How long does it take to travel from Hurghada to the pyramids by bus?

The bus ride from Hurghada to the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo takes 7 to 9 hours one way. This is a rather tiring route, as the distance is about 470 kilometers. However, you should not be afraid: tour buses are usually comfortable, equipped with a toilet and air conditioning. Sanitary stops are made along the way so you can stretch your legs and have a snack.

Given that departure from the hotel is usually around midnight, you will spend most of the journey asleep. We advise you to bring a travel pillow and a warm sweater, as it can be cool in the desert at night and the air conditioning on the bus runs at full power. If you want to get there faster, there is a flight option — the trip takes only about an hour, but it will cost 5-6 times more.
