A hassle-free start with smooth pickup

Your adventure begins at your hotel in either Cairo or Giza. At the agreed time, our tour guide will greet you there, holding up a sign bearing your name for easy identification. A private car awaits to transport you on an exciting journey towards the Pyramids of Giza.

Discover the majestic Great Pyramid and Sphinx

Your exploration starts with Khufu's Great Pyramid, the largest among its counterparts at Giza. Although its valley temple is hidden beneath layers of history, remnants reveal a once grand structure. Proceed to King Khafre’s pyramid next, renowned for its well-preserved mortuary and adjacent temples. Conclude your visit by exploring Menkaure’s smaller but historically rich Pyramid.

Experience the Great Sphinx up close — this legendary figure combines the body of a lion with the visage of King Khafre himself. Your guide will share fascinating stories about its mysterious origins as you admire it from near and far.

A delightful conclusion to your tour

Culminate your adventure in downtown Cairo, where you'll enjoy a serene felucca ride along the Nile River. As you glide past historic sites, take in views of the city skyline while learning about the river's storied history from your guide. After an enriching day at the Pyramids and Sphinx, return to your hotel comfortably for a relaxed end.
