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 capital. In Giza, you’ll enjoy a guided tour to explore the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids built for pharaohs Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. If comfortable, you can enter the pyramids on your own. After the tour, we’ll return to your hotel in Cairo, concluding this 3-hour activity.

Full-Day Tour (8 hours)

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 as mentioned in the half-day option. At lunchtime, we stop to enjoy a typical menu featuring grilled chicken kebabs, hummus, tahini, and Arabic bread, followed by dessert. After lunch, we’ll visit the Saqqara necropolis to see the pyramid of Pharaoh Zoser and the recently opened tomb of Chaty Mehu. Our final stop will be Memphis, where you can view the sculpture of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. The tour concludes back at your hotel after 8 hours.

Inside the Pyramids

If you’re comfortable with tight spaces, you can enter either the Khafre or Menkaure pyramids for 300 EGP, or the Great Pyramid of Cheops for 1500 EGP, which is highly recommended. Due to time constraints, visiting all three pyramids is not possible. Tickets are purchased on-site in cash and local currency.
