An absolute must..
Absolutely loved this trip. We had been before but our children were much younger then and could not remember the Pyramids ... so we went back again!! Very hot day but totally worth it. Picked up from the hotel and taken to Hurgarda airport. Flight to Cairo airport where we were met by our guide Mr Falcon. We went to the Pyramids and I have to admit that it has changed so much, it is more organised with proper roads and no more rubbish around the place. The 'sellers' are vetted by the government so there is not so much pestering as they could lose their licence to trade at the pyramids. There are horse, camel and carriage rides available and this is going to be an additional cost. - $10pp. We did not do this as it was enough to walk around the site and see things up close. We walked around the outside of the massive Pyramids and went into 2 tombs and these were free but you can pay for entry into one of the other bigger pyramids. - $15pp It is very very hot and stuffy in the tombs so be prepared! We then went by bus to the Sphinx and learnt lots about that and got some fantastic pictures. Next was a buffet lunch, which we were all really ready for as most had not had anything to eat at all. We then went to the new Cairo museum and this was again an additional cost - about $30pp but an absolute must as it is fantastic. Really need about 3 days to see around the whole thing but we managed to see all of the Tutenkhamun treasures... and it gives us an excuse to come back to Cairo again in the future. Then we went for a small sail down the Nile - $10pp before returning to the airport for the return journey. Very long and hot day but so glad that we did it. Bit upset that we ended up paying so much extra money on top of what GetYourGuide charged so check that you have included everything into your tickets when booking the trip in the first place... but lessons learnt. Take snacks with you as you never know what time you will get to go for lunch as this is totally dependant on other members of the group and what they are doing and how long it takes them.

Awesome visit to the pyramids
We went with Rasha for a fantastic day in Cairo, visiting the piramids of Giza and the Great Egyptian Museum. It was an awesome experience worth every penny.

Spent most of the day in the airport and paid extra so many times
Booked on the 4am flight from Sharm. Problems from getting there. Wrong tickets were ordered through this company for the museum.. had to pay extra. Was dropped off at numerous places... felt pushed to purchase goods from so many different stores. Dropped back off at the airport at 3pm. Flight back to Sharm was at 10pm. Overall would have booked elsewhere if we had known. Spent a fortune and feel thoroughly ripped off.
Response from the operator: Dear Marika, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be when a day of travel does not go as planned. Regarding the additional payment, please note that any extra charges collected on the day were related to changes in the museum entry requirements and were not fees imposed by our company. Our team always aims to provide accurate information and support our guests throughout the tour. We also regret that the itinerary felt rushed and that your overall experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments have been shared with our operations team to help us review the day's arrangements and improve the experience for future guests. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for choosing FTS Travels. FTS Travels Quality Team

A good trip
Nour is a very experienced guide and the whole tour experience was very good. We especially enjoyed his kindness, caring thoughtful attitude, Especially his great sense of humour. He has given us wonderful day! Everyone should see the Pyramids once in their lives and the new Grand Egyptian Museum is simply stunning. We did get to visit the perfume shop and the papyrus shop but they were not hard sells and the coffee in the perfume shop was quite good. I have dealt with FTS before and this years experience was as good as last time and I’ll be using them again for future Egyptian tours.

Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $350 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 Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 275 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 Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum?
+
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 Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum?
+
Around 96 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharm to Cairo Air Tour: Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum 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.
