To hitchhike. But I don't recommend it, to be honest. Egypt is not a country where you can go on an independent trip over 500 km.

To travel from Sharm to the African part of Egypt, you need an Egyptian visa. It is better not to travel in Egypt on your own. There is a ferry, bus, but it is safer with a travel agency

I do not recommend it on your own, except if you do not speak Arabic) And so there are bus stations in Sharm, departure to Cairo every hour or an hour and a half. Upon arrival, take a taxi and go to Giza, where the pyramids are located) But it will turn out more expensive than going with an organized tour and guide!

If the task is to drive to the pyramids one day, it’s better, indeed, to buy an excursion. And if it’s normal to see Cairo with the pyramids without galloping and 16-hour shaking on the bus, then, of course, a plane + taxi + a couple of nights in a hotel. Yes, it will be more expensive than a bus tour in the company of 40 people, but comfort always costs money.
From a safety point of view, there is no difference whether you go on your own or with a guide. Since 2011, Egypt, in principle, is not very conducive to travel, either blown up or stabbed on the beach with a knife ...

And you can also buy a camel and feel all that romance of travel that accompanies the ancient Egyptians. You can then sell the camel and return the expenses????

Oh, not true, the ancient Egyptians traveled in palanquins carried by slaves. So you need to buy slaves and not a camel.

With the use of slaves, such a journey will even cost less. Camels are more expensive :)

In Sharm, buy a trip to Cairo, which costs from 40 to 70 dollars, and you will see the Sphinx you want)))

Objectively, there is nothing to do in Cairo! If you have not seen the pyramids, you can go once and see. But bitch road 8 hours there, the same amount back, once again think about whether it's worth it or not!

We specifically went to rest on the mainland to go on excursions. Although much closer than from Sharm, it was still annoying. From Sharm it's easier to Israel or Mount Moses.

here some answers "barkered" the street. What does it mean through a travel agency cheaper?! Travel agency - to visit Cairo about $100. Independently go to Cairo $ 10 there and the same amount back. Entrance ticket to see the pyramids - $5. Travel and food in Cairo - $10 (Given that $8 was spent at KFC).
