How long does it take to travel from Sharm el-Sheikh to the pyramids?

The distance from Sharm el-Sheikh to the Pyramids of Giza is approximately 500 kilometers. Travel time directly depends on the transport you choose.

If you go by tour bus, the one-way trip will take from 6 to 8 hours. Departure from the hotel usually occurs around midnight to arrive at the complex's opening and avoid the daytime heat. The buses have comfortable seats, air conditioning, and rest stops are made, so you can even sleep on the way.

Much faster, but also significantly more expensive, is to get there by plane. The flight from Sharm el-Sheikh Airport to Cairo takes only about 1 hour. This type of excursion usually costs several times more than a bus tour.

We do not recommend going on your own just to see the pyramids. It is long and troublesome. It is much easier and cheaper to buy a ready-made excursion. You will find more useful tips and details about the trip in our guide: Trip to Cairo and the Pyramids from Sharm el-Sheikh.
