Cairo Tour by Plane from Sharm 1 Day Excursion 



We had a wonderful day in Cairo. Visited with my daughter. Very well organised trip. Good to have a female guide as in Sharm there are few female staff and she was very good at keeping the 'hustlers' at bay for us. My daughter and I also felt very safe with someone who knew the city so well. She was very knowledgeable and kept us all amused andinterested.
Full day - lots to see - the Egyptian museum was brilliant and set the context for the visit to the pyramids. We were not so keen on the perfume 'factory' visit as we were a small group and none of us wanted to buy perfume. Therefore we all felt a little pressure, especially as they had provided us with tea and a 'chat',in what is apparently their home.
Also, the trip on the boat to lunch was not optional - there was an expectation that we all took this and it cost extra - if you are aware before, as we were, then this is no trouble, but two of the group were not and felt a little unhappy that they had to pay an extra 100 Egyptian pounds (£10)each - this needs to be made more clear. The lunch was worth it - lots of choice and plenty of it.
There was a camel/horse ride (choice of animal) at the pyramids - this cost extra and again we felt that we had little choice but to except- the view was worth the extra cost but beware that they will ask for further tips at the end - you just need to be clear if you do not want to pay more.
We had the use of a small bus and driver all day so there was not too much walking, the bus was waiting on time for us after the end of each sightseeing part - we were were able to keep any heavy items and jackets on the bus without needing to carry them all day.
Finally, remember that the guide stands outside of Cairo airport as they are not permitted in to the arrivals lounge as other trip representatives are - so don't get worried, like us, that there was no-one to meet you! Just walk on further and they will be there.
If you are going to Egypt then seriously consider this trip - it was worth the money.
