Highlights
  • Giza Plateau - Explore the Giza Pyramids, including the Great Pyramids of Giza: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Visit the Valley Temple, where priests mummified King Chephren, the owner of the second pyramid. This is also where you can get a close-up view of the Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and King Chephren’s head, standing by the vast funeral complex.
  • Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, but the site remains unexcavated.
  • Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex features a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple revealed several statues of Khafre, some of which were found in a well in the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.
  • Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple. The mortuary temple also contained several statues of Menkaure.
  • Great Sphinx - The Sphinx dates back to the reign of King Khafre. During the New Kingdom, Amenhotep II dedicated a new temple to Hauron-Haremakhet, which was later expanded by subsequent rulers.
  • Memphis and Sakkara - Visit Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, home to the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 B.C.
  • Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Located 27 km southwest of Cairo, Saqqara is home to the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser. This pyramid is a significant part of the evolution from the simple mastaba to the well-known pyramid form.
  • Pyramid of Unas - The Pyramid of Unas, built in the 24th century BC for Pharaoh Unas, is the smallest Old Kingdom pyramid. It is notable for the Pyramid Texts, spells for the king’s afterlife inscribed on the walls of its subterranean chambers. This tradition of funerary texts began with Unas’s pyramid and continued through the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
  • Pyramid of Teti - Located in Saqqara, the Pyramid of Teti is the final resting place of Pharaoh Teti. This impressive structure showcases the architectural prowess of the Old Kingdom and attracts visitors worldwide. Explore its chambers and corridors to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt.
  • Mastaba of Ti - The Mastaba of Ti is a significant archaeological site in Saqqara, discovered by Auguste Mariette. It contains two serdabs, and its walls depict various scenes of everyday life.

An unforgettable trip to Cairo - I was overwhelmed by Egypt's great civilization. I had also forgotten, but our guide Mona noticed it was my birthday when she looked at my passport and sent me a congratulatory message. After lunch, she prepared a birthday cake as a surprise and held a small party for me. It was an unforgettable trip to Cairo. Thank you Mona.

An essential guide to a complex history - Rawan our guide and Hamada our driver were brilliant. We started at Saqqara, which made a lot more sense (from a historical perspective) than starting in Giza, and in many ways it is the more interesting site. We learned a lot and everything was done at our pace (we are 69 &70) and with great humour. Definitely recommended.

Simply Excellent! - Both our guide and driver were excellent. Our guide Tonsi went out of his way to accommodate all our needs and requests. He made sure we didn’t miss a thing. He is very knowledgeable and personable. You are in good hands with him! Our driver Ahmed was equally personable and did everything possible to align with my mobility issues. It was a fabulous day and definitely a highlight for us.

Good in all aspects - I strongly recommend booking the Pyramids with Emo Tours. They were right on time in my hotel lobby and we visited all the sites described on the tour. It’s worth to mention that bottled water was offer during all the activities. We really enjoyed our time with the tour guide, Mr Osama, he was really nice explaining all the details on the archeological sites. He also helped us taking the best photographies (great photographer). In addition, the food included on “Valley of the Kings” restaurant was great. Through the tour we visited a bunch of stores: souvenirs, papyrus, rugs and perfume. I’ll recommend taking it slowly and bargain every price.

Be-very careful with your money and surrounding - This tour was memorable because we have been pushed by our tour operator to pay "TIPSI" to his hidden agents who suddenly come in front of us, sometime to take pictures or sometime to purchase few things or on 1 instance a shop owner who sells spices. These people knows where to take their guests and pushed them to take services from those agents you like it or not. I am still in shock and don't know if i should directly blame such agents as over all these people are suffering with poverty and instability in their country. If tourist like us shows our softer side then we get conned but if we show our straight face then we become rude and we get to hear statements in their arabic slang which only they can understand just because we walk away and says NO to their services. (highly in-hospitable). I had plans and may be i will carry-on with those plans to visit Luxor & Aswan sometime later this year but i will be more vigilant and carful with my money.

Disappointing - Our guide was Nasser. We had a communication gap because his level of English wasn’t sufficient. He gave us very basic information and didn’t have the enthusiasm/engagement of a good tour guide.
