Itinerary
Begin your day with a touch of royalty as Sun Pyramids Tours escorts you from the comfort of your Cairo or Giza hotel at the break of dawn. Your private guide and driver will lead you on a journey southward to the storied necropolis of Dahshur, where the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid stand as timeless tributes to the ancient Pharaoh Snefru. These architectural marvels, nestled about 40 kilometers from the bustling heart of Cairo, invite you to unravel the mysteries of a civilization long past.
Next, witness the Step Pyramid of Zoser, a pioneering edifice in the annals of stone construction, conceived during the 3rd Dynasty for the revered King Djoser. Around 2630 BC, this pyramid set the precedent for centuries of monumental pyramid-building.
A culinary break awaits at a local restaurant, where the flavors of Egypt will tantalize your palate, preparing you for the afternoon's enchantment.
The journey crescendos as you approach the Giza Plateau, home to the iconic Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Here, the grandeur of ancient Egypt unfolds before your eyes, offering a glimpse into the power and prestige of the pharaohs who once ruled this land.
No visit to Giza is complete without paying homage to the Great Sphinx, the enigmatic guardian with the visage of Pharaoh Chephren and the body of a lion. This colossal statue
oupled with the sacred Valley Temple nearby, forms a historical tapestry that is both profound and awe-inspiring.

We’ve taken a tour to the Great Pyramids and Web strongly recommend them. Private transportation in comfortable van with pretty good AC and bottles of water included for the duration of the whole day. But the highlight of our experience was our tour guide Nagwan (aka GiGi). Picked us up on time, arrived with a big smile on her face, very warm welcoming, patient, super knowledgeable, kindly sharing lots of mindblowing details about the monuments and everything. She also helped us taking breathtaking pictures, kept scammers from disturbing our time in Giza so we could take in these amazing moments. We liked their services so much that we’ve decided to hire the same agency (AND TOUR GUIDE) for 2 more sightseeing tours during our stay in Egypt!
