Hurghada: Cairo Day Trip by Flight, Pyramids, sphinx & Museum

About one hour. Sometimes a little less. It's a short domestic flight, nothing scary. By the time you get comfortable, you're already landing.

The bus tour takes about 5–6 hours each way on the road. This one takes one hour each way in the air. You leave later, come back earlier, and you're not nearly as exhausted. The main difference is price — flying costs more. Whether it's worth it depends on how much you value your time and comfort.

Light clothes, comfortable walking shoes (sneakers are perfect), a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. The Pyramids area has almost no shade.
