oldbag Member # 9889	posted Anyone know how much a car from Hurghada to Cairo would cost and how long it might take? Would it be necessary for a foreigner to travel in a convoy (travelling with egyptian companion). Thanks.
Samia Member # 4691	posted hi OB..... Not sure about the cost.... I last did it 4 years ago.... we tried to go without a convoy and got turned back, just after El Gouna!!! So... yes, a convoy is necessary. Why not just go on the coach? it's 60 le and you don't have the stress of driving around cairo!
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Samia, I hope the sitation looks differently when you are a foreigner but residing in Egypt. I mean people travelling both ways, they should not have any problems (we intend to do the same if we move back).
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted I went with the Superjet three years ago the same way, it was okay, very cheap, the bus was on time but I remember the toilet being a nightmare (both ways!).

OB.... if you go with El Gouna buses on their first class, chances are you'll get a toilet..... skanky with no paper, but a toilet!! We just came back from Dahab on a 14 hour journey with no yoilet, but the bus did loads of stops!

Im travilling with my egyptian (at that time husband ) and 2 children. How long time will that take on a 1 class El Gouna buss??? (what is a coach????)
imagine Member # 11591	posted søde tag bussen...Det er billigt og busserne er faktisk rigtig fine.. aircondition og mad!! jeg brugte ikke toilettet så ved ikke hvor slemt det er... det er en dejlig tur med film i bussen på ca. 5 timer.. husk at i skal købe billetten dagen før for at være sikker på at få en plads..

more tea vicar? Member # 9824	posted we went superjet from Hurghada to cairo it took 6 hours, smelly toilets but lots of wee wee stops. It was cheap A/C and clean. The only thing you have to suffer an egyptian movie. % hours of screaming.........fighting........shouting!! take good ear plugs, wet wipes, and a pillow
