Itinerary
Arrive at the Giza Pyramids and start your tour. Head to the Panorama Point, the best spot for photos of all three pyramids. If you like, you can enjoy an optional camel ride for better views. Your guide will help you and explain prices clearly with no pressure.
After the panorama and camel ride, move to the central area between Khufu and Khafre pyramids. Walk closer to the pyramids and take great photos from inside the plateau. If you want to enter a pyramid, your guide will help you buy tickets and choose the best one.
Valley Temple of Khafre Head to the Valley Temple of Khafre. Explore the temple where mummification took place and learn simple stories from your guide.
Great Sphinx Next, head to the Great Sphinx. Get close for clear photos and enjoy a simple explanation from your guide. Take fun and creative photos at one of the most iconic spots in Egypt.
Final Stop (Drop-off + Optional Shop) After your visit to the Sphinx, make a short stop at a local shop for papyrus or souvenirs outside the pyramids area. There is no pressure to buy anything. It’s just to look and learn. After that, you will be dropped off at your pickup location.

Fantastic guide Mostapha Kamal. Extremely knowledgeable concerning Egyptian history. English is excellent. Restaurant selection was exceptional. Would not hesitate to tour with him again. 5 stars!!! A +++++
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled you had such a great experience and enjoyed the rich history and exceptional restaurant selection. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime! A+++++!
Mostapha was the most wonderful tour guide I have ever had! He was so kind and friendly,I j feel like I have a life long friend in him! His knowledge of the ancient monuments, the ancient Egyptians, their culture and their gods and goddesses was very extensive! He was unbelievably informative! He could answer any question I had! Even if it was about more recent history! And his command of the English language was very extensive! We never had a problem communicating! Our 3 hour drive to the pyramids was made very interesting... listening to his stories about the lifestyle and interests of his people today! He made my visit so worthwhile, if I return, I will insist on Mostapha helping me with my stay!
Thanks a lot, Mr. Jim for your kind words. that is was a special trip for me to wait to see you again.
