Experience the largest museum of ancient Egyptian art with its treasures of Egypt’s great past, such as the high-quality tomb goods. Our tour guide will humorously explain the most important exhibits in a two-hour stay and answer your questions. Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! A total of three pyramids can be found here : the Chephren, the Cheops and the Mykerinos pyramid. You can discover the terrain on foot, horseback or on camel for yourself. After visiting the pyramids of Giza, you will head to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and most preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The sphinx was hewn from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Cheops pyramid. Felukenfahrt on the Nile. In consultation with the tour group for a fee.
You will be picked up from your hotel around 4am. Upon arrival in Cairo, your tour guide will meet you and accompany you throughout the tour. Meet your Egyptological tour guide at the museum to start your day. Visit the state-of-the-art Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the largest archaeological museum in the world with over 100,000 artifacts, or the Ancient Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. Select your preferred museum during the booking process. Afterwards, enjoy your lunch. The further course of the excursion will take you to the great pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. The pyramid tour ends at the Sphinx and the temple in its vicinity. If time permits, you will have the opportunity to drive to Cairo Bazaar at the end of the day before returning to Sharm el Sheikh. Upon arrival at the airport, you will be driven to your hotel in an air-conditioned car.
When returning from Cairo in the late evening, we will spend some time visiting medieval London (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, cafés and a giant dancing fountain, where you'll be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oils Factory. These two attractions will introduce you to ancient Egyptian techniques for making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits expand your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and are also helpful for the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very ancient handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

An excursion to the top!! Perfect care from start to finish , everything is well organized from morning to night. Nice surprise on arrival in Cairo; we had a French guide named Mahrous , who really made us have a great day , when booking we did not have the possibility to take a French guide c was Russian or Italian , it really pleased us on arrival🤗. As for the day , we loved the outing on the pyramids website, we went for a camel ride for 10€ per person c was nice , our guide knew how to take pictures of us in "key" places👌🤗 (the pyramids is what we liked best about this day )then a visit to a perfume store , nice welcome but we want to sell you essence of perfume , everyone will do as they want , the welcome was friendly at "tata Farida"🤗 we drank tea but everything is done to make you buy 😉 It’s 12:00 pm we have lunch break , you will have the right to a buffet , if you don’t eat meat (like me and my husband) don’t expect to eat fish because there are none , for drinks you have to pay (count 2€50 or 3€ per drink) know that throughout the day bottles of water are available in the private van that transports us . Then we continue in a store where we make the papyrus , we want to offer you to buy some, again everyone will do as he wants . The day will continue at the Egyptian Museum and will end with a short walk of about twenty minutes on the Nile (for those who wish; 10 € per person) and we finish this day with a return to the airport and a pick-up on arrival to take us back to our hotel. Thank you Book Tour Egypt for a wonderful day 🤗🤗🤗👌🐪

Great experience. It is a long day but it is very full so no real time to be tired. All comms before via whatapp. Its so easy. Pick up was easy. The airport flight out was easy and we got boarding passes for return too. Its a domestic flight so security is quick. There is a small cafe in the airport to grab a coffee or sandwich. The flight was fine and so was finding the guide outside the airport. We stopped at a shop where you could get coffee, snacks or breakfast. Not sure if all do this We got offered the nile boat ride next. The nile boat ride is 10€ extra per person but worth it. You have come all that way so why not go on the nile. The egypt museum was next and was busy but the guide was amazing and new so much. It is very much a whistlestop tour where you are shown key artifacts, given brief info and move on. Our guide said you would need a full week being there from open to close to see it all and he was right. There is so much so dont expect to spend too much time or stop too much. We then stopped at a papyrus demo. It is what it is, yes people may make a bit of comission but its interesting and for 20£ we took home a papyrus with our names in heirogliphs. Didnt have to buy anything and didnt feel pressured at all. We then went for lunch. A small cafe with buffet lunch and food was nice. Good selection of curry, kofta, pasta, salad, bread and veg. Drinks were 120LE extra for a can of soft drink. The pyramids. Dont really need to review them. They are amazing and all the info the guide gave was really interesting. We took our bus between stops so not huge amounts of walking. Stopped 4 times. In the pyramid complex to see everything. One stop was for a camel or carridge ride at 10€ per person extra. Again. Worth it for the experience but it was no pressure and you could explore the area while others did it if u didnt opt to do it. There is lots of stalls at the stop to buy gifts etc. Haggle and haggle hard. Did a stop at a perfume factory. Again it makes them a few quid which is fine. No hard sell. It did smell nice but 30£ for the 30ml, 40£ for 50ml and 90£ for 300ml it was pricy. They did have some offers for buying more than 1. We then got the option of either a shopping mall or a walk through old cairo. We all choose old cairo. Really interesting to be immersed in the culture and daily life. If a bit overwhelming as it was quick so we could fit it in. We had a very quick pit stop at mcdonalds before the airport. Flight back was fine. Spent next to no time in either airport it was seemless and guide was there at the door to take us home. It was a great day and I would highly reccommend it and book tour egypt. Do all the extras and enjoy them. The guide knew so much. No question was too difficult. He was funny and engaging throughout. Even whilst fasting for ramadan too. Thanks Ahmed. The driver was great too mohammed. God knows how he managed the traffic and roads in cairo but we were safe and secure and he got us there each time. Tips: Do your own evisa online. Its the same price. Print it at home then passport control stamp your passport on your arrival. Take copies of the evisa just to show. Alternatively the tour will sort them on the day but it does have an extra cost. I think its 25$ for the visa plus 5$ extra and those that didnt sort before had to wait a bit longer in the airport to sort the stamp. Dont take water. Its heavy to carry and you get given more than enough free on the bus. Dont take aerosols they will confiscate at the airport. Even small ones. Take a hat or buy a head scarf of a vendor at the pyramids. Dont pay more than 100LE the next person will sell it for less if they wont budge (but they will). Take some small snacks if you will need them. Its not always easy to grab something due to the tight timescales on the day. Carry things in a small bag but dont worry as the bus is secure and you can leave things on at stops. There are toilet stops throughout and all toilets were clean so no worries there. Overall. It really is a great trip and the company were great organising it all. Would 100% reccomend.

Wonderful day everything went to plan, our guide was amazing, so informative and funny. It was a truly amazing day, everybody in our mini bus agreed. Such a good experience. Tour of Cairo first followed by a river boat trip on the Nile. Then on to the Museum, which was amazing. Next we went to the pyramids and had a camel ride, it was fab .Spynx was next and then a trip to an essential oils factory. Such a good day, we loved it. Highly recommend.

We were tired after our wonderful day! The guide and drivers were amazing! We loved everything about our day! Maybe a little less time in the essential oils shop, but that’s only because I have enough essential oils. I can’t thank the guide enough for his hard work, there were eleven people in our group and I was the only English speaker and he took the time to translate after saying everything in Italian first. May I congratulate him for his kindness and understanding professionalism, especially during Ramadan! He must have been thirsty for speaking so much! I thank all concerned for our once in a lifetime experience! Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Difficile descrivere l'emozione nel vedere le Piramidi ma l'esperienza non sarebbe stata completa senza la visita del museo del Cairo. La competenza e simpatia di Khaled hanno reso questa giornata indimenticabile. Da fare almeno una volta nella vita.

A) Detail knowledge, presentation: Top!!! In the museum a photo tour without other tourists! B) Offers to purchase: Horse-drawn carriage rides, camel rides, papyrus shop ("Museum"), perfume shop. Very positive: That after a CLEAR no from us we were not pushed! C) Minus: After 3 pm, unfortunately, there was an idle for several hours until the departure at 19:50. We could easily have gone to Al Khalili Market. Therefore, unfortunately, only 4 out of 5. My tip: Insist on visiting Al Khalili Market es! That's also why here on TripAdvisor I rate "only" 4 ("very good") and not 5 ("sophisticated").

A) Thema Wissen und Präsentation: - Unser Reiseleiter Dr. Osman hat uns viel Interessantes erzählt, das auf fundiertes ägyptologisches Detailwissen schließen lässt. - Gleich zu Beginn machten wir die Nilkbootsfahrt. Fein! - Danach hat uns Dr. Osman schon am Morgen ins Ägyptische Museum gebracht, noch VOR dem großen Ansturm der Besucher. - Wir machten zuerst eine schnelle Extra-Runde durchs Museum zum Fotografieren ohne Besucher, und dann erst machten wir den Rundgang mit seinen Erklärungen durch die Räume. - Danach aßen wir zu Mittag und fuhren zu den Pyramiden. Das war Alles insgesamt eine sehr gute Entscheidung. B) Thema Einkauf: - In Ägypten ist es üblich, dass Geschäfte präsentiert werden und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten angeboten werden. Dies dient als wichtiges Einkommen, und auch Reiseleiter bekommen davon einen Anteil. - Sehr positiv ist daher aufgefallen, dass unser Reiseleiter uns zwar Kamelreiten und Pferdekutschen-Fahrten bei den Pyramiden angeboten hat, aber nach unserer klaren Ablehnung nicht weiter versucht hat, uns zu überreden. Das war für uns sehr wichtig, und gilt auch allgemein, da sich Touristen sonst bedrängt fühlen, was sehr unangenehm ist. - Wir wurden auch weder im Papyrus-Museum noch im Parfumgeschäft von den Verkäufern zum Kaufen gedrängt, allerdings nach einem freundlichen, aber klaren Nein von unserer Seite. C) Durchführung/Einhaltung des Programms: - Bis ca 15 Uhr war die Durchführung perfekt. - Obwohl wir (Kleingruppe von 4 Personen) nach Nilkreufahrt, Museum und Pyramiden schon müde waren, blieb von 15 Uhr an noch ca 5 Stunden Zeit bis zu unserem Flug um 19:50. Für den Markt Al Khalili wäre also noch Zeit gewesen. Leider wurden wir dann die ganze Zeit bis 17:30 durch die Gegend gefahren auf der Suche nach einem Kaffeehaus, schließlich fand der Fahrer eines (es war sicher nicht seine Schuld!). Einen Kaffee hätten wir aber auch auf dem Platz vor dem Al Khalilimarkt trinken und dort sitzen und ausruhen können. Hätte ich das im Voraus gewusst, dann hätte ich gegenüber dem Reiseleiter drauf bestanden, zum Al Khalili zu fahren. Das würde ich auch anderen Touristen raten. Dieser Organisationspunkt ist mein einziger Kritikpunkt, und ich würde das auch als Verbesserungsvorschlag an den Veranstalter weitergeben. Daher eürde ich "nur" 4 von 5 Punkten geben, doch zuvor war Alles in Ordnung, und daher doch: 5 Punkte. Der Tagesausflug ist es auf jeden Fall und ohne Zweifel wert, wenn man wenig Zeit für Kairo hat. Ein großes Danke nochmals an Dr. Osman und seinen französischen Kollegen, der auch sehr bemüht war.
