Itinerary

The Pyramids Of Giza
Admission included120 min

Panoramic Viewpoint – Capture unforgettable photos of all three pyramids. Great Pyramid of Khufu – Explore the largest of the pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure – Learn the fascinating stories behind these monumental structures. The Great Sphinx – Witness the enigmatic half-human, half-lion statue guarding the plateau. The Valley Temple – Visit the ancient temple believed to be used for mummification rituals.

Panoramic View of the Pyramids
Admission included20 min

The most iconic panoramic views of the Pyramids are found within the Giza Plateau, where several elevated desert ridges allow you to see all three major pyramids—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—lined up in a single, breathtaking frame.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu
Admission included20 min

The Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three main pyramids in the Giza complex. Built around 2560 BCE as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Khufu, it stood as the world's tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years.

Pyramid Complex of Khafre
Admission included20 min

The Pyramid of Khafre (also known as the Pyramid of Chephren) is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza. Built for Pharaoh Khafre around 2570 BCE, it is often mistaken for the Great Pyramid because it sits on a higher pedestal of bedrock, making it appear taller.

Pyramid of Menkaure
Admission included20 min

The Pyramid of Menkaure (also spelled Mykerinos) is the smallest of the three main pyramids of Giza, but it is often considered the most architecturally complex. Built for the Pharaoh Menkaure around 2510 BCE, it stands as a unique monument to the transition of the Old Kingdom.

Valley Temple of Khafre
Admission included30 min

The Valley Temple of Khafre is one of the most remarkably well-preserved buildings from Egypt’s Old Kingdom (c. 2570 BCE). Located just a few steps from the Great Sphinx, it served as the grand entrance to Pharaoh Khafre’s funerary complex.

Great Sphinx
Admission included20 min

The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world's most iconic monuments, carved directly from a single ridge of limestone on the Giza Plateau. Representing a reclining lion with a human head—widely believed to be Pharaoh Khafre—it has stood guard over the necropolis for over 4,500 years.

Grand Egyptian Museum
Admission included120 min

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is now fully open to the public, having celebrated its official inauguration on November 1, 2025. As of April 2026, visitors have complete access to the world’s largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization, including the long-awaited King Tutankhamun galleries

Nile River Valley
60 min

Step away from the city’s roar and into the gentle rhythm of the Nile. Our traditional Felucca rides offer a 'slow-motion' escape where the only engine is the wind and the only sound is the water against the wood. Whether it’s a romantic date under the Cairo skyline or a quiet moment of reflection, this is the Nile exactly as it has been experienced for thousands of years. Unplug, unwind, and watch the sun paint the city in gold."

Bazar Khan El-Khalili
Admission included60 min

Khan el-Khalili is a legendary open-air bazaar in the heart of Islamic Cairo and one of the oldest commercial hubs in the world. Established in 1382, this sprawling market is a sensory overload of narrow medieval alleys, aromatic spices, and centuries-old craftsmanship.

Our family tour in Cairo was unforgettable 🤎👌

The private car was clean, comfortable, and child-friendly. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and great with kids. We visited the Egyptian Museum (fascinating treasures, including King Tut's mask) and the Giza Pyramids—breathtaking up close. Having a private car made everything easy and stress-free. Highly recommend for families and friends 🤎

Be careful, they will ruin your holiday.

Scammers. ​An absolutely appalling experience. The organization was shambolic, the staff were poorly trained and rude, and the entire tour was just a non-stop attempt to flog us unwanted extras. When we gave our feedback to Miss Amira, she was shamelessly rude and even made threats, which was the absolute pinnacle of unprofessionalism. As it turns out, this "company" doesn't hold any valid licences to operate tours and is running entirely unofficial. Please be extremely careful!!!
