Itinerary
With prompt pick-up from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza by your Egyptologist tour guide in an air-conditioned vehicle, we shall begin your half-day tour at the Giza Pyramids. By visiting the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, explore the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
The Great Pyramid of Giza — also called the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops — is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau in Giza. It was built during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty for the pharaoh Khufu around 2580–2560 BCE.
The Pyramid of Khafre is the second-largest pyramid on the Giza Plateau and forms the center of the larger Pyramid Complex of Khafre, built for the pharaoh Khafre during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty around 2570 BCE.
The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main pyramids on the Giza Plateau, built for the pharaoh Menkaure during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty around 2510 BCE.
Continue to the Panoramic Viewpoint where you can take in a stunning bird's-eye view of the entire Giza Plateau. For an even more memorable experience, enjoy a camel ride around the plateau (at an additional cost).
Later, explore the Valley Temple, which was home to Pharaoh Khafre. Then you will be dropped off at your hotel or selected location in Cairo or Giza as the tour ends.
Next, visit the Great Sphinx of Giza, which has the head of a man and the body of a lion. Don’t miss the opportunity to photograph this incredible monument as many times as you can.
After the tour, you will be dropped off at your hotel in Cairo or Giza.

Ramy guided us through the fascinating Egyptian history. From pyramids, camel riding, to restaurant visits, everything was included. Everything was explained in detail in German. We were a group of 9, and that was perfect. If it happens again, then only with Ramy. Best regards, the Habibi group
We had an excellent day at the pyramids. A magnificent experience, made even more enriching thanks to our guide, Ayman Fawzi. Very professional, caring, and passionate, he accompanied us throughout the tour, sharing his knowledge with clarity and enthusiasm. His explanations brought the history of ancient Egypt to life. I recommend him 100% for anyone wishing to discover the pyramids under the best conditions.
That was very authentic, and Rami took great care of us.
It was beautiful to visit the pyramids, a dream since I was a child! Thanks to our guide Omar for accompanying us. He speaks Italian very well and answers all the questions.
I booked the tour by myself, afraid to go around alone. The guide was very helpful, we were 6 people in total. Everything was good
The guide was great, the explanations, the involvement, his kindness, and his knowledge, thank you again! The site itself is a bit more expensive than the rest of the country; it supports the economy, so we know we go there to spend money if we are not careful.
Ramy was a super nice guide, and we really enjoyed the trip with him! Definitely would do it again :)
Great value for money, professional and well organised
h, got it! Here’s a revised version: “ I went on a group guided tour, and our tour leader was Bassant. She was absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. She made our visit to the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx really unforgettable. Thank you, Bassant!”
Our Francophone guide Amira Ali was just amazing and exciting, we had chosen a dromedary ride as well as a photographer to capture the moment, it surpassed itself and made us a hundred superb photos. I highly recommend from our experience.
