  • 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.

  • Pyramid of Menkaure - Menkaure’s pyramid complex features 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.

  • Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex includes 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.

  • Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Located just 27 km southwest of Cairo, visit 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.

This piece features intricate detailing and a striking design, adding a touch of ancient Egyptian elegance to any room. Crafted from quality materials, it is perfect for any collector or history enthusiast. Bring a piece of ancient history into your home with the Pyramid of Unas.

Explore its chambers and corridors to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt and immerse yourself in its rich history.

A fantastic trip filled with facts, fun and comfort! - I was in Cairo for an overnight stay with my 2 teenage chuldren and wanted to see as much as possible. We decided to book a private tour guide and I am so glad we found this one! Our tour guide Heba and driver Hamdi picked us up on time as agreed from our Air BnB, in a modern air conditioned vehicle. They were so accommodating right from the start. A breakfast stop was not included, but because it was an early start I asked if it was possible and they immediately took us to a cafe so we could purchase something to eat first. They then took us to Giza to see the pyramids. Heba was so knowledgeable and shared the history of these majestic buildings. She was also open to discussing theories with my children on how and why the pyramids were built, which made the trip really fun for them too. We then stopped to see the Sphinx, where Hamid took some fun photos of us. We also visited Memphis and Saqqara. Both equally mesmerising places I would recommend everyone to see. Heba was really patient with all my questions and ensured I got to see and understand everything. Hamid was equally helpful ensuring we were well watered and even let the children stay in the vehicle for one of the trips as they were hot and tired, while I went with Heba. This made the trip relaxing and stress free for all of us. There are some stops at a papyrus, cotton, carpet and perfume shop. But there is no pressure to buy anything, and on the plus side, you get to see a demonstration of how these are all made and you get free refreshments so not something you should get annoyed at. Hamid and Heba also made sure we got great family photos and knew all the best places amd angles to take these from! All in all, we had such a fun packed day, and made memories that will last forever. Thank you to both Heba and Hamid.

Great tour a must! - This was a great tour and is a definite must when in Cairo. Abdullah our driver was excellent and kept us safe in the crazy Cairo traffic. Our tour guide Mohammed was even better and was a highly knowledgeable Egyptologist. It was a great all in one tour. If you don't want to buy things along the way just say no thank you. My only wish is to have stayed at the pyramids just a tad bit longer. The lunch was just okay, but was better than nothing. Still a great tour with a great driver and guide!

The Best Egypt Tour - Our guide Sayed Amin was incredible! Very knowledgeable and a great storyteller. Provided us with the option for add ons such as camel rides and shopping, but didn't pressure us to do any of it. Very friendly and answered all of our questions. Our driver Tohamy was very great as well and the car was as extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Best of Cairo & Luxor with Emo tours - We booked Emo tours at both Cairo and Luxor - at Cairo our Guide Ahmed along with driver Mohamed were excellent, knowledgeable in thoroughly covering the Pyramids at Giza, Saqqara, Egyptian museum and taking great quality pictures. At Luxor, our guide Mustafa and driver Hammato were excellent, knowledgeable in thoroughly covering Karnak, Luxor temples, the tombs at Valley of kings and Hatshepsut temple and taking great quality pictures. Mustafa is also fluent in French. We highly recommend Ahmed/Mohamed @ Emo Cairo and Mustafa/Hammato @ Emo Luxor to Have a great experience and wonderful pictures.

Hire your own private driver, do not use this tour guide service! - Over half of the trip was the tour guide taking us to places blatantly trying to sell us stuff, like to a "carpet school," "papyrus museum," "oils and spices stores," etc. where you'll get a 5 minute demonstration followed by, in some cases, very pushy owners trying to make you buy things. Conveniently none of these places were listed on the itinerary. However, the tour guide and driver were very nice and knowledgeable about the pyramids and history, so that's a positive. In hindsight, hiring a driver for the day to see things for ourselves and skip the obvious traps would have been better. Or ask to skip these places and just do the sites listed.

Extremely disappointing - This was a private tour, and I would not recommend it. Our guide, Rana, seemed to be a very sweet person, but her English and communication skills limited her to formulaic presentations. These were repetitive and hard to follow because of her poor pronunciation, and she frequently misunderstood our questions and comments. (Sadly, our driver often understood us better than she did.) In fact, trying to follow her speech was exhausting. Overall, there was clearer, more coherent information about each site in Viator's summary of the visit. We were told by the company that we could have some direction over how our time was spent so that we could focus on what especially interested us. However, Rana was unfamiliar with the one tomb at Saqqara that I particularly wanted to see, and when presented with the Wikipedia entry, said that the tomb was somewhere else. After consulting with the driver, she took us to a tomb with a similar name. This felt genuinely dishonest. The tour was rushed and eventually shortened, presumably because we didn't want to visit a "papyrus museum." Much time was wasted because Rana insisted on taking our photos in front of monuments. This was not our objective (we wanted to better understand what we were seeing). We tried to refuse, but the activity seemed unavoidable. I had hoped that in booking a private tour, we'd have a more personalized experience. In the end, we were relieved when the tour ended and we were returned to our hotel. A car and driver would have been a much better option.
