Hisham and our driver were amazing! Our experience at the Pyramids and Sphinx would not have been the same without them. Hisham was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much about Egyptian history. He also captured some amazing photos of us that we will cherish forever! We also had the opportunity to visit a papyrus museum, where we learned how papyrus paper was made, and an Egyptian essential oil shop, where we learned about aromatherapy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience while celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary in Egypt. This is definitely an anniversary we will never forget! Thank you, Hisham, for helping make our day so special!

Itinerary
Stand before one of the most extraordinary achievements in human history — the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the largest of the three Giza pyramids and the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Built over 4,500 years ago with more than 2.3 million massive stone blocks, this monumental structure reaches 138 meters into the sky and continues to astonish engineers, historians, and travelers alike. Your expert Egyptologist guide will bring this legendary site to life with fascinating stories, hidden facts, and deep historical insights you simply won't find in any guidebook. Explore the outer complex, discover the solar boat pit, and soak in the sheer scale of ancient Egypt's greatest achievement.
Step into the world of Pharaoh Khafre — son of Khufu and builder of the second-largest pyramid at Giza, instantly recognizable by the original polished limestone casing still crowning its summit. The Khafre Pyramid complex is one of the best-preserved in all of Egypt, offering a glimpse into the extraordinary architectural mastery of the Old Kingdom. At 136 meters tall, it appears even taller than the Great Pyramid due to its elevated position on the plateau. Your private guide will walk you through the surrounding mortuary temple, explaining the religious rituals, royal burial customs, and the genius engineering techniques that have kept this wonder standing for millennia.
Discover the most intimate and fascinating of the three Great Pyramids — the Pyramid of Menkaure, grandson of Khufu and Pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty. Smaller in size but extraordinary in character, Menkaure's pyramid is renowned for its remarkable interior chambers and its striking granite casing stones — a bold architectural choice that set it apart from all other pyramids of its era. On this exclusive tour, you will have the rare opportunity to step INSIDE the pyramid, descending into the ancient burial chamber through narrow passages carved thousands of years ago. This is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that very few visitors to Egypt ever get to enjoy — and it is fully included in your tour.
Explore one of the oldest and best-preserved ancient temples in the entire world — the Valley Temple of Khafre, dating back to approximately 2500 BC. Built from massive blocks of red Aswan granite and white limestone, this remarkable structure once served as the site where the pharaoh's body was received, purified, and prepared for its sacred journey to the afterlife. The temple's T-shaped hall, monolithic pillars, and carefully aligned architecture reveal the extraordinary sophistication of ancient Egyptian religious and funerary practices. Unlike the exterior monuments, the Valley Temple offers an immersive, up-close encounter with ancient stonework on a truly human scale — a hidden gem that many visitors miss and one of the most genuinely awe-inspiring stops on your entire Giza experience.
Come face to face with one of the most iconic and mysterious monuments ever created by human hands — the Great Sphinx of Giza. Carved directly from a single massive limestone ridge, the Sphinx stretches 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height, with the body of a lion and the face believed to bear the likeness of Pharaoh Khafre himself. It is the largest monolithic statue on Earth and has silently guarded the Giza Plateau for over 4,500 years. Your knowledgeable Egyptologist will share the Sphinx's most captivating mysteries — from its missing nose to the legendary Hall of Records — making this visit a deeply memorable highlight of your Egyptian journey. The perfect spot for those breathtaking, unforgettable photos.
Camel Ride — Desert Adventure Saddle up and journey across the golden sands of the Giza Desert just as ancient travellers, traders, and pharaohs did thousands of years ago — on the back of a magnificent camel. This exclusive 1-hour camel ride takes you on a sweeping panoramic route around the Giza Plateau, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of all three Great Pyramids rising dramatically from the desert horizon. It is, without question, one of the most iconic and photographed experiences available anywhere in Egypt. Your camel handler is a warm, experienced local guide who will ensure you feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the ride, while your private tour guide captures stunning photos and videos of your unforgettable desert adventure. A memory you will treasure for a lifetime.
Spectacular Horse Jumping Show Witness one of the most breathtaking and dramatic spectacles you will ever see in Egypt — our exclusive, heart-stopping Horse Jumping Show, performed right at the foot of the Great Pyramids. Watch in awe as our magnificent black Arabian stallion rears up powerfully against the legendary backdrop of the Giza Pyramids — a once-in-a-lifetime photo and video moment that is completely unique to our tour and found absolutely nowhere else in Cairo. This is not a standard horse ride. This is a professional, choreographed performance by a highly skilled and passionate equestrian team, showcasing the raw power, elegance, and spirit of the purebred Arabian horse in the most iconic setting on Earth. Whether you choose to watch from the ground or experience the thrill of sitting in the saddle during the dramatic rear, this extraordinary moment will produce the most jaw-dropping, share-worthy photos and videos of your entire trip to Egypt — guaranteed.

Karam is very well informed on the history and culture of Egypt. I recommend this tour, these guides and company to anyone who visits Egypt.

We had a wonderful experience in Giza exploring the Pyramids and Sphinx, and bonus camel and ATV rides. Kareem was a very kind, fun, and informative Egyptologist, that guided my Family through the Pyramids and beyond. He answered all of our questions and even included my 11yr old daughter in the conversations about Egypt and the pyramids. This tour was very helpful! We selected the option to have all fees included and it also came with a lovely Egyptian lunch. We also stopped at the papyrus shop and other optional spots to learn more about the Egyptian people and customs. Thank you Egypt Go Travel!
I had a fantastic experience that was lead by karam, he made my tour experience amazing and my birthday celebrations one I would not forget. Highly recommend this tour. Our driver Ahmad was great , friendly take made sure our ride was smooth and comfortable.
10/10 experience start to finish, we got picked right up from our hotel by Sameh and Karam. Karam was such a great tour guide and we learned so much about Egypt, he was so excited to tell us about this amazing country. We did everything! We got to the pyramids and Karam made it so smooth by getting us to the important parts, he took such great photos of us and got us to trusted people along the way that took us on camels and atvs, we went inside a pyramid and had an amazing lunch with great views. Karam is a very reliable and trusted tour guide with so much knowledge, I enjoyed my trip so much!
We had a great time seeing the Pyramids, doing Horse Jumping, going to the Papyrus Museum and Quad biking through the Giza desert. We also stopped off to get lunch half way through the tour. Hesham was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Great experience! Private tour from Hisham. He was so nice and friendly! Took us around and gave us information about the pyramids and history. Everything you need for an Egyptian experience.
Beautiful tour, great experience, couldnt appreciate Hesham more
I had a good experience with this tour. My guide Karan was very knowledgeable about both ancient and modern-day Egypt. He began the tour the moment he picked me up from the hotel and answered any questions I had. The only thing I would have liked to have been made clear is that while lunch is included, any drink you want to get with lunch is not included. And the restaurant that I went to did not accept credit card to pay for said drink. Other than that, the pyramid tour, camel ride, horse ride, ATV ride, and Nile cruise were great.
We had a great day with Ahmed el Swedy and driver Ali. Pickup from the hotel was very helpful and they have great knowledge of the area. They answered all our questions about the tour and Egyptian culture. Would book with them again!
We had an incredible day with Ahmed el Swedy and Ali. Nothing was too much trouble, including adding in some extra stops. Communication was great and they were on time. Finishing the day on ATVs was perfect.
By far the best tour in Egypt.you really get your moneys worth with this one. Moustafa went above and beyond to make sure that we were safe and very informed of the history we were witnessing. From the camel ride at the pyramids to the lunch with a great view of pyramids and also the ATV ride. This is a 5 star tour experience. To top it off we had a great dinner and show on the boat that took us up the Nile river.
Our guide was Karam and Mohamed, our driver. Very nice gentleman. Arrived right on time at our hotel. Karam was extremely knowledgeable, and we both had a fantastic time... The time of our lives actually!!! Very pleased!!!
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Karam has a rich knowledge of Egyptian history and put so many things into the proper perspective. The tour of the pyramids by camel and quads was spectacular and well planned. Topped off with a great lunch overlooking the pyramids. Mohamed drove us to each location safely and was a real professional. Cant say enough about these two great people .
Fantastic all day mega tour! Our host Hisham was amazing, he explained everything and we felt very safe. We had pick up, camel, pyramids, quads, lunch and dinner cruise 10/10
Where do I even start?! We have done many tour around the world, and this is by fair one of the greatest! We booked a full-day private tour in Cairo with our guide, Ahmed el Swedy and driver, Ali, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of our entire trip. Pickup was at 7am sharp and they had us back at our hotel just before 9:30pm. We had a full, packed, AMAZING day. Pyramids, camel ride, Sphinx, inside one of the smaller pyramids, ATV riding, the Papyrus Museum, a reputable oils shop, lunch, and then they even took us back to the hotel so we could change before our Nile River dinner cruise (which they also dropped us off and picked us up from. We felt so taken care of. What really stood out: all entrance fees, the camels, the ATVs, and lunch were included. We only paid for our own drinks. We genuinely had no idea how much was covered and kept being pleasantly surprised all day. Our guide, Ahmed el Swedy was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, funny, punctual, and just really great to spend a whole day with. He gave us helpful tips on tipping throughout (a lifesaver as tourists), took photos for us whenever we asked, and made great recommendations all day. My wife and I felt completely safe and comfortable from start to finish. 10/10, no notes. Don’t hesitate and Book them!
I came to Egypt for the first time as a solo traveler so I booked this tour. The tour guide, Karam, and driver, Mohammed, were both super nice and accommodating. Karam was very knowledgeable and funny, gave me lots of history bout Egypt and took many pics for me and answered any questions I had. Loved the camel ride and seeing all the sites, even went to some shops and heard about their work and what they do. Overall excellent experience, 10/10 recommend!!
Awesome experience with our guide Karam. Very knowledgeable and knows all the best spots to show. Highly recommended!
Karam was amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about all the cities, the pyramids, and all around. Easy to understand and would def do a tour with him again.
We had a lovely guide called Karam and the driver Mohammed, talked through the history of the pyramid and Egypt, taking us to Golden Eagle Crystal where you can buy organic oil, to Golden Bird Bazar where you can Katush and Key of life Papyrus Establishment where you can see how papyrus are made and the story behind those papyrus, very interesting and informative. Great guide and great day.
My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in Cairo. One of our bucket list items was to do a camel and ATV ride. We were a little concerned that we would not be able to physically handle the physical requirements of both activities. Due to the incredible patience and care that our tour guide, Karam, and the staff demonstrated, we absolutely enjoyed both activities!! Karam was also very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. We highly recommend Karam and the Egypt Tours and Excursions team. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience!
My daughter and I had the pleasure to tour with Ahmed el Swedy and Ali! This tour was very reasonable in price! Ahmed was absolutely sweet, knowledgeable accommodating and welcomed us with open arms the moment we met. He took us to all the local shops, museums and restaurants and allowed us to feel peace and safety while Ali masterfully drove us through the streets of Cairo. I would 100% recommend using them to get the best experience money could buy because it was worth every penny. Thank you gentlemen for an unforgettable experience 🫶🏽🤗❤️
Walking with Ahmed is like walking with a family friend who loves Egypt. The laughter, wisdom, and kindness are what makes Cairo and Ahmed’s stories exciting and inspiring. He showed us why he loves Egypt and now we do too. This is why you should book this adventure.
We had an amazing day with our guide Karam. Communication and pick up were easy. He took some amazing pictures and the tour around the Giza plateau was brilliant. The camel rides and quad bikes were a highlight, great fun! Lunch was in a place overlooking the pyramids, food was nice. We did stop off at a few touristy places, but there was no pressure to buy. We did buy some bits after haggling a little. A great day and I would recommend this tour.
Amazing doy of ancient Pyramids and Egyptian history. I highly recommend Ahmed as your guide and Egyptologist and Mohamed who got us to several locations safely and comfortably. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see all of the Giza Plateau in spectacular day. Thanks Mohamed and Ahmed for your hospitality.
Wife and I went with an elderly friend who need support to walk great distances, get into the van, and on the camel. Mr. Fahad the driver (not sure I'm spelling that correctly) was very helpful and Karam was very knowledgeable. They even got special permission for us to use their vehicle at the pyramids. The only issues were my wife wanted to stop more while we were 4 wheeling 8n the desert for pictures and the man assisting us from the 4 wheeling company wanted to stop only at his two spots. I did not enjoy the three stops for shopping but my friend and wife did. Other than that it was great.
Great day seeing the pyramids with Karam our guide & our driver Mohamed- well organised. Loved going in the pyramid the camel and ATV rides so many great photos the guides take amazing pictures!!
So fun!!! We had a blast. Got to do so many things and had a really long day! Can’t wait for next time!
I’m on a girls trip with my best friends and we are so glad we booked this tour! Our tour guide Ahmed el Swedy was awesome, polite, knowledgeable and very friendly. We did the VIP experience and so worth it. Our transition to each experience was seamless and Ahmed always guided us on what to do, when appropriate to tip and when not to. Such an unbelievable experience. Our drive Ismael was also great and made us feel confident leaving our personal belongings in the private car. 10/10 recommend, ask for Ahmed and Ismael!
Amazing to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Both our guide (Karam) and driver (Mohamed) were incredibly helpful and pleasant to talk to. Karam was very knowledgeable about the history and explained how various aspects of the Pyramid construction were dealt with. Overall a great experience and certainly worthwhile.
If there's something that you need to book while in Cairo, this excursion is the very best one. I loved everything about it and also the customer service skills that Hisham has. Camels were so much fun, a life time experience. Food was delicious, scenery was breathtakingly. If could give him more stars I would give them all to him.
Histamine was a knowledgeable guide of history, giving us tidbits of information during the day. Each experience from the 🐫 ride at the beginning to the ATV ride to conclude our day was wonderful. The shops we were taken to for a little history of Egypt to take home to the great lunch was a day I would recommend to everyone.
My sister and I had an amazing experience touring Cairo with Karam and Mohamed! Karam has amazing knowledge on the history of Egypt and learning many facts about this beautiful ancient civilization was amazing! Mohamed was also very kind and helpful with driving us around Cairo. As it is our first time in Egypt they helped us feel safe and I would 100% recommend touring with them
I consider myself a world traveler, that being said the experience we had today was amazing , educational, inspiring. All due to an exceptional guide named Hisham. He went over and above and exceeded our expectations. His knowledge and expertise made us feel safe and well informed. I highly recommend this experience. Alfonso
This was truly one of the most wonderful travel excursions I have ever had—and that says a lot, as I travel frequently all over the world. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, the experience was seamless, exciting, and incredibly well organized. Our guide, Hisham, was outstanding. He was kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture. He made every part of the day engaging and informative, and his passion for sharing the beauty of Egypt really stood out. The entire itinerary—from the pyramids to the camel ride, quad biking, and lunch—was unforgettable. Everything was well coordinated, safe, and perfectly paced. I would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting Cairo. It was an experience I will remember forever.
5 IGive karam 5 because he is very good tour guide and no stress for me and my sister . I enjoyed every minute with him . Amazing tour camel ride atv and delicious food. Thank you very much.it is highly recommended.
Our tour began with a pick up from the hotel lobby where we were greated by our your guide Karam. We were driven to the pyramids via the new highway and entrance. Or guide Karam was very friendly, professional and knowledge. We started out with the camel rides around the necropolis. Then a your of the Giza pyramids. To kill some time before lunch (that was covered in the trip), we went to government approved souvenir shops before having lunch. Let your guide speak for you. After that we had fun driving ATV around the pyramid site. It was everything we imagined. Word of advice, bring tips.. This is a tip economy just like most all tourists spots around the world. If you are on the fence trying to decide, please book this trip. Highly recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend this tour enough! Karam was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much insight from his years of experience. He also took amazing photos and videos and was happy to answer all my questions along the way. Karam suggested starting at 7:30 AM to beat the crowds, and I’m so glad we did — it made the experience so much smoother and more enjoyable. Our driver, Muhammad, was wonderful as well, making sure we got everywhere safely and comfortably. Overall, it was an unforgettable day and one I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting!
What an amazing day spent with Karam our guide and Muhammad our driver (who has made skills). From the moment they collected us in the morning till end of day drop they were there for us. Karam is extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions with ease, such an experience to see the pyramids and Sphinx up close and getting the chance to go inside one. Highly recommend and can't praise the guys enough, wouldn't be a relaxing day trying to arrange everything yourself.
Karam showed us a fabulous day in Giza. The camel ride felt way more personalized than I expected. And the ATV ride was one of the coolest life experiences. Karam made sure we felt safe and did everything we wanted including customized detours to get sweets and other items. I can’t say enough good things - Karam made my day and started my trip in Egypt incredibly well!
Super fun experience with just the right amount of information and history! Highly recommend for a great experience in Cairo! Thanks Ahmed and Karam!
