After visiting the Pyramids of Giza, visit the Great Sphinx, by far the largest surviving sphinx. It consists of a human head on the body of a lion. The Sphinx was carved from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Felucca cruise on the Nile is available for a fee.
Around 4am you will be picked up from your hotel. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be met by your guide who will accompany you throughout the tour.
Meet your Egyptology tour guide at the museum to begin your day. Visit the state-of-the-art Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the world's largest archaeological museum with over 100,000 artifacts, or the Ancient Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Select your preferred museum during the booking process.

The further course of the excursion takes you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The tour of the pyramids ends at the Sphinx and the temple surrounding it. At the end of the day, if time permits, you will have the opportunity to go shopping before embarking on the return journey to Hurghada.
If the return flight from Cairo is late in the evening, we will spend some time visiting the London of the Middle Ages (Khan el Klalili market), Old Cairo, recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, or Cairo Festival City, an extra-large shopping mall (air-conditioned), one of the largest in the Middle East. Full of the most famous international brands, restaurants, cafes and a huge colorful dancing fountain, where you will be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be transferred to your hotel in an air-conditioned car.
If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also be helpful to the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
Afterwards, your mind needs some rest. You can, for example, relax with a boat trip on the Nile and discover Cairo from the water.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Was great and well coordinated. Received all flight information and logistics in more than enough time. It is a long day, but there is also a lot to see. It is also hot but I mean its Egypt. A lot of walking but an AMAZING experience.

Beautiful trip, fantastic guide (nickname the cobra) led us as well as to the usual sites, museum pyramids, restaurant, and market) to descend into a pyramid of a queen where tunnel and staircase were wider and less suffocated than cheops which has a considerable cost. Everything perfect, guide, driver, lunch, various markets but WARNING!!.... Schedules are unclear... The indicated time (06 am) is not the pick up time at the resort but of the resort but of the TAKEOFF OF THE PLANE, SO at 5 you will have to be at the airport and they will pick you up at 3.45 am!.... Fatigue (at the pyramids in October were 35 degrees....) but we sixty-somethings there we did it.... There you will do it too to live a unique experience!!! Good trip!!

Long day but worth every minute. From pick up to return everything was as expected. Ahmed our guide was extremely knowledgeable, funny and engaging. His tour was excellent and he ensured we got everything out of our visit to Cairo and the pyramids. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to hit the highlights of the pyramids and Cairo in one day.

Fahmi was a great guide and so helpful. We saw the pyramids and the best places to take a picture. I appreciated that we were a small group!

Hello, the trip was overall very nice. The tour guide and driver were fantastic – high praise for that! What did not go quite smoothly, however, was the return journey. At the airport in Cairo, our group was completely on its own, which caused some uncertainty. The transfer back to the hotel was also in need of improvement: Only after several phone calls were we picked up, which created a Waiting time of about 45 minutes. Apart from that, however, it was a successful and beautiful trip. Sincerely, S.B.

It was an all-round successful excursion, our guide Achmet has responded to all wishes. He also showed us old cairo and supported us in buying souvenirs. In addition, we were picked up from the airport and taken back there. We would do the tour again anytime.

From our hotel it was a very smooth and easy process as we were picked up from the hotel to the airport and back after the trip. Once we landed at the airport we was greeted by fahme which was our tour guide. Very friendly and funny character who made a conscious effort to make the experience the best he could. He gave us a lot of factual history of Egypt and Cairo from the city of the dead the live count of people in Egypt and many more. The journey was about half an hour from the airport to the pyramids as we booked for Friday. Once we got to the pyramids we were offered two additional experiences which were the Nile cruise and camel ride with a view of all the pyramids which was very good. As expected we tipped a long the way which was fine. Our guide told us other than the camel rides don’t tip in the pyramids which was helpful. Mahmood was helpful to stop beggars from getting money from our group. We spent a good enough amount of time at the pyramids, roughly 3 hours and going into the tombs. Wouldn’t advise if you are claustrophobic as it did get hot and crowded and someone got stuck on their way out which just added a little bit of stress not the guides fault at all. Fahme and mahmood made an effort to get some nice photos of us and funny ones which was great. After the tour we went to a few extra places. 1 was a fragrance store where we could get out of the sun and relax for a bit, if you wanted to buy fragrances you could however if not it was nice to just rest for a bit. Next we went to lunch which was air conditioned and had a view of the pyramids as mentioned. Food was all included however drinks were additional cost. Food was nice and a variety was offered from different meats to rices deserts etc. After lunch we went to another store which sold hieroglyphics which was pretty cool. We then went to the museum after that . Museum was 50/50 a few items had been removed to put into the new museum opening in November so there were a few empty boxes. The only other critic was we couldn’t spend enough time to look around the history and taken in the information there. After this we went to the river Nile and had a nice relaxing boat cruise through the Nile. We had some time left over so we was able to go to get some food and chill for a bit before being taken back to the airport for our flight back. Overall amazing experience other than the museum.
