Itinerary
Pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by tour guide to start your tour . The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
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.
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.
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. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added on to the valley temple.
The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or just the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Facing directly from West to East, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the pharaoh Khafre. Cut from the bedrock, the original shape of the Sphinx has been restored with layers of blocks. It measures 73 m (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20 m (66 ft) high from the base to the top of the head and 19 m (62 ft) wide at its rear haunches. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and is commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of the pharaoh Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC). Tour Finishes with drop off at Customer Hotel in Cairo
The Giza Plateau (Arabic: هضبة الجيزة) is a limestone plateau in Giza, Egypt, the site of the Fourth Dynasty Giza pyramid complex, which includes the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers' village and an industrial complex. It forms the northernmost part of the 16,000 ha Pyramid Fields in the Western Desert edge of the Nile Valley that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Memphis and its Necropolis. The plateau is elevated approximately 60 meters above sea-level.

Our guide was Omair, excellent person, good attitude, explained everything with details answering all the questions we asked him and help with good photos. The agency communicated with us in time and were in constant communication
Hamad Abo Rakika it was a very cool and good explainer.. it was fantastic tour... very good experience with Mr. Ahmad.. his explanation skills are very good... enjoyed alot...thanks
It was hot on the day of the tour, but we were able to travel smoothly around Giza, Memphis and Saqqara, which was very comfortable. My guide Robert's explanation of the ruins was very interesting and gave me a better understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The site is obviously sensational, well maintained and well organized. However, it would not have had the same value without our guide Gabri, super attentive and considerate towards us, who told us a lot of things in perfect Italian.
We visited the pyramids with our guide Ahmed and the experience was amazing. He has a Spanish tenner, and his kindness and sympathy made for an unforgettable experience in the pyramids. He also took very good pictures. We would certainly repeat with Ahmed again. Thanks for everything.
The tour began with pickup at 9:00 a.m. The Farah guide took us for 3 hours to discover the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx. A fantastic experience!

Emo Tours is probably the best Cairo tour operator. We booked a Pyramids and King's Chamber tour. We were picked up by Abdul (best driver in Cairo for sure) and the fabulous Aladin, what a guide! We were on our 12th wedding anniversary, on 12/12/24 (married in UK 12/12/12 @12:12) we advised Aladin we needed to be in the Kings Chamber at 12:12, he made sure we got in there at that time, brilliant Guide! He was very Informative, respectful, he left us with the most amazing memories, thanks Aladin, and a huge thanks to the lovely Abdul. Anybody reading this, book these two for sure! Thank you, Nick and Barbara Wrexham UK xx
