Itinerary
The Pyramids Of Giza
Admission not included240 min
A professional tour guide will pick you up from your hotel, either in Cairo or Giza, to start your half-day tour to the complex of Giza pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still remains awesome. At the foot of the pyramids lies the Sphinx, whose face of King Chephren and body of a lion represent strength.
The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramid of Chephren—where they mummified their dead bodies—and the wishing well.
Return safely to your hotel. We hope you will enjoy your half-day pyramid tour with us, which includes pickup services from your hotel and return.

Pyramids trip
A beautiful, distinctive and informative trip. We enjoyed a trip on a stagecoach in the middle of the desert and an enjoyable view of the pyramids.

Best guide Ehab
Saw this tour by Hesham Egypt private daily tour guide on the Marriott website and booked without a second thought. Got a voucher that listed what is included and what isn’t and got contacted by Hesham. Despite my voucher saying that the guide is included in the price, Hesham told me it wasn’t and wrote how much I had to add on top of what’s already been paid. When I (just) asked so how come it says on the voucher that it’s included, he seemed to get mad and told me not to write to his (on whatsapp) any more and only email. By email he said that if I don’t pay for the guide I’ll only get a driver who speaks Arabic. It wasn’t a problem prying the extra for the guide but the way Hesham handled it was just surprising for a modern day service owner. This is the reason why I give the tour 4 out of 5, because after paying the extra, we got Ehab as our guide and he was great, very polite, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. He made sure we really enjoyed our tour, took many great pictures, helped with the kids etc etc etc. He really deserves 5*, thank you Ehab!

Pyramid/Sphinx tour and general Cairo
Amazing tour and history guide from the best Egyptologist Kerim and Incredible driver Assem. Showed us all around Cairo and all of the best stores. Made us feel like family and made sure we weren’t taken advantage of as tourists in a new city. 5 stars would highly recommend.
