Opis
Experience the largest museum of ancient Egyptian art with its treasures of Egypt’s great past, such as the high-quality tomb goods. Our tour guide will humorously explain the most important exhibits in a two-hour stay and answer your questions. Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! A total of three pyramids can be found here : the Chephren, the Cheops and the Mykerinos pyramid. You can discover the terrain on foot, horseback or on camel for yourself. After visiting the pyramids of Giza, you will head to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and most preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The sphinx was hewn from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Cheops pyramid. Felukenfahrt on the Nile. In consultation with the tour group for a fee.

If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oils Factory. These two attractions will introduce you to ancient Egyptian techniques for making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits expand your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and are also helpful for the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very ancient handicrafts from ancient Egypt.

Magic experience
Very good experience, our guide Ahmed (Benedetto) very knowledgeable and very kind, attentive to us before going to the pyramids warned us against vendor scams. We had a great time with the staff. Thank you so much for making us live a dream

A must do experience!
We did this experience this week and what a fantastic day it was. Our tour guide Mario was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming, we could not have asked for a better host. He was so passionate about Egyptology, he really made the day for us. The tour was just with Mario, his driver and us in the car, it was very personable. We started our day by having a drive through the chaotic streets of Cairo, we then went on the boat trip. Mario managed to get us on a private boat so it was just us him and the driver, the boat was huge and it was a good duration. We then went to the main museum, before heading to another place that showed us how to make the papyrus. Lunch time next which was lovely. Then to the pyramids/sphinx and camel/horse ride. Mario then took us to the perfume museum and then went sat on the top floor which had good views of the pyramids. The only issue we encountered was in Sharm airport on the way to Cairo. You MUST buy your visa when you arrive in Sharm. We tried but there was nobody at the desk, we didn’t wait. When we tried to buy them on the day, the staff told us that they would not sell us the visa without a tour guide, however the tour guide wasn’t meeting us until Cairo. We had to find another guide who sorted it for us, for an extra £5 each of course. All in all a great day, we were skeptical being lone females and a 12 year old. However, Mario and his driver made us at ease straight away. All in all it exceeded all of our expectations and was a fantastic day. We were worried about long waits around from reading some of the other reviews however we had the opposite experience. It ran very smoothly, there was no waiting around and when we had done everything Mario asked if there was anything else we would like to do and then offered us the terrace with views of the pyramids. This was one of the highlights of our day. We would definitely book this again and we’d happily book Mario and his driver again too. If you’re skeptical, our advice would be to definitely book and go. It was amazing.

Excellent trip and well worth the visit
This is an excellent trip and well worth the day travelling from Sharm-el-Sheikh. We booked direct with Book Tour Egypt who managed all the arrangements and made booking, flight arrangements and payment very easy. As mentioned by all previous travellers, the is a long day but there's lots to pack in and the time goes quickly. You will receive your flight times and the schedule typically the day before the trip, via WhatsApp, and collect your flight boarding cards at the airport. We were picked up just after 3am followed by a few other stops to collect passengers at other hotels (around 10 people total) for a 5.40 flight to Cairo with Egyptair. If you haven’t already purchased a visa then you will need one before you fly although I would recommend getting one before hand on-line via the e-Visa online portal (link from the UK Gov Travel Advice Website) Be prepared for a lot of chaos at Sherm-El-Sheihk airport as you have to pass through several security scans/searches, with separate lines for men and women. This takes a little time but once through you should head to the airline checking desk to get your boarding pass - the flight itself is 45 minutes and very straightforward. At Cairo airport we were met buy Ahmed (our guide) and Mohammed (our driver). Both were excellent and very helpful. Ahmed is fantastic and has a great depth of knowledge on Egypt, Cairo and Egyptian History. We had a very quick stop on route to the Egyptian Museum for a coffee and toilet stop, followed by a short drive around some of the key sites in Cairo, before entering the museum which was excellent. Lots to see and Ahmed escorted us throughout, explaining and bringing to life many of the objects and artefacts. We spent a couple of hours in the museum before heading out towards Giza for lunch stop. Next stop after lunch was the Giza Plateau to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx where we spent a few hours walking around each of the main pyramids with plenty of time to explore them fully and grab photos etc. This was the highlight of the day for us and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to. Some of the group decided to take the optional camel ride (about half the group) whilst the rest of us were driven by Mohammed to a sport higher cup the Plateau for other photo opportunities. Although there are many people offering camel/horse rides, Ahmed and Mohammed made sure we weren't hassled and we were pleasantly surprised how little we were disturbed. Following the Pyramids/Sphinx we were taken to the oils/essence experience. Here you are provided with a drink and shown many different types of essences and then given the opportunity to buy them. This wasn't a hard sell and some members of the group did purchase, but equally many didn't. By this point in the day it's late afternoon (5ish) and our next stop was the optional Nile Cruise, which all members of our group decided to do. This was a small additional charge and was a pleasant cruise of about 30 minutes but could have been longer but did allow you to see some of the central parts of Cairo from the water. Worth doing though so at least you can say you've been on the Nile. Finally we were driven the old town where Ahmed walked us through some of the old parts of Cairo and a chance to see the Bazaars, shops and narrow / busy streets. At the end of the day we stopped at Mc Donalds for a quick bite to eat, before being dropped back at the airport for the return flight at 20:50, arriving back at our hotel around 10:30pm. Despite the very early start, the whole day was very interesting and I'd fully recommend it. Make sure to order a breakfast box from your hotel to see you through the early part of the day, and bring spending money with you for any tips or the additional optional trips. It's possible to pay by credit card, Egyptian Pounds, Dollars, Euro's or GB Pounds! Like others have commented there are parts of the day that could be taken out but the core elements of the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum backup with excellent information from Ahmed make this day work really well. I'd fully recommend booking direct with Book Tour Egypt who were always available on the phone if needed to clarify any details, and who tried to accommodate our personal request for the early flight back (thank you Asmaa). Our group had both English and Italian speakers and Ahmed flipped between the two languages with ease, keeping everyone amused and interested with his boundless enthusiasm and energy.

Good and bad of Cairo
A very early flight then met by our English speaking guide who said it would be a long day as we were so early and was sandbagging a bit while pretty much introducing us to all his family business interests so to speak on our jaunt around cairo. The pyramids were spectacular and the guide did so well shepherding us all about while keeping us safe from the countless scams and beggars. Lunch was tasty and substantial. You must do the nile trip at the end of the day just to say you've done it. A lovely end to a really good day! Biggest disappointment for me was the museum who are clearly gearing up for the new opening. Oh and yet again greeted by yet more beggars trying to sell toilet roll.. greeted by a very British F@#K off sunshine Would we do it again though.....more than likely

Flying to Cairo
On March 6th we made excursion to Cairo by plane from Sharm with Book tour Egypt. The experience was really very positive. A driver picked us up at 3am from our resort to drop us off at the airport. Landed in Cairo we found the guide who accompanied us throughout the day: Ahmed, he was very kind and professional, as well as speaking perfect Italian. We took a walking tour of the old town, sailed on the Nile with a new and elegant boat, and visited the Egyptian museum. Then we stopped for lunch, and in the afternoon we were in Giza, for the visit to the pyramids and the Sphinx. A really pleasant and interesting day with a great guide and company. I have had negative experiences with other agencies although known and appreciated. Be wary of others and rely on Book Tour Egypt for your excursions.
