Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo Destination Reviews

AK
The trip took significantly longer than the indicated 5 hours. We spent two hours at the city checkpoint. While this is not an issue with the transport company, it would be helpful to provide advance notice about such delays and avoid presenting unrealistic travel times.

Small seats, dirty car, oberbooked (People seated on the floor ), to many stops to pick up People. Not service at all in 10 hs drive. No english speak for the bus staff.

Above expectation for a local bus. Obviously old and a bit run down. But the aircon worked and was a smooth journey and streamlined through all the stops. Said it would be 8 hours and ended up being 6 and a half. Vehicle had a bathroom but did not use it.
