Overview

On this private Cairo day tour, you’ll journey through the layers of Egypt’s ancient glory, beginning with the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza — the Great Pyramid of Khufu, that of Khafre, and Menkaure — timeless monuments rising from the golden sands since the 4th Dynasty, around 2500 B.C. Enjoy a 30-minute camel ride through the Sahara, circling these wonders as the Great Sphinx watches over the plateau with its eternal gaze. Savor a traditional lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the pyramids before continuing to the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of pharaohs come alive — colossal statues, gleaming artifacts, and the full collection of Tutankhamun displayed together for the first time — an unforgettable encounter with 5,000 years of civilization.

A Must if you value your time

This was the first time I book a tour on an international location; I normally rent a car and make it on my own to have as much freedom as possible, but I got both of best worlds with this tour. We hit the Pyramids, got inside a pyramid and touch them, ride a Camel, went to locally own stores, had some local food, visit the museum and was back at my hotel with no effort at all. My guide was Mimo and he seems to be known by everyone everywhere we go and that skipped me a couple of lines and saves me a lot of time. Adel, our private driver was there always waiting wherever we were with really help maximize our time. Also, every time that memo would hand me over to another person on any of the shops, I feel I got the best person in those stores even my camel guide was a great photographer . in summary it was a great experience, and although Mimo is a highly knowledgeable Egyptologist it was never an issue for him be pretty much a personal assistant thru the day.

Pyramid Tour

Fatima was funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. She provided expert explanations, kept us engaged, and provided the best overview of the pyramids and GEM. She was so good we booked another tour specifically with her. Cannot recommend this tour enough and recommend you request Fatima specifically.

Day visit to Cairo Pyramid and Grand Egyptian Museum

We had a great time with Mimo and Emad. Both were very informative, and they also gave us enough free time to explore and take pictures.

Amazing Mimo

Mimo (the guide) and Emad (the driver) were very friendly and specially Mimo explained everything im great details. Picked us up from sharp 8am as promised and gave us enough time to explore places and to take pictures. Highly recommend both of them for your next excursion.

Good guide recommended in Spanish with transportation included

The guide who played us excellent, told us a lot of history and made an unforgettable tour. As a negative point I would put the initial point of contact before talking to the guide who did not give any reliability that it would go well with brief answers, without much information and in a hurry to book when we contacted them by WhatsApp. Despite this, then everything went well.

A special day

We did the tour with the Moshira which was simply amazing. Very dear and tried to share the knowledge he had about Egypt. It made the visit special and the day was well spent. Just two details: we bought the tour in Portuguese and it was made in Spanish. At one point my children were tired and could no longer understand, which was a pity. And the second We made the tour of papyrus and essences and also the spices. This part could be excluded. It's basically just another way to try to sell and things are expensive.

Amazing tour guide and experience!

We had Memo as our tour guide, and he really made this an amazing experience! He had great knowledge that he shared throughout the tour. He also helped to make sure we had an experience personalized to our interest, and he was able to help us see everything we wanted. He gave us plenty of time at each stop as well. We also really enjoyed our food during our stop for lunch. Our driver was excellent as well. Overall we highly recommend this tour!
