discover the area on foot, on horseback or by camel. Duration between 2 and 3 hours.
After visiting the pyramids of Giza, you will go to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and most preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The Sphinx was carved from the remainder of a limestone mound that served as a quarry for the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Duration approx. 20-30 minutes.
Since all buses have to wait for the convoy leaving Cairo for Sharm at the end of the day, you will make one or two of the following stops: characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also help the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt.

The visit was good excellent lunch, but there were unnecessary stops, such as the perfumery area, after the exhausting trip the return should be immediately
Was agreat tour was a great guide tiger we hope to go another time with our family and children thanks for everything for all
Had a amazing massage from Sara and shahd both very well professional made us feel very welcome and gave a amazing massage
Too long a day, about 26 hours overall. Too much wasted time doing oil, spice and papyrus factories, and not enough time at the attractions. Nile boat trip and camel / buggy rides also a waste of time and money.Lunch was good. Honestly would not recommend.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that this tour can feel long, however it is important to note that this experience is a bus journey from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo, which naturally involves long travel hours. The itinerary, including factory visits, Nile boat trip, and optional activities, is clearly mentioned in the tour description and is designed to give guests a broader cultural experience during such a long-distance trip. Many travelers appreciate these stops as breaks during the journey, while others may prefer shorter or private tours. For guests looking for a faster experience with more time at the attractions, we usually recommend domestic flights or private tours instead of bus tours. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration to help future travelers choose the option that best suits their expectations. Kind regards, Sharm Star Team
