Itinerary
Begin this half-day tour of the Pyramids of Giza straight from your hotel in Cairo by meeting your guide in the lobby. Head toward the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus and discover the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Egyptologists believe the Pyramid of Cheops (also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza) was built as a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khofo and constructed over a 14 to 20-year period in 2560 BC. During the tour you will ride a camel for 25 minutes and your guide will help you to take some photos of your trip.
Experience the breathtaking panoramic view of the Pyramids, where the majestic trio of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure stands proudly against the desert backdrop. This vantage point offers a perfect opportunity to admire the grandeur of these ancient wonders together, capturing the essence of the Giza Plateau in its entirety. The panoramic spot is ideal for photography, providing a stunning perspective of the pyramids aligned in harmony with the vast surrounding landscape. As you take in the view, your guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights, making this moment an unforgettable highlight of your visit to Egypt.
The Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of King Khafre are two of Egypt’s most iconic and mysterious landmarks. The Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, is believed to represent King Khafre himself, standing guard over the Giza Plateau. It is one of the largest and oldest statues in the world, measuring 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height. Nearby, the Valley Temple of Khafre, a stunning example of ancient Egyptian architecture, was once used for royal funerary rituals. Its massive limestone blocks and well-preserved statues provide a glimpse into the grandeur of the Old Kingdom. Together, these sites offer a fascinating insight into Egypt’s ancient religious and architectural legacy.
later, visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization. Although the main museum is currently closed, you'll still have the opportunity to explore its impressive open court, home to the world’s first hanging obelisk, commissioned by King Ramses II. Continue your journey through the museum’s courtyard, where you’ll encounter the stunning Statue of Ramses II, carved from a single block of red granite. As you stroll through, admire the other colossal statues that line the courtyard, each showcasing Egypt’s artistic grandeur. Before finishing your visit, take time to explore the museum’s official store and nearby local restaurants and coffee shops for a complete

We had a wonderful experience at the pyramids of Giza and the new Grand Egyptian Museum with Ahmed. He is very knowledgeable and did a great job focusing on the areas we wanted to see. I would highly recommend a tour with Ahmed.
"It was an absolute blast exploring the city with you! Cairo certainly has its own rhythm, and I’m happy I could help you see the best of it without the stress. Thanks for being such a curious and kind guest!"

Our tour with Ahmed was nice to say the least. When we first arrived at the Pyramids and knowing I had already paid for entry into the Pyramids out guide told us there is nothing in there so it's not worth visiting and as unseasoned travelers we just went on the advise of our guide which was costly. He only wanted to short the experience to take you to His friends stores to spend money and get a small commission, then he wanted to take us to a Bazar to look at Jewelry, we refused this offer because now we understand he was only looking out for himself. The Lunch was a buffet that was just so so... Then museum which we truly loved exploring on our own... So if you want to waste your time and money they by all means book this tour and you will have an exceptional time.
Hi there Well I want to clarify everything here So it's very clear in our excluded that the entry fees to go inside the great pyramid was not included so before the tour starts you must check out the included and excluded to avoid any confusion.... The guide explained to the client that it's nothing to see inside the burial chamber of the great pyramid just empty coffin so what's the problem??? This is the truth and the guide told our client that you must purchase extra tickets to go inside as it's written in the excluded!!!!!! The guide didn't obliged the client to go anywhere so he suggested to show the client the papyrus museum and the client agreed so what is the problem!!!! So he took his opinion first...... The client stayed in the pyramids area more than 3 hours so the guide didn't made the visit short ???? Normally the visitors take like 2 hours there ....... The client liked very much the restaurant in open buffet and he said especially the meat was delicious!!!! And in the review he Said the restaurant was so so ????? The client expressed his satisfaction about the services during the day tour and after the day tour finished we shocked about this feedback????? This is our first time for any of our clients have any confusion between included and excluded points....... We are number 10 in the rankings of Cairo lists tours and we have over 200 of excellent reviews on viator..... We work always very hard to meet our clients expectations so we would love to welcoming to anyone of our visitors to the land of Pharaohs... Thanks for everyone he trusted us before
We had a wonderful time exploring Giza with our guide Ahmed and driver Mostafa. Ahmed was recommended by a friend and truly exceeded our expectations. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egypt’s history, bringing every site to life, especially the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. What really stood out was how flexible Ahmed was. He adjusted the itinerary to suit our preferences and pace, which made the day feel relaxed and personalized. Mostafa was an excellent, safe driver who made the journey smooth and comfortable. We felt very well taken care of from start to finish, and even got to visit a few hidden gems thanks to Ahmed’s local insight. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Cairo or Giza!

One of best trips of my life. Ahmed and driver picked us up from hotel and explained all the sites in the museum so you know what you are looking at. He arranged tickets to save time, camel ride was so much fun. Cairo is not very pedestrian friendly so do yourself a favor and get Ahmed to make your trip absolutely fantastic. I’m writing this in August so they you can book him now for Jan or Feb when I was there - great weather and not as crowded.

Our tour to the Grand Egyptian Museum was amazing! The permits, camel ride, and lunch were all well-organized. Ahmed was knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts. The AC van and water bottles were thoughtful touches. We were all very satisfied with the best services provided.

We finally got to see the Grand Egyptian Museum. So many jaw dropping artifacts, especially those from Tutankhamun's collections. Other spots like Sphinx, Giza pyramids? Just wow. Would 100% recommend this to everyone who is visiting Egypt.
