From Hurghada a little closer than from Sharm. Excursions are offered in all hotels, the only way to reduce the time is by plane and not by bus. We flew and the tour was not tiring for us. ...

Thank you for your answer. Where did you fly from? What plane? How long to fly and how much does it cost (2 adults and 2 schoolchildren? Is it true that they don’t let you get close to the Pyramids themselves? Sorry for the disturbance, thank you in advance.

A little is a little. What from Hurghada that from Sharm was taken at about 1 am.
So it is more convenient but much more expensive by plane. In the same place where you will take excursions (on the street or in a hotel), you will be offered two options, both by plane and by bus, and you will choose.

Indeed, the distance from Hurghada to the pyramids is slightly less than from Sharm el-Sheikh, but not much. For comparison, prices from operators for excursions: Cairo from Sharm by bus 75 USD, by plane 250 USD; Cairo from Hurghada by bus 75 USD, by plane 240 USD I repeat - these are the prices of hotel guides, that is, it will be cheaper in street agencies.

It is better to go to the pyramids from Hurghada. All operators offer these excursions. You can fly there by plane. And faster and more convenient, only more expensive.

From Hurgoda, but better by plane and more time there will be and safer than by bus.
I just went to Luxor that year by bus, so there they are so carriers, drivers sleep 2 hours a day, and then fall asleep at the wheel. So don't tempt your luck, it's better to recast these 175 USD.

We went to Luxor in August. Of course it's interesting, but it's hell. The temperature was 65 degrees. The children were scary to look at. It is better to make such trips when it is cooler.

80% of tourists go to the pyramids. The distance is about 500 km. The difference in distance for different resorts is quite small - about 50 km. In fact, there are several pyramid sites in Egypt. We are talking about the main place of pilgrimage - the pyramids of one dynasty (Cheops, etc.), located near Cairo. The tour includes a visit to the Cairo Historical Museum, the pyramids and the Sphinx (next to the pyramids), one of the many "factories" of papyrus and essential oils.
The aircraft version is physically lighter. But it does not give significant time savings - to the airport, registration, flight, transfer - it will take 4 hours. Pillows on the bus help.

There is practically no difference. If by bus, yes there is a risk, the Arabs are fatalists, nothing can be done about it. But take my word for it, in the Crimea there are more tourists who suffer in a year than in Egypt. The choice is yours. But the most annoying thing is that more time is spent on visiting shops, shops, factories, much more than on the pyramids.

go to Hurghada, you will go to the pyramids and to Luxor, especially since schoolchildren, they will be interested. they let you in to the pyramids, only in principle you can really see only one. you won’t go to the lead, but it’s so interesting to see it. And Luxor is cooler than the pyramids, I just recommend it, and the price is the same as the pyramids, but closer.

What from Sharm, what from Hurghada - to go to the pyramids the same way - all night! But no one takes a bus to Luxor from Sharm. And this excursion is more interesting than the pyramids, which have become just a means of extorting money from tourists, dolpas of tourists, a live conveyor, 15 minutes of time ... In Luxor, you will see the famous Kanak temple with ancient inscriptions carved on clones of the ideal form. How they in ancient times drew regular circles, ellipses and other beauty without a compass. There is also the Valley of the Kings (they show the tombs of several Ramses, with going inside). Somewhere there is also the tomb of Tutankhamen, but on a standard tour it is not shown at all, even from the outside...

Completely agree with Monstress. I also advise you to go to Luxor. Much more variety and excitement. You completely plunge into the ancient civilization, walking around the Karnak temple or entering the tombs!!! We went in March of this year from Marsa Alam. Regarding the bus ride, I am very surprised by the recent events with accidents on the roads, because. we were escorted by a convoy, there were about 20 buses from many resorts, the speed was no more than 80 km / h, and besides, there were two drivers (one was driving, the second was resting). Well, the choice is yours!

We flew from Sharm. Adults 250, children 180. Registration took 2 hours, the flight was 40 minutes. We didn’t buy a tour on the street because we didn’t have checked places and we didn’t take risks. Friends decided to take a tour to the pyramids by bus. Having entered the bus, such a picture was observed, the tourists laid out a chair for convenience, which prevented the people sitting behind from sitting. It was very uncomfortable to sit and lie down, and if you decide to refuse the tour, the money is not returned.
