Itinerary
Our tour guide will pick up from your hotel to enjoy your pyramids day Of all of Egypt's major tourist attractions, only one is at the top of any list - the Pyramids of Giza. They're Egypt's three main pyramids, built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 B.C). The pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built as tombs for kings (and queens), and it was an exclusive honor to have such a tomb. However, this tradition only applied in the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Today there are more than 93 pyramids in Egypt; the most famous ones are those at Giza. Now let's go for a little tour around the site of the pyramids and try to explore the magnificence of the area:

The famous Great Pyramid of Khufu is by far the biggest, tallest, and most intact pyramid in Egypt. After its construction, it became one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”, and today, it is the only one of them remaining. For a period of 4300 years, the pyramid was also the tallest building on earth, until the French built the Eiffel Tower in 1889. Khufu’s Pyramid is built entirely of limestone and is considered an architectural masterpiece. It contains around 1,300,000 blocks ranging in weight from 2.5 tons to 15 tons. Its square base covers 13 acres, and its sides measure about 230m (755ft). Its four sides face the four cardinal points precisely and it has an angle of 52 degrees
Khafre's Pyramid, or the 2nd Pyramid, is easily recognizable by the layers of its original casing stones that still remain near its summit and this, along with the fact that it actually stands on a higher part of the plateau, gives the impression that it is taller than the Great Pyramid. An optical illusion, as it is only 136m (446 ft) tall, with sides of 214.5m (704ft), a surface area of 11 acres and an angle of 53 degrees. It also has lost some of its original height through the years, once being 143.5m (471ft) tall.
Khafre's son, Menkaure, built the smallest of the 3 main pyramids on the Giza Plateau. This one was only a mere 65.5m (215ft) tall, nowadays 62m (203ft), with sides of 105m (344ft) and an angle of 51.3 degrees. It is thought that this pyramid was altered during its construction, and made a lot bigger than originally planned. The original, smaller pyramid had a simple descending corridor and burial chamber, but when it was enlarged, a new corridor was built with 3 portcullises and a small paneled chamber. Later still, another burial chamber, along with a storeroom were added at a lower level. This pyramid, like its 2 neighbors, has a north facing the entrance.
The Great Sphinx, or as the ancients knew it, “Shesep Ankh” or “the living image”, has to be one of the most recognizable constructions in history. Think of the Sphinx and you automatically think of Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Sculpted from soft sandstone, many believe that it would have disappeared long ago had it not been buried in the sand for so many long periods in its lifetime. The body is 60m (200ft) long and 20m (65ft) tall. Its face is 4m (13ft) wide with eyes measuring 2m (6ft) high. It faces the rising sun and was revered so much by the ancients, that they built a temple in front of it.
For thrill-seekers, you will have a 60-min.ATV quad ride at Giza plateau. Embark on an unforgettable journey with our luxury day tour, book now and let the magic of this historic land captive your eyes. then back to hotel

From the very beginning, this experience was elevated by our amazing guide, Ahmed. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and shared Egypt's rich history and fascinating facts with genuine passion. Our pickup driver was also incredibly kind, understanding when we were running a little late, and attentive throughout the day. The itinerary was varied and exciting, allowing us to experience Egyptian culture, explore the pyramids, learn about history and art, and take in the breathtaking scenery. We even had the opportunity to go inside a pyramid, which was a memorable experience. However, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the quad biking. The excitement, adrenaline, and sense of freedom as we raced through the desert, weaving through paths and dunes while sand flew into the air around us, was absolutely incredible. It was thrilling, fun, and unforgettable. As a honeymoon experience, it made our trip even more special. We shared so many laughs, exciting moments, and new adventures together. It was a fantastic day that we'll remember for years to come. Highly recommended!

The driver and tour guide were fantastic! Our tour guide spoke perfect English. Positives: The pyramids and sphinx experience was great! The quad bike was really good for the photos, but you should be warned that to get to the desert, you will need to go to back streets where they breed horses and it can get very dirty/dusty. Negatives: The tour takes you to multiple stops not discussed on the itinerary in which they bring you to papyrus, essential oils, jewelry stores, etc. so they stores can pitch their wares. I highly recommend requesting these stops be skipped unless you are interested in actually buying anything from these vendors. We went to a few stops and requested the remaining be bypassed, in which our tour guide obliged.

I first need to share that the other bad reviews are completely factual. I can see that the business likes to try to post as if they reviewed the wrong company but I can tell you with certainty that I am reviewing the correct tour as it is the exact link sent to me. I had written a good review at the end of my tour with Kareem because he made me write one while stuck in the car and I was too afraid to write a bad one. First off this trip says it's going to be 4 hours, it wound up being 8 hours because they forced me to shop with all of the other people who are in on the scheme. Don't get me wrong, I have been to many countries where they add in a stop or two to try to make more tourism money for the local shops. I came prepared with extra money and was excited to shop. However, they took me to 6 different places where most of them turned out to be a scam. The 3rd shop we went to sold me fake frankincense oil. The 4th shop (whom my tour guide seemed most comfortable with needs its own section for how I was screwed). The fourth shop the took us to (mind you we haven't done anything on our actual itinerary yet), scammed us and stole 1200USD. We bought only 3 spices! When I noticed the mistake we went right into the shop and asked them to fix the mistake for how much they charged and the guy who sold it to us DISAPPEARED. They then bring in a non English speaking guy so that our tour guide can look like he's helping but I later started to figure out he was in on the whole thing. My tour guide then starts taking creams off the shelf and starts putting them in a bag for me to try to give me some value to walk away with? Idk, but if this shop doesn't belong to you, why would you feel comfortable enough to take so many things off of their shelves? I then of course discovered when we got back to the hotel- it was all fake. So now I've been shopping and scammed for hours, my disabled dad is forced to be out and about for 8 hours rather than six, and my tour guide feels untrustworthy. We then finally make our way to the actual pyramids. By this point he is calling us cousin, telling us he loves us, basically love bombing to try to gain support from us so we don't think he is in on it. Our tickets to the pyramids are already paid for and Kareem asks for us to give him our credit card to buy tickets to get into the pyramid! He says i need your card and i will give you cash. I told him absolutely not, the card is done because so much money was taken! He magically is able to get us tickets and walk us through. We are trying to make the best of it because we are here to spread my mom's ashes and I'm still really unsure of what is going on. He showed us the pyramids, the immediately stops me at one of the shops there. I was so upset that he would force me to shop again after so much money was taken. He told me earlier in the trip that he could help me talk prices down if needed. So I'm looking at a little trinket that I can easily buy in the US for 10$. The guy asks for $30 and i ask Kareem to help me haggle a little. He said "what's the problem? It's only $30". That's when I started realizing this guy is not here to help us. I finally asked him to just take us back home without going in the pyramid or doing the quad ride. We were then pressured to write a review before being let out, and i was too afraid at the time to write a bad one. I was so sick to my stomach that the one person I hired to keep us safe was the one who screwed us over and over again. I didn't even leave the hotel the next day. Also, the pyramids would have been AMAZING without a tour guide. There was no high pressure there and it would have been easy to go by ourselves.
