“Oh my God — I don’t even know where to start! It was an incredible experience. I never thought I would enjoy this excursion so much. The journey itself was a bit tiring, I must admit. The bus was fine — not very modern, but decent enough. It was a bit old and the seats were somewhat uncomfortable. I’m not saying this as a complaint, just keep in mind that it takes about 6–7 hours to get from Hurghada to Cairo, so after 2–3 hours you really start to feel those seats. Other than that, I want to give a huge thank-you to Mostafa — the best guide I’ve had…”
