What is better: to go to the pyramids from Hurghada or from Sharm el-Sheikh?

If you are faced with a choice of which resort to go to the Pyramids from, the answer is clear: from Hurghada. It is closer and, as a result, cheaper and less tiring.

Here is a comparison by key parameters:

• Distance: From Hurghada to Giza is about 470 km, from Sharm el-Sheikh — about 550 km.
• Travel time: From Hurghada by bus it takes 7-9 hours, from Sharm — 8-10 hours. The difference of 1-2 hours one way is significant, considering that you have to travel at night.
• Cost: Excursions from Hurghada are traditionally cheaper due to the shorter distance and lower competition among tour operators.
• Fatigue: The road from Sharm is longer and more tiring, which can spoil the impression of the pyramids themselves.

Of course, there are also excursions from Sharm, including by plane, but the ground option from Hurghada is optimal in terms of price/quality/time.
