Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world. The museum displays an extensive collection spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era. The architect of the building was selected through an international competition in 1895, which was the first of its kind and was won by the French architect, Marcel Dourgnon. The museum was inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II, and has become a historic landmark in downtown Cairo, and home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces.

The Pyramids Of Giza
Great Pyramid of Giza, also called Great Pyramid and Great Pyramid of Khufu, ancient Egyptian pyramid that is the largest of the three Pyramids of Giza. It was built to honor Khufu, the second king of Egypt’s 4th dynasty, and was completed about 2560 BCE. The Great Pyramid is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing today. As perhaps the largest single building ever constructed, it is a wonder mainly because of its scale and because of the incredible precision with which the work was executed. It is assumed to be the burial place of Khufu, but only an empty sarcophagus has been found inside. The pyramid originally stood about 482 feet (147 meters) high with four equal sides each measuring about 755 feet (230 meters). The giant, stepped sides were originally covered with highly polished limestone casing stones. When in place, these stones, weighing some 15 tons apiece and slotted together with unerring accuracy, would have lent sheen to the structure in the sun.

Absolutely outstanding - Highly recommended
Absolutely superb trip from start to finish , the tour guides on the coach were very well organised , helpful & friendly & it wasn’t information overload The coach was comfortable, air conditioned The local tour guide was exceptional , funny , informative, friendly, knowledgeable We felt no trip to Egypt was complete without a trip to Cairo & we are extremely pleased we took this trip The before & after service was also brilliant, communication via WhatsApp - excellent customer service The only thing I would say is be sure to take cash for any extras such as Nile trip, as credit cards are not accepted at present

The guides were nice, and...
The guides were nice, and the trip went very smoothly. The museum and pyramids were beautiful. Guide Karim was very kind, and we were well fed. The McDonald’s stop on the bus was the cherry on top — tasty and time-efficient. However, instead of stopping at the perfume and papyrus shops, we could have spent more time at the pyramids. We only had one hour there and didn’t have much time to explore all three. Also, the Italian guide was more talkative than the English one, so we heard more interesting facts from him during the bus ride.
Response from the operator: Cairo it one of our main excursions,,wishing to join us in more excursions

Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus take?
+
Plan for about 21 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 21-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 21-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to Cairo From Sharm El-Sheikh by Bus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
