Cairo & Pyramids Essential FAQ (2026 Edition)
How long is the transfer from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo in 2026?
With the completion of the New Tunnel Road, the drive now takes approximately 5 to 6 hours. At Fares Tours, we utilize the latest VIP A/C vehicles to ensure this Sinai-to-Cairo transit is the fastest and most comfortable available for land travel.
Do I need a Full Egypt Visa for a Cairo trip from Sharm?
Yes. The "Sinai Only" stamp is not valid for Cairo. You must have a Full Egypt Tourist Visa ($25). 2026 update: You can obtain this easily via the Official E-Visa portal before arrival, or we can assist you with the Visa-on-Arrival process at the airport or border point.
What is included in the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) tour now?
Unlike previous years, the GEM is now fully open. Our tour includes the Tutankhamun Galleries (displaying all 5,000+ treasures together for the first time), the Grand Staircase, and the Khufu Solar Boat Museum. Your Fares Tours guide provides expert narration through all 12 main galleries.
Can I enter the interior of the Great Pyramid?
Yes, entry to the Great Pyramid of Khufu is available with a separate ticket. In 2026, daily capacity is strictly monitored; we recommend pre-booking this through us or arriving early. Your private guide will manage the logistics to ensure you don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
2026 Pro Tip:
The Grand Egyptian Museum now uses digital-only ticketing for many sections. Booking a private tour with Fares Tours ensures all your entry QR codes are ready and verified before you even arrive at the gate.
The gold standard for Egypt travel. Daytime temperatures (18°C – 28°C) are perfect for the Valley of the Kings.
2026 Alert: In March 2026, Ramadan will likely begin. At Fares Tours, we adjust our schedules so you still experience full site access while enjoying the festive evening Iftar atmosphere.
