Highlights
- Pyramids of Giza - Meet your guide in the lobby of your hotel 9:00am heading to begin this half-day tour of the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx straight from your hotel in Cairo.
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 your camel for 25 minutes, your guide will help you to take photos.
Note: there is a possibility of entering any of the pyramids inside.
- Great Sphinx - Afterwards, continue on toward the Great Sphinx. The Sphinx has the head of a pharaoh with a lion’s body and dates back to the time of Chephren. This sphinx was made to guard the pyramids of King Chefren.
Next, visit the Valley Temple which belonged to the Pyramids of Chephren. The temple acted as a place for the purification and mummification process of the king before burial.
Then you will take your lunch with your guide and will be transferred back to your pickup location.

Pyramids and Sphinx - We visited the sphinx and pyramids with Ahmed. He was very knowledgeable, kind and warm and super organised. He also helped us with airport transfers to and from the airport. He was also very helpful with what to do on our own on our second day in Cairo. A great experience!

Enjoyable time with Ahmed to visit the pyramids and the sphnix! - We took the half day tour to visit the Pyramids and the Sphnix with camel ride.
We were fortunate to meet Ahmed in this tour and can in existe feel his passion when we met him. He’s knowledgeable on all things Egypt and the history about all these sites, the best spots of taking pictures. He took us to a local restaurant to taste local food and rice pudding which we enjoyed!
We had a great time with Ahmed and the overall arrangement of this half day tour is wonderful! This is highly recommended!

Fun experience - Mina was a really warm and personable guide. He was very communicative, and was also willing to be flexible (the day before, we asked to move the tour start time by an hour and he was totally game). Mina was super enthusiastic about helping you take the best pictures/videos to capture your memories. Although he wasn't a total history buff, we still learned a good amount about the history of the pyramids and the Sphinx, and he also pointed out details we wouldn't have noticed on our own, like the fossils embedded in the stone walls of the temple near the Sphinx. Overall, I recommend this experience!

Private tour of Cairo - We took a private tour with Hussein and Abdul which I would highly recommend. Egypt especially Cairo is a hard place to navigate and Hussein helped us every step of the way. His knowledge on Egyptology was incredible and the local restaurants and places he took us too made us feel that we really saw Cairo. Excellent service and experience.

Pyramids Tour - This is probably one of the best tour guide experiences I have had since I started traveling. The professionalism of Ahmed and his knowledge about the history of the country and ancient Egypt was really amazing. Ahmed went to great efforts to make sure we enjoyed our experience, this included taking some of the best photographs. He knew exactly the right spots to take the best pictures as well and it came out perfect. The camel ride was also amazing, but the ATV experience was probably the best I have had. One important thing I wanted to highlight was Ahmed’s honesty. I left my phone in the car for hours and I was having difficulties finding the exact location, but once I contacted Ahmed and Bibo (the driver), they were able to find it and deliver it to me expeditiously. I would definitely recommend this experience with Ahmad.

Amazing day - We had an amazing day. The order of the activities was perfect organized. Almost no tourists on the spots. Service of the tours was excellent. From keeping the door open to give little snacks. We also learned a lot from the history. The guide is very knowledgeable and knew all the answers to the question. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Great tour, great value! - The tour was excellent value for money. I felt very safe and taken care of as a solo female traveler in Egypt for my first time. He really knows his stuff and explained things in great detail. He also took some great photos for Instagram memores! The driver was awesome too! I recommend!
