you will ride in an air-conditioned bus and the Arabs do not go in it and do not pester. they stick near the very pyramids, and they stick all year round and when it’s cooler they stick more. and now until August 19th Ramadan. theoretically should stick less. but it's theoretical

The road is tiring, the Arabs pester, but the whole thing is aggravated by the heat and the killing sun. My husband and I went to the pyramids in early September. We didn't really see anything, it was so hot. One thought was: to hide from the sun.

+50, you turned it down. Possibly according to your personal experience. For example, now in Hurghada + 38 on average, by the end of August it should be a couple of degrees less. Plus, Cairo is 450 km north of Hurghada, so in this city it is always a couple of degrees less than in Hurghada. Arabs pester (try to sell souvenirs, offer to ride a camel) only on the Giza plateau near the pyramids). There will be no harassment during the rest of the tour. The journey takes an average of 5 hours one way. Not a little, but not a lot, in order to look at one of the wonders of the world. After all, tourists come from all over the world with a desire to see the legendary pyramids, and touch them too;)

In addition, you can get to Cairo not only by bus, but, if desired and possible, of course, by plane. The flight takes 50 minutes.

thanks, but is it true that the entrance to the pyramids is paid? Yes, the price is different on the plane.

For example, now in Hurghada + 38 on average ..
we have +37 in Kyiv now, abnormal heat. Just a disaster. So we have the same activity of the sun is nonsense, when compared with Africa. This time. The road takes SEVEN hours from the charm (the author asked exactly from there), but the road is the most enjoyable part of this excursion :-)
It's like you have to love money and hate tourists to recommend going to Giza in the summer..

in 2009, when I was interested in excursions to the pyramids, flying to Cairo cost 50-100 (I don’t remember exactly) dollars more than taking a bus. domestic flight is not so expensive

Thank you Viltis, it’s really very hot in Kyiv now, I don’t even want to go anywhere. Probably we will transfer the pyramids to the next trip - October, November, I think it will be easier? And what about other excursions - Mount Moses, Israel, Petra - what do you recommend?

So that's even worse. I was, I know :-) I strongly do not advise. And you will understand everything when you arrive :-)
You will run from the beach to the room from shadow to shadow :-) Excursions .. I will not advise any.

100% agree with Viltis. The heat is really unreal. In the same foolishness we went to Luxor. The hotel guide said not to take water with you, the bus will be full of it. She was, but for a fee of 1-2 dollars. for 0.33. It’s good that we didn’t listen to him, but half the bus drank it all quickly. Then the driver stocked up in wholesale stores, and we were forbidden to get off the bus at this time. But my girlfriend and I got past the guide, saw it all, and called the people to stock up on water for a couple of pounds per bottle. Here is the earning system. When you go on any excursion, always take water with you, no matter what you are told. About the heat. I survived with my head covered in Luxor for half an hour, got a heat stroke, took off my hat and felt better under the scorching sun. A lot of people could not go to the Valley of the Kings (after all, even before that there were visits to several "shops and factories" - the most important thing in an excursion for so many kilometers). We talked to the driver of the next bus. He said that throughout the summer in the sun the temperature reaches 50%, even the locals are not easy. November-August is optimal for such trips.

The entrance to the pyramids is paid, it's true. Egypt differs from a huge number of beach resorts not only with its beautiful sea, but first of all with its historical sights. If someone was not impressed by the Pyramids, his right, everyone chooses and plans to get something of their own from the rest.

in general, Igor, if you are planning to return to Egypt in the fall, then it is better to postpone the excursions for later.
Or, you can handle the heat well.

Excursion to Giza is one of the most disappointing :(
In any weather!
If you have a great desire to put a tick - "I was at the pyramids" - go, of course. But one extra day on a beautiful beach is worth ten such excursions. Honestly, underwater corals are more beautiful than collective-farm species near the pyramids.
This, of course, is just my opinion. :)
