Giza Pyramids

I booked a tour of the Giza Pyramids with Egypt Safari Tours, and it was fabulous. We saw the three pyramids and the Sphinx in person, and it was thrilling 🥹

New Egyptian Museum Cairo.

I had already been to the Pyramids almost 20 years ago; it was nice to return, and our guide Nabil, who speaks perfect Italian, was an invaluable source of information. Thank you, Egypt Safari Tours.

A very well organised day of activities in Giza!

Great day in Giza. Picked up from hotel door by tour guide and driver. Our guide Nancy was very friendly and knowledgeable, we had a lot of fun with her. Accompanied us around Giza pyramids and camel ride/market. Then onto Grand Egyptian Museum for guided tour. Fantastic day!

Pyramids and Sphinx

An unforgettable day discovering one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the pyramids of Giza. Arriving early in the morning, the heat was already felt on the skin, but a pleasant breeze made the day perfect. We followed a simple path around the site, taking photos and stopping to observe the details of the engravings. Seeing the camels slowly pass in front of the pyramids and feeling the desert wind makes the experience concrete, real, almost tangible. Entering the Great Pyramid of Cheops is an experience to have if one does not suffer from claustrophobia and can tolerate the heat. Our guide Hassan took us to the best spots for taking photographs and organized the camel ride for those who wanted to do it.

The ingenuity of a great people

Although millennia have ruined them, you can feel the grandeur of the work, made without the aid of modern means
