The Giza Pyramid Complex, also called the Giza Necropolis, is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers village. The site is at the edges of the Western Desert, approximately 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 kilometres (8 mi) southwest of the city centre of Cairo.
Khufu's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found but the site has not been excavated.[4][5] The valley temple was connected to a causeway which was largely destroyed when the village was constructed.
Khafre's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860. Others were found during successive excavations by Sieglin (1909–10), Junker, Reisner,
Menkaure's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king's pyramid. The valley temple once contained several statues of Menkaure.

It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. Built in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani to a design by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the edifice is one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public. In 2021 the museum is due to be superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza
Khan el-Khalili is a famous bazaar and souq (or souk) in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt.

We spent the day with them and it was fantastic. Our guide “Hache” speaks perfect Spanish and the driver was always where you needed him. He has adapted to our needs at all times and has been very friendly and professional. Very pleasant explanations. In addition we have gone to eat at a typical place and visited markets and shops! It would have been impossible to make the most of the day on our own. Highly recommended!
We are a family of 5 with 3 young children. We had a lovely tour day to see Museum, Giza pyramids. Sayed Mahoud is our guide. He is knowledgeble and very honest man. He was trying to make the best of our day considered that we lost 3 hours due to flight delayed (we booked flight seperately with Egyptair). Sayed consulted us which activitivies we should do and how in our limited time to make the most of the day. Also he helped us to avoid local sale people at the sites and even get some love local food to eat while waiting at the airport. Definitely recommend! I'll book with Emo tour next time we come.
Terrible Terrible Terrible Tour started late , waited outside pyramids for over 2 hours, unbelievably terrible service
This time we toured the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and the museum. There is also a bit of shopping. The guide, Sayed Mahmoud, was very good at explaining things and although I am not very good at English, the explanations were easy to understand. I would recommend this tour to Japanese people whose English is not good. It was very blender! We had a lot of photos taken at the most photogenic spots. Lunch is buffet style and you can eat Egyptian food. I was able to eat well. Even though we only had one day to visit Giza, it was good that you showed us so much in an efficient way. Dear Sayed Mahmoud, Thank you for a fun day!
Dear our valued customer Thank you for writing this fantastic review and giving our dealership such an excellent star rating . It’s great to hear we were able to go above and beyond your expectations and provide you with a memorable experience . We look forward to seeing you again soon . Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt
We had a great time on our tour with Sayed Mahmoud, he is very knowledgeable & friendly, and took us to places we wanted to see & skipped some stops we had already seen on our request. We enjoyed our day on the tour.
Dear Valued Guest, In this time of gratitude, we give thanks for you. We value your patronage and appreciate your confidence in us. Counting you among our customers is something for which we are especially grateful. So On behalf of all of us at EMO TOURS EGYPT, We wish you a good day ,Thank you so much. Sincerely, EMO TOURS EGYPT
I do regret booking with EMO. They lack honesty, professionalism, punctuality, and good planning. They use their drivers as guides while I paid for a tour that includes an Egyptologist guide. The personnel that I was texting for details about the tour was writing very bad English that could be hardly understood and communication was very poor. I do not believe it is a company in the true sense of word that is why I could advise you with rest that you should never book wit EMO as it is just a waste of time and money.
Layover tour. Family. Parents, me and my brother. Sayed Mahmoud, our guide was amazing. He is very kind and took care of us. We had a layover of about 16hrs, and we did the Cairo tour in about 7 hrs. Sayed took us to the museum first which was a great idea (rather than going to the pyramids first) because of the air conditioning. Haha. He showed us around and knew all the best spots for group pictures. We stopped on the Nile bridge for a quick photo op. The the pyramids were really good. Sayed took us to the panoramic spot and the photos are just muaah. The best part is that Sayed handled it when we were stopped by an angry security guard at the pyramids. Police wasn't allowing our big camera zoom lens inside. Sayed made quick work of it and we didn't even had to come into the conversation. Over all a great day. I recommend Sayed 200%...... And he never pushed us to buy anything, rather handled the pestering hawkers. Guard + guide all in one. - Ashish and family.

It was great to be able to experience some of Egypt in our 11 hour layover. It is a busy place and would probably need a couple of days as to not make it so tiring
This was the best trip ever! I highly recommended! I’ll definitely return home. I’ve learned so much about my history. Tour guide ( Alaa el dien )
