On this tour about the pyramids, you will be taken back to Ancient Egypt. Even though they are considered as part of Giza, the pyramids are an absolute must do in Cairo. You will first visit the Great Pyramids Of Giza - Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos. Then you will visit the Valley Temple, the place where the Priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, owner of the second pyramid at Giza plateau. You will be able to have a close look at the Sphinx, the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren. I will make sure that you will take the best photos of your tour in Giza Pyramids.

What an amazing tour of the pyramids! Sherif has incredible knowledge as he is an archaeologist and has actually worked on the restoration of these ancient monuments. He is full of energy and life. He shared so many interesting stories and old time pictures of how it was discovered by the explorers. If you are curious about old religion, ancient civilisation and history, you would love chatting to him.
Great guide, Sherif is super fun to be with and has a lot of knowledge to share. Book him, you will love it!
Sherif is just a great guide with a lot of knowledge in archeology and an overall great guide who will make your time visiting the Giza pyramids the most enjoyable. He knows his history and his jokes and will take the coolest pics of you! 100% recommend! Shukran for everything Sherif!
Sherif was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, he was punctual, extremely polite, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing and talking about. He was so much more than just a tour guide. He was like a tourism expert, a geologist, a historian, and, above all, an amazing human being. He answered every single one of our questions with patience and enthusiasm and made the whole experience so interesting and enjoyable. And the photos… WOW! It honestly felt like we had paid for a professional photographer as well. He knew every single perfect spot, the best angles, and, most importantly, places where there were hardly any people. At times, it genuinely felt like the pyramids were closed exclusively for us because we could barely see anyone around us. He knew exactly where to take us to make the experience feel private and incredibly special. He was always smiling, happy, and genuinely excited to share his knowledge with us. The whole tour was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I honestly have nothing negative to say. Everything was perfect. If you are visiting the Pyramids of Giza, I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Sheriff! 🇪🇬❤️
Amazing sperience with the Sheriff of Giza!
Sherif was amaizing! He was so knowledgeable, took many pictures (amaizing ones). He made the whole tour so easy to understand and enjoyable. It was hours of learning about Egypt and its culture, while also having so much fun. Always smiling and full of energy! Thank you for everything, Sherif. We feel so happy that we got to meet you and experience the pyramids with your knowledge and wisdom. 🤍
What a grateful experiencie, the guide Sherif was amazing, he handled the tour perfect, first of all telling us the story based always in evidences, then his actitude and tone of voice, with an amazing English he made us pay atention easily and sumerge in the old Egypt. Also he know obviously that you will like to take some pictures so he wait and show us beautiful spots and also he offered to take us all the pictures that we wanted.
Sherif was an incredible guide. He was very helpful in historical info and taking photos.
Great visit, great guide, took great photos!!
We’ve been in Egypt for three weeks, planning the whole trip ourselves, but before visiting the pyramids in Giza, we were sure we would need a guide. We’re a family with two small kids (4 and 2 years old), so you can imagine how different this kind of experience can be and how challenging it can sometimes be. Choosing Sherif Abd was the perfect decision! We were able to have a private experience and truly enjoy the visit as a family. Sherif gave us very good and interesting explanations while also giving us the space and time we needed. He knows the perfect spots for beautiful photos, so now we have wonderful memories to take home with us. We highly recommend him! You can really see his experience and impressive knowledge, and his English is perfect as well. Thank you, Sherif, for making our visit to the pyramids such a special family experience!
