Sharm sits about five hundred road kilometres from Cairo. By air that is under an hour and the day is long but manageable; by bus it is six hours or more each way, which means leaving in the middle of the night and getting back after dark. Petra goes the other direction, across the Gulf of Aqaba by ferry. Both are among the most rewarding and the most exhausting things you can book here.

Check availability →The pyramids are the same on every tour; the day around them is not. The bus tours are listed from one full day up to 22 hours and start at €58 and €81. The plane tours start at €275 and run from 10 to 18 hours in the listings. A private day trip by air starts at €334.
The cheaper bus days are cheap for a reason: most of the time goes on the road. If that sounds like too much, the two-day bus tour from €221 spreads the drive out with a night in an apartment overlooking the pyramids. It has only a handful of reviews so far, so read them before you decide.
Flight tours buy the hours back. Several combine the pyramids with a museum, the Khan El Khalili bazaar, a camel ride and lunch, and one is bookable as a private or a group tour. The listed lengths differ a lot even for similar tours, so ask when the pickup is and when you are back at the hotel.
Petra is a separate decision: a 22-hour day with a ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba, from €218. Whatever you choose, compare review score and count, not only the price. The 22-hour bus tour from €58 is rated well below the one-day bus tour from €81.
Good to know: The free Sinai-only entry stamp that many arrivals receive at Sharm airport covers the South Sinai resorts – not mainland Egypt. For Cairo you need a full Egyptian visa, and for Petra a Jordanian entry. Sort that out before you book the trip, not at the check-in desk.
Good to know
Several listings say you visit the Grand Egyptian Museum or the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, so the choice is not always yours. If the Tutankhamun collection is the reason you are going, ask the provider which museum is on your date before you book and have the answer confirmed.
Mostly because of how you travel. The bus tours start at €58 and €81, the plane tours at €275, and private ones cost more. The cheaper bus days spend most of the time on the road, while the flight tours cover similar sights in fewer hours. Check what is included, such as lunch, tickets and the guide.
It is offered that way: the ferry tour is listed at 22 hours, from €218. It means a very long day plus Jordanian entry formalities. It suits people who cope well with early starts; if that is not you, Cairo by plane is the shorter outing.
