Cairo Layover Tours til Giza Pyramids Egyptian Museum Bazaar Sound And Light Show

I am so sorry, that I did not visit Cairo before. It was one of the most intestesting experiences in my life. My day trip included everything I wanted to see in the area. My tour guide, Basmaa was quite knowlegable and informed me well.

We had a great time ! Tigo was a very entertaining tour guide and help to customize our day based on our needs. If we were interested in a purchase, he would make recommendations but never pushy. Was totally OK with us skipping shopping otherwise. Didn’t try to sell the camel ride on us and took very interesting photographs that’s Instagram worthy. The driver was also on time which we appreciate it. We Started the day at 7:30 which worked out really great. Beat the crowd and the heat when we were at the pyramids. Also included a sound and light show of the pyramids in the evening. We started The tour ended around 330 pm and the driver was scheduled to come back to a hotel to pick us up in the evening. Highly recommended to See the sound and light show if you’re interested in taking amazing dusk photographs with the pyramids the driver drove up to our hotel at 7 PM on the dot. Communication with the operator through Whatsapp was also super easy. They were always very responsive and kept constant open communications with us. 5/5!

What an amazing tour and day! My guide and driver were a whole vibe from the start of my tour up until the end. They were filled with positive energy, excitement about their country, and gave me a great first impression of Egypt upon arrival. I flew in that morning from Jordan and planned to stay in Cairo for a few days, so I appreciated this company’s generosity to pick me up from the airport and drop me off at my hotel at the end of the tour. We first visited Old Cairo’s Khan El Khalili Bazaar where I asked my guide for a few special shots, and he delivered. One shop owner wasn’t very happy that we were taking photos, so my guide showed me a few other options which I really appreciated. Next, we visited the Egyptian Museum, then stopped for lunch for a buffet style meal. Afterwards, we visited the pyramids. At the start of the tour my guide gave me the option to see the Saqqara Pyramid, but we didn’t have enough time, however, I’d recommend visiting it if you can work it into your day. I chose to purchase entry into the Great Pyramid which took about 20 minutes to go in and out. Be warned that it is VERY hot inside. Everyone around you is dripping sweat. After going inside we drove to a panoramic view of the pyramids where I had the option to take photos with camels and purchase a camel ride or horse carriage ride. Afterwards, we drove to the Great Sphinx to take additional photos and I was dropped off at my hotel where I spent a few hours before being picked up again to see the light show at the pyramids. Overall, I had a really fun day. I was traveling solo as a woman and my guide made me feel safe the entire time. I highly recommend this tour if you have a layover or plan to stay in Cairo. Out of my 2-week trip, this was one of the best tours I paid for and that’s all thanks to my guide and driver. Thank you for the hospitality!

Omar was a great tour guide. He went above and beyond to get me to the show. I booked my ticket through another outlet. This outlet didn’t follow through with finalizing my pick up time with Emo Tours. When I called Emo Tours at 5:55pm on the night of my event. Omar found an Upper driver nearby to my hotel to pick me up. I made it to the show in the nick of time. Omar was awesome. I really appreciate what he did. I recommend that you use Emo Tours for your activities.

The tour was amazing, number one in Egypt. The Guide Ehab Hoba is very knowledgeable and gives you an abundance of information about Egyptian History and the driver Agmay drove us everywhere very safely. Very friendly service from start to finish. I recommend them highly to everyone.

We ONLY have about 18 hours duration layover in Cairo. We were greeted & picked up promptly early 7 AM at the airport. Our tour guide was Ahmed Elshaer and our driver Mr. Farag. They took us and showed us the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx temples, panoramic lookout(breath taking) of the Giza area. We achieved our long dream to visit ancient Pyramid and Sphinx area. After that, we were taken to the Egyptian Museum. Mr. Ahmed Elshaer patiently accompanying us & explaining the best exhibits we MUST see at the Museum including the fantastic King Tut exhibit which we always wanted to see. We had a great lunch by the Nile river bank restaurant. After that we were guided for a walking tour of the great Bazaar to truly experience local Cairo shops, buildings and daily activities. After that Mr. Naga(our night time tour guide) took us to see the Sound and Light show at the Pyramids & Sphinx. It was a unique experience to learn about the great history of the Pyramids. After the show, we were driven back to the airport to catch the fight home. Our tour guides Ahmed Elshaer, Mr. Farag( hard working driver been driving us all day) & Mr.Naga were absolutely patient, attentive and OUTSTANDING. They show us the best attractions we wanted and & MUST see in Cairo during the limited time available. Their dedicated and hard work gave us the BEST Layover tour to see all the Pyramids, SPhinx, Museum, Bazaar and Sound & Light show. We were MORE than satisfied and grateful to our tour guide Ahmed Elshaer, our driver Mr. Farag(hard working all day fighting traffic congestion) to make our Layover tour unforgettable and precious. We want to thank Mr. Ahmed Elshaer, Mr. Farag and Mr. Naga again to give us a wonderful Layover tour.

Our tour guide was Mahmoud Ismail and he was very nice to have as a guide. We asked for our tour to start early in the morning so we could do as much as possible. Mahmoud arrived right on time and had much concern with making sure we got the most out of our time. We saw the pyramids from many different perspectives as well as the sphynx. Mahmoud took tons of pictures of us with the pyramids, which was fun. We then went to the museum where Mahmoud was able to explain about many of the artifacts and made the most of our time there. Third was lunch. Then we made it to the bazaar just in time where we roamed by ourselves for a little bit before we were taken to the airport. We weren’t sure if our terminal, so Mahmoud escorted us into the airport to ensure we were in the right place. We highly recommend this tour with Mahmoud.

Wounderful tour today with my tour guide Ehab . I highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt with Ehab Hoba. He is very experienced and professional. He explained and told all history of Pyramides. Made a lot of nice photos. I really enjoyed tour. Thank you very much.

We had a great time doing a private tour of the pyramids & museum. Our guide & driver - Ehab Hoba & Mohamed were amazing. Ehab is a 10 star guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic - which made the tour very engaging. He’s also a wizard with a camera. Mohamed made the rollercoaster that is Egypt driving a smooth and safe ride. Overall, the tour was very well put together with everything included in the price.

Came to a strange country and met a guide who was so friendly and informative that I would like to be guided by him when I come back to Cairo once again.
