Stop 5

The further course of the excursion will take you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The pyramid tour ends at the Sphinx and the temple in its vicinity. Due to the convoy, the journey from Hurgha DA to Cairo (One Way ) can take between 6 and 8 hours, as all buses and cars must be driven with a police car for safety reasons.

Since all buses have to wait for the convoy leaving Cairo for Hurghada at the end of the day, you will make one or two of the following stops:
characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory.
These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences.
These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also help the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (While waiting for the convoy to return)
