Tour Options

When making your reservation, you can choose from the following options:

Half-Day Tour (3 hours)

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and head to Giza, located about 20 km from the Egyptian capital. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy a guided tour to explore the Great Sphinx and the three largest pyramids built for pharaohs Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. If you're comfortable in enclosed spaces, you’ll have the option to enter the pyramids. After the visit, we’ll return to your hotel, concluding this 3-hour activity.

Full-Day Tour (8 hours)

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and head to Giza for the same guided tour of the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids. Lunchtime includes a typical menu featuring grilled chicken kebabs, vegetables, hummus, tahini, and Arabic bread, followed by pastries and fruit salad. In the afternoon, we’ll visit the Saqqara necropolis, home to the pyramid of Pharaoh Zoser and the recently opened tomb of Chaty Mehu. Our final stop will be Memphis, where you can see the sculpture of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. The tour concludes back at your hotel after 8 hours.
