Exploring the Pyramids and the Sphinx felt like stepping into a time machine; the sheer scale of these ancient wonders left me in awe. The Egyptian Museum was another highlight, packed with artifacts that brought the rich history of Egypt to life, though the crowds made it a bit overwhelming at times. My guide shared fascinating stories, making the history engaging, but I did wish for a little more time at each site to soak in the atmosphere. The drive from Hurghada was long, but it offered glimpses of the desert landscape, which was a nice prelude to the day’s adventures. Overall, it was a memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to dive deep into Egypt’s heritage.

Our family had an incredible adventure exploring the pyramids and the Sphinx, with the Egyptian Museum as a highlight, although the long bus ride from Hurghada felt a bit taxing for the kids.

The long drive from my starting point was well worth it to see the magnificent structures and ancient artifacts. While the guide was knowledgeable, I felt a bit rushed at times, especially in the museum; I would have loved to linger longer among the exhibits.

The experience of standing in front of the pyramids was surreal and definitely a highlight of my day. However, the lengthy travel time from my starting point could be a bit draining, and I found the museum a bit crowded at times.
