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.

Best tour guide EVER!

Me & my husband loved the amazing & informative tour from Mimo & Ahmed. Literally showed us the best of the best of what they had to offer from the Pyramids to the Local goods and cottons & gave us so much in depth knowledge that we had no idea, Mimo took care of us to the fullest. Definitely will be recommending Mimo & Ahmed. Me & my husband are even thinking about coming back and we are definitely booking with them again.

Cairo main attractions tour

I highly recommend this tour. You get a fantastic and very knowledgeable tour guide as well as a driver. The private driver is a big time convenience. He waits for each different location to pick us up quickly and as mentioned conveniently. The tour guide has so much detailed information is amazing and informative. The lunch was delicious plus the views were priceless seeing the pyramids from the rooftop restaurant. We felt safe too which is obviously important. Have fun and be careful on the camel ride. Joking It was an experience that’s for sure

Amazing

Amazing trip and worth it. Properly planned and executed. Mahmood (Mimo) our guide was really knowledgeable and chatty: kept us informed and entertained. Together with the driver Ibrahim we had a lovely private family trip. Nothing was too much for Mimo and he made sure we were comfortable.

Journée très dense qui...

Programme très dense ( visite des pyramides, balade en chameau, passage au papyrus factory, repas, visite du souk khan al khalili, visite du musée du Caire et passage dans un magasin d'épices) qui permet de passer une journée exceptionnelle ! La présence de Shawky, guide parlant tres bien le français, passionné et passionnant rend l'expérience encore plus belle, un grand merci à lui.

A very complete day in Cairo!

We had a great day in Cairo, such a complete trip around Giza and the downtown area! Manar accompanied us all the way and taught us a lot about Ancient Egyptian history. Also, it was so nice to chat to her and have a laugh about this and that. She’s a lovely person and excellent tour guide!!

Giza +Egyptian museums

Great day spent at the pyramids and museums with Zeinab our guide. She took great care of every detail, made us feel safe and she had many great insights into the culture and ways of Egyptians. We went to both thr old and new GEM museum and she helped us every step of the way. This tour took high energy and was a long day but really worth every penny! Highly recommend this.
