Itinerary
Panoramic Viewpoint – Capture unforgettable photos of all three pyramids. Great Pyramid of Khufu – Explore the largest of the pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure – Learn the fascinating stories behind these monumental structures. The Great Sphinx – Witness the enigmatic half-human, half-lion statue guarding the plateau. The Valley Temple – Visit the ancient temple believed to be used for mummification rituals.
A stunning panoramic spot where you can see all three pyramids aligned — perfect for unforgettable photos.
Menkaure’s Pyramid, the smallest of the three main pyramids at Giza, may be modest in size but not in significance. Built for Pharaoh Menkaure, it reflects a more refined architectural style and once had a stunning granite casing at its base. Its proportions and elegance give it a unique charm, offering a beautiful contrast to the massive scale of the other pyramids. Standing before it, you can truly appreciate the craftsmanship and symbolic power of ancient Egyptian royalty.
Khafre’s Pyramid stands out with its preserved limestone cap and powerful presence. It’s slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid but appears taller due to its elevated base.
The Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids of Giza — and the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Built over 4,500 years ago using more than 2 million limestone blocks, it’s a masterpiece of engineering and ancient ambition. Standing at 146 meters when it was first completed, it held the record as the tallest human-made structure for over 3,800 years. A true marvel that leaves every visitor speechless.
The Valley Temple of Khafre is an ancient mortuary temple where the mummification process is believed to have taken place. Made of massive limestone and granite blocks, this well-preserved structure once connected to the Pyramid of Khafre and the Sphinx. Walking through its halls, you can almost feel the sacred rituals that took place here over 4,500 years ago.
The Great Sphinx of Giza, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, is one of the most iconic monuments in the world. Carved from a single block of limestone, it stands guard over the Giza Plateau. Thought to represent Pharaoh Khafre, the Sphinx symbolizes strength, wisdom, and royal power. Its mysterious expression and enormous size — 73 meters long — continue to fascinate visitors and scholars alike.
Enjoy a guided tour of the world’s largest archaeological museum. Marvel at the full collection of King Tutankhamun's treasures and thousands of other artifacts. Learn about Egypt's ancient history in a modern, immersive environment.

Waleed is a good tour guide. He explains a lot of information about pyramids and the museum. Ready to answer all of the questions and took a very good photo as well.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Egyptian Experience We had an absolutely fantastic experience visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The tour was very well organised, informative and enjoyable from beginning to end. A special thank-you to our wonderful tour guide, Halawani, who truly made the experience memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient and professional. His passion for Egyptian history was clear, and he brought the stories and history of the ancient Egyptians to life in such an interesting and engaging way. Halawani was also very attentive and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. He gave us plenty of time to explore, take photographs and enjoy the incredible sights without ever feeling rushed. He was always happy to answer our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. The Pyramids and Sphinx were breathtaking, and the Grand Egyptian Museum was equally impressive. Having such an excellent guide like Halawani made these incredible places even more special. Thank you so much, Halawani, for your kindness, knowledge and for making our day so enjoyable and unforgettable. You were an excellent guide, and we would highly recommend you to anyone visiting Cairo. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Halwani, was quite pleasant as a tour guide. Very knowledgable about the artefacts in the Grand Egyptian Museum. Leading and making what turned out to be better choices for us I.e seeing the Museum before the pyramids. So it was clearer when we got there as all the history then all joined together. He knew all the perfect spots to take pictures and took some for us. He sure made it worthwhile! 👍🏽 Real cool chap…
Everything great and our driver and guide (Salma) were great. We asked for a portuguese speaking guide and Salma speaks fluent portuguese. Really surprising
Why can you only rate it with 5 points? It is the first time in my life that I have had the feeling of having been guided by a friend. The complicity, closeness, dedication, and attention we received from Toha is something we have never received before; everything was perfect, a 10 out of 10. He and his driver were attentive and punctual. To see Cairo in a little over half a day, there is no plan that beats it, and we know that we will 100% recommend Toha to everyone who wants to come. Thank you for everything; I hope we meet again in the future.
Today with Toha has been very enriching, and we have enjoyed it a lot. He has taught us about Muslim, Egyptian, and Coptic culture in a very interesting way. We had a very complete and very comfortable tour with drinks, food, and an excellent driver. The experience is unbeatable! We will return, and we will return with Toha 🙂
Ahmed Elsawy has been a wonderful guide. I totally recommend booking tours with him. Super friendly and he is also very attentive to us. His explanations have been very useful and he has adapted to our needs. 100% recommended
This was an amazing day! Our private tour guide Waleed was the most professional, kind, knowledgeable and patient guide! He made this day so special. Everything visited in one day was easy and enjoyable. Loved it! Do this tour and cross your fingers you get Waleed! Thank you!!!!
Excellent guide 100% native Spanish speaker. Very friendly and he made us feel comfortable at all times. He made an itinerary for us according to our schedule and the places we wanted to see. Also, they took photos of my partner and me together, and we all had lunch together. Highly recommended for Spanish-speaking travelers in countries that we consider exotic.
Mohammed Galal was amazing! He was so kind and patient. Took us to see the most famous sites in Egypt, took us to get amazing Egyptian food, went to an oil store, jewelry bazaar, and an herb and tea shop where we were able to be buy all the things!!! He’s so knowledgeable about Egyptian culture and was very informative. He answered every question and provided us with a ton of interesting facts. All in all we had an amazing time and I would pick Mohammed for every single tour in when I come back to visit Cairo!
