Highlights
- Pyramids of Giza - Meet your Egyptologist guide at your hotel in Cairo or Giza around 7 or 8 am (pickup time is flexible). From there, you’ll drive to the UNESCO-listed Giza Pyramid complex. You’ll explore the three large pyramids built for the kings, as well as the smaller pyramids that served as tombs for the queens.
- Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - For an additional fee, you can climb inside the Great Pyramid of King Khufu to visit the burial chamber and see the granite sarcophagus (tickets available on-site).
- Great Sphinx - Next, we’ll walk around the Great Pyramid to visit the tombs of the nobles and the queens’ pyramids from King Khufu’s family. We’ll then drive to a spot perfect for photos and panoramic views of all the pyramids, with an opportunity for a camel ride around the area. Finally, we’ll head to the Sphinx, which showcases the power of King Khufu, and enter the valley temple where the king’s body was mummified.
- Saqqara - We’ll drive to Saqqara to see the Saqqara Pyramids, considered the oldest pyramids in Egypt. The stunning reliefs in the tombs of the nobles will leave you in awe.
- Step Pyramid of Djoser - We’ll stop to walk around the first pyramid ever built, the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, dating back to around 2650 BC. For an extra charge, you can enter the Step Pyramid (tickets available on-site).

Lovely trip with amazing history of Egypt - I chose Pyramids Trip to organize our trip to Egypt due to easy communication and quick response to our requests. We organized a trip to Cairo for 4 days and visited the most important landmarks of Cairo, and we also visited areas that are difficult to reach on our own. Mahmoud Al-Murshid was excellent and spoke fluently with an easy and interesting explanation of Egyptian antiquities, especially the pyramids of Giza. We spent an enjoyable time there and visited the tombs of the workers and engineers who built the pyramids of Giza. We also thank the driver and all the team, and do not forget Ali, who arranged everything for the trip.
