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 (12.4 mi) from the Egyptian capital.

Once in Giza, you’ll enjoy a guided tour to explore the Great Sphinx of Giza and the three iconic pyramids: Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. If comfortable, you may enter the pyramids independently. After visiting the pyramids, we’ll return to your hotel in Cairo, concluding the 3-hour activity.

Full-Day Tour (8 hours)

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and proceed to Giza for the same guided tour of the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids.

At lunchtime, we stop for a typical menu, including grilled chicken kebabs, vegetables, hummus, tahini, Arabic bread, sweet pastries, and fruit salad. Afterward, we’ll visit the Saqqara necropolis, where you can see Pharaoh Zoser's pyramid.

In Saqqara, we will also visit the tomb of Chaty Mehu, recently opened to the public, featuring well-preserved hieroglyphs. Our final stop will be Memphis, the old capital of Egypt, showcasing the sculpture of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphynx. The tour ends back at your hotel after 8 hours.

Inside the Pyramids

If you’re brave enough, you can choose to go inside the pyramids. You can visit the Khafre or Menkaure pyramids for 300EGP each, or the Great Pyramid of Cheops for 1500EGP, which is highly recommended. Due to time constraints, visiting all three pyramids isn’t possible. Tickets must be purchased on-site, in cash, and local currency.
