The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or just the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature. Facing directly from west to east, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt.
The largest archaeological museum complex in the world and host to more than 100,000 artifacts. For the first time ever, King Tut’s entire treasure collection will be on display alongside artifacts from prehistoric times through Egypt’s many thousands of years of pharaonic civilization through the [comparatively] more modern ancient Greek and Roman periods of Egyptian history.

EgyptTours Portal made our 16 hour layover in Cairo an absolute dream! We were met before customs and ushered through to our waiting driver (spacious private van and well air conditioned), who took us to our amazing tour guide Mohamed Osman. Mohamed made us feel welcome, he guided us through an ancient civilization, bringing it alive, recreating a time from 3500 years ago. He also shared insights into modern Egypt. His enthusiasm and passion were evident and there was not one question he could not answer (and we asked many). I am so grateful for this day!
Egypt Tours Portal was a wonderful company to work with. This was our first trip to Egypt and we had 2 kids with us (12 and 15) and wasn't sure how to plan it - but ETP took care of all of the logistics from start to finish and it was an incredible vacation. Our tour guide in Cairo - Amr - was very knowledgeable and made sure that we didnt miss any of the important sights or photo spots. He was a great guide and we definitely recommend him if you are visiting Cairo! For our trip to Luxor and Aswan along the Nile we had another fantastic tour guide - Mohamed Eldaw - who was also incredibly knowledgeable and made visiting the temples and Valley of the Kings a fun and knowledgeable experience for both adults and kids. Both guides were invaluable and I would recommend both to anyone visiting Egypt. We felt like we were visiting friends the whole time we were here and cannot say enough good things about this amazing country!
We spent 15 days in Egypt and Cairo was one of our favorite places!!! Ahmed was our guide and he was AMAZING! Ahmed was very friendly, fun, knowledgeable, communicated extremely well, and seemed very happy to share his knowledge and love of Egyptian history with us. Outside of this, he also brought us to the BEST places for food!!!! We had a great time in Egypt and we highly recommend ETP (and Ahmed!) for anyone looking for a fantastic experience.
Amr Aswany Amr has been a great tour guide. He was not only very friendly but very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He gave very good suggestions about how to handle everything from street vendors to recommendations on what to prioritize on our sightseeing. We felt very comfortable and secure on our trip with his guidance and sense of humor.
Amr Aswany Great personality, helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend him for friends and family. Very happy with his work. Elaine Dautcher and Herbert Greider
Superb experience in the Pyramids of Giza with Manal. It is a very prepared, professional and organized guide. Thanks to his knowledge and excellent management of the group, the visit was agile, comfortable and very enriching. Fully recommended.
Reham Sabry was an unbelievable tour guide. Very nice and smart and she answered all my questions. The whole tour was first class from the time they met me at the airport to the time they dropped me off. Everything went perfectly without a hitch. Even after the tour I had some questions and Reham was quick to respond. The hotel and food were all first class. Would give them 6 stars if I could.
Essra is knowledgeable, kind and considerate. She ensured that our experience was very informative and comfortable.
Everything well cordinated. They were properly explained. Highlight was the tour guide Yasser Mohammed Sammer. He was the best guide to have on the trip. I would highly recommend him for your travel to Cairo. He knows so much about Egyptian history and civilization and also about life in general.
Our tour guide, Mohamed Osman was knowledgeable and knew ways to get us in quick bypassing queues. Great communication and flexibility. Arranged and squeezed in GEM visit on a 1 day notice when it was not in the itinerary because when I had booked the trip, it wasn’t even open. Had him on two separate occasions. Giza, GEM, Dinner Cruise and Egyptian Museum and the Bazaars.
