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.

Wonderful Day at the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum with an exceptional Guide 😊

We had a wonderful day at the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Our guide Manar is exceptional! She has an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient Egypt and Egyptian culture and looked after us lovingly and comprehensively throughout the day, tailoring the program to our wishes. You can tell that she does her job with great passion and enthusiasm. We are infinitely grateful to her and learned a great deal from this day. She also took care of our well-being, arranging breaks and a delicious lunch. We can wholeheartedly recommend Manar. We also sincerely thank our wonderful driver, who was always there when needed!

Mixed

Satisfied with the explanations of our guide however the visit to the museum which costs 30€ per person was shortened duration = 45minutes the guide took us upstairs and left us alone. He took us back to the hotel at 3:00 instead of 4:00.

Pyramids, GEM and shops in Giza

We had a fun time visiting the Pyramids in Giza and Grand Egyptian Museum with our guide Zenab and her capable driver. We had a short and very memorable ride on camels, great photos taken by our separate camel guide. Our guide then took us through the pyramids area. After touring the Pyramids we visited three shops selling perfumes/oils, making papyrus and spices. These shops were not high pressure sales like the bazaars. We bought something from each. This was followed by buffet lunch and museum. A full day. The museum is massive and could easily be a full day on its own if you are have a strong interest in the kings of Egypt.

Best pyramid sightseeing

Nour's guide was the best. Not only was he knowledgeable and able to tell us about the history of the places, he was also a great guide full of kindness, giving us lots of free time and caring about us and letting us go sightseeing for longer. I am glad we asked you to visit our pyramids here. Next time I visit Pyramid again, I would like to ask Nour to help me.
