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.

Perfect program

It was a great experience and fully met our expectations. Our guide was very experienced and extremely friendly and spoke perfect German. We were picked up in an air-conditioned car and driven from station to station. We didn't have to wait anywhere.

Best Tour Guide Ever!

Our guide, Manar, was extraordinary! She made our trip a truly incredible and memorable experience. She is highly educated in Egyptology. We were amazed to learn all we did about the spiritual and cultural aspects of her country. Manar is intelligent, kind, and compassionate. She cares deeply about the cats and dogs in Egypt, and I was inspired by her. I highly recommend her as a guide! She is just a wonderful human!

The tour was amazing and my tour guide, Mahmoud, was even better. He took a ton of pictures of me since I was traveling solo. He also had a lot of great information not only about the sites we visited but other areas as well. Would highly recommend.
