How to get to the pyramids of Egypt?

Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
If you have a rest in Sharm el-Sheikh or Hurghada, you can get to the most famous and highest pyramids of Egypt only as part of the excursion. The thing is that these ancient structures are located in Giza, the actual suburb of the country's capital, Cairo. It can be reached from these resorts by bus (to go 6-8 hours), by car with a driver (waybill) or by plane.

Those who rest in Cairo are much easier. They can call a taxi at any time and after half an hour to admire the pyramids. By the way, the way back on the same machine is always a little more expensive, about 10-15 pounds. If you need a cheaper option, use public transport. First on the metro, along the yellow line No. 2 to Giza station. Then by taxi or bus number 900 or 997.

Another way to get to Giza from Cairo (and the most comfortable, perhaps) is to take a bus No. 355 or 357 in the New Cairo area (it's Heliopolis, New Egypt). You can also sit in Tahrir Square if you succeed stop the car. Perhaps you have to go standing up. The interval between the flights is 20 minutes. The final stop at these buses, marked with letters STA, at the intersection before the entrance to the pyramids.
