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.

Incredible Experience and Fantastic Guide

The tour was fantastic from start to finish, the pyramids were even more incredible to see in person, Mahmoud Hoka was an awesome guide and extremely insightful, he definitely made the tour with his passion, care and knowledge (especially around the Great Egyptian Museum) and highly recommend him for any future tours.

Amazing day in Cairo

With really had an awesome day visiting the pyramids and the museum. We had a surprisingly great lunch (normally on tours it’s pretty basic) but here it was was really great and complete. The golden part of the trip was our guide Fatma, super nice and amazingly knowledgeable, she took us on the journey feeding us with so much information. Pyramids are nice but there is so much to learn from them and the museum, not only it’s one of the best in the world, having a knowledgeable guide allow you to get the most out of it. Simply a must if you want to enjoy the visits!

Unforgettable Experience

We booked a private guide with Mimo and our driver, Adel, and they made the entire experience unforgettable. They guided us every step of the way with excellent advice, deep knowledge, and detailed history about the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the GEM. They also kept us safe from the many scams around the area, and we trusted their guidance throughout the whole day. Along the way, they introduced us to authentic local experiences including spices, perfumes, coffee, food, and more. I highly recommend Mimo as a guide, and Adel was an outstanding driver who kept us safe and comfortable while navigating such a busy city

This experience is a must...

This experience is a must when in Cairo, the pyramids are the centerpiece of the history sightseeing and the new Museum of Egypt offers a great view of the history, culture and times of Old Egypt. Also, our tour-guide Fatma was amazing, combining the knowledge and interesting stories with some great humor that kept us engaged and curious to explore all that the sites had to offer.
