Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids & Sphinx, Camel Ride & Lunch

Mohamed Yemani was an amazing tour guide! He was very professional and made sure we got to do everything on our itinerary without feeling rushed. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures, enjoy our meals, and take breaks whenever needed. He was also very knowledgeable and explained the history behind every place we visited. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend him!

We had the best experience ever! Yemeni made our trip memorable, easy, and safe. He was amazing.

Roaa was amazing! Super helpful!!

My tour guide was Roaa and she was great! Very knowledgeable and easygoing. She explained me about a lot of different things and answered all my questions, she was very attentive and sweet. As a solo female traveler, she made sure I was at ease at all times and was extremely friendly. Super recommend her and this tour!

This was the best excursion by far. We had so much time riding atv's and camels, going in pyramids, and seeing the new museum. We also went perfume shopping and I got a papyra camel painting. I highly recommend it. Mohammed Yemani was out tour guide.

I booked this tour while traveling solo, and it completely exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, my guide Roaa made me feel totally welcome and at ease.she is remarkably knowledgeable, sharing fascinating local history. But what truly made the experience special was how personable and fun she was to hang out with. It didn’t feel like a stiff, formal history lesson at all; it felt like spending the day exploring with a cool, well-informed friend. If you are traveling on your own and debating whether to book a tour with Egypt Discovery Tours, do it. And ask for Roaa! It was easily one of the best parts of my entire trip. Thank you for such a memorable day!

I came to Egypt with two of my friends from the U.S., and Abdu provided us with an amazing experience. He took us to see the Great Pyramids and brought us to the museum where he explained so much about the ancient gods, goddesses, and kings. He also made sure we got pictures from the best views and spots. I give Abdu a 10/10. If you’re visiting Egypt, please use him…he’s the best and very knowledgeable!

We had an amazing experience visiting the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum with our tour guide Abdu. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history that really brought everything to life. Abdu was also very kind, patient, and made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable and had a great time. His passion for Egypt’s history truly showed, and it made our tour unforgettable. We highly recommend Abdu to anyone visiting Egypt!

Honestly the most amazing experience with the best tour guide I have ever experienced. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and educated about the history of Egypt and made it to so easy to understand. He was fun and easygoing

What a fabulous building. Biggest exhibition museum I’ve ever been to. Very well organised, great on site guide. (Which was long enough) giving time to explore on your own. Very clean and well operated, good places to eat and drink in the main atrium to rest your legs. Will have to go back. Only advice would be, make it a full day. Get an early start, there is so much to see.

Roaa was an excellent tour guide! She picked us up from the hotel right on time and made our visit to the Pyramids and the museum unforgettable. She is very knowledgeable and clearly knows what she’s talking about. Highly recommended!

We couldn’t recommend Abdu enough! We had an amazing day - being flooded with incredible information at the Grand Egyptian Museum. The flow between all 12 sections was seamless. Our tour of the Pyramids was fascinating. Abdu spoke with such pride for his country and allowed us to walk and talk in the flower wished. What a phenomenal experience! I would also recommend walking inside Khufu’s Pyramid - WOW! If you’re looking for a sign to book a guided tour - this is it!

Great experience, very knowledgeable, very punctual. Overall great experience, highly recommend.

We booked Abdu for a private tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum and Giza Pyramids for our family of 6 (3 young adults aged 19-20, and 3 adults), and he absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the start, Abdu was professional and accommodating. He arrived early for pickup at our hotel, and when we were running 15 minutes late, he waited patiently without any complaints. During the drive to GEM, he kept everyone engaged with interesting history and questions tailored to our group. All three young adults specifically commented on how excellent his English was compared to other guides we had in Cairo. His use of American slang made conversations feel natural and easy to follow. At the GEM, we did a 2-hour highlights tour covering all the greatest hits. Abdu’s passion for Egyptian history and this new museum was contagious. He answered every question thoughtfully and his knowledge was impressive. As a photographer himself, he took wonderful photos of our family throughout the visit with great compositions and angles. When we couldn’t find what we wanted at the GEM gift shop, Abdu drove us to a nearby marketplace where we found beautiful souvenirs at half the price. He also took us to a local coffee shop and patisserie when the museum restaurant had a long wait, showing his flexibility and local knowledge. The afternoon at the Giza Pyramids was where Abdu truly went above and beyond. We had a professional photographer for a photo session, and Abdu stayed the entire time helping in every way possible. He coordinated with the camel handler, walked through the sand carrying our bags, took additional photos on our phones, even tied my son’s headscarf in the traditional way. His warmth and genuine care for our experience was touching. Abdu made our day special not just through his expertise, but through his kindness and enthusiasm. He felt less like a hired guide and more like a friend showing us his beloved city. We left him a generous tip because he truly earned it. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, flexible, great with young adults, speaks excellent English, and genuinely cares about your experience, book Abdu. He made our visit to the GEM and Pyramids one of the highlights of our Egypt trip. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Abdel was absolutely remarkable! He is very knowledgeable and explained the Egyptian history while walking through the museum and pyramids. He’s attentive to your needs and makes sure he provides you with exceptional customer service. He is also a great photographer and pays attention to detail. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable and resourceful tour guide book Abdel! My mom and fiancé were really impressed and said he’s a 10/10 and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Picked up in time Mariam throughly explained the history behind Egyptian civilisation and Coptic period. We were left to explore the 21 mummies which was awe inspiring and facinating. If you want an experienced guide use Marium!

We had a wonderful time seeing the Pyramids and sphinx. Rooa was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable and efficient. It was very busy with tourist and she kept us moving through very nicely. Definitely recommend this and ask for her!

”Egypt is not a country we live in but a country that lives within us." - Pope Shenouda III spoke above to the enduring influence of Egyptian culture and history on its people and the world.  Nice to be part of this exciting tour to witness this country that lives within us. Kudos to the tour guide, photographer and driver to accompany me.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is an absolute must see! The scale and design are breathtaking, and the treasures inside are presented in a way that’s easy to appreciate. What really made my visit stand out was my guide Abdu, he explained the history behind each piece in a way that was engaging and easy to follow, which made everything come alive. A world-class museum that is made even better with the right guide!

Had a amazing time at the Great Pyramids and Grand Museum. Our guide had so much knowledge about the Pyramids. He took amazing photos as well. I give the tour 5 stars from start to finish

Abdul was the most amazing guide, he's so understanding, kind and is open to & encourages questions, he definitely made a friend. Now about the experience, you have to book him, he knows how to do it and will capture the moment so it lives with you forever in fashion. Highly highly recommended 🤌🏻

Our guide was really patience and honest!!, he took all the time to explain everything so he did a great job!!, we really recommend him

Abdu our guide was very knowledgeable and patient, pick up was very easy and we enjoyed our trip to Giza

Abdu was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and patient, pickup was prompt and easy; highly recommended on your trip to Giza!

My private tour through Egypt with YEMANI was phenomenal! Very well mannered, down to earth type of guy , very generous and genuine! Anything that i wanted to do , he was there for me without a problem! Never got rushed for the pyramids tour , or the museum tour as well as the ATV ride in the desert ! YEMANI was very patient and didn’t rush me through anything we had planned ! Always asked me if i was hungry or thirsty to make a stop to grab something! That was very kind of him! He was concerned about my safety as a solo traveler from the USA , also warned me on avoiding scams which was very helpful and thoughtful of him. When i was at the grand Egyptian museum, he went and brought me some falafel, that was very very kind of him! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YEMANI for safe enriching tour! Next time i come im booking it with him again without even thinking twice ! It’s worth every penny !

The tour was an amazing experience. Abdo was an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and very patient with a large family. Would highly recommend this experience for a quality in-depth knowledge experience of Ancient Egypt!

Amazing pyramids tour and GEM visit! Ayat was patient, took great pictures and a top notch Egyptologist to answer all the questions about the dynasties. I would highly recommend this tour and try to get Ayat! Thanks again!

This was an amazing experience and Abdu was a very kind and knowledgeable guide. He was punctual and always open for questions. There was three of us and he was always considerate of how far my mother had to walk and found some shade for her and sat with her while I went inside the great pyramid. Lunch was included, and I informed him ahead of time that we were vegetarians, so Abdu took us to enjoy an authentic egytpian vegetarian dish that was absolutely delicious and had a spicy kick (Koshari I believe). It was so benefitial having Adbu help us navigate our exploration of the pyramids and the museum while providing historical and current information along the way. His knowledge of Egyptian history was very educational and helpful. We all loved it and I highly recommend this tour!

We had a brilliant tour of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Abdu was a fantastic guide and was so knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did he guide us but he also offered to take photos for us which made it feel like we had a photographer as well! Ideal! I would definitely recommend this tour!

Abdu was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable about so much Egyptian history and also the best photographer at the pyramids! He was fantastic in the Grand Egyptian Museum too and brought all the artefacts to life. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone

This was a great trip. Had so much fun. Abdu, our guide, was a GEM! So knowledgable, funny, engaging and patient. Ahmed, our driver, was a super driver. Calm & great driving.

Recently we booked a tour to see the Pyramids and the Grand Museum, this was a fantastic tour. Abdu, our guide, was so accomodating, patient, super knowledgeable and engaging. Def. will be booking more tour with him. Ahmed, our driver, he is a super driver. We were not used to the driving style but Ahmed was super vigilant. Absolutely loved the tour and highly recommend. Plus, Abdu is a great photographer.

The Grand Egypt Museum was fascinating and my guide, Abdu, was extremely knowledgeable. He did an amazing job explaining the history and artifacts, and graciously repeated information that I forgot along the way. He was patient and accommodating. There was much to see and learn and I wasn’t able to take it all in but will definitely return. I highly recommend booking with Abdu. I’m already planning a return trip to Egypt and I hope Abdu is available because I plan to book all of my tours with him.

Great tour around the Necropolis of Giza !! Hussam is super friendly, kind and funny!!! Totally recommended!!!!!!!!!

He is amazing good guide! I’m super happy to find him! 2 days we was together and we saw everything! Hussam is best guide! Number 1

Abdu is an amazing guide, kind, full of information to share, answered to all our many questions. The tour was tailored to our needs. We had a wonderful time. We got the chance to enter one pyramid paying an extra fee. We also enjoyed the new grand Egyptian museum. Everything was easy, from Pick-up to Drop-off. The car was clean and comfortable.

Abdu was a great guide! He texted us the day before to arrange pick up which was very easy. The driver Mahmood got us safe and sound to the different stops. Abdu is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job, explained so many interesting details and stories and answered our million questions. We had plenty of time to take in the different views, enter the main pyramid, take photos at the panoramic point and see the temple and the sphinx. We had delicious lunch too. The museum was gorgeous and it was brought to life with Abdu's explanations. Highly recommend!!

As you will know, if you google visiting the pyramids at all, it is worth getting a guide to get you there, to explain the history (there is little signage), and deter sellers. Abdu was great in all three of these aspects, and on top of that, he was a fantastic photographer 📸 Tour came with a driver as well, who would go off and park the car whilst we were sightseeing and pick us up when we were done, which made everything stress-free and easy. The pyramids speak for themselves - you must see them if you go to Cairo. The grand museum was also interesting and huge. It is partially closed at the moment, but still filled an hour and a half of our time.

Amazing pyramids and stunning Grand Egyptian museum! We enjoyed our trip and learnt a lot from Abdu about history! He also took a lot of great pictures and videos.

Hussam was a superb host , who made the whole day a memorable experience. His English was excellent, his dialogue genuinely interesting , the timing very thorough and yet very relaxed. Can't recommend highly enough. We learned and experienced so many things We were picked up and dropped off from a central Cairo hotel , visited the Pyramids , sphinx , Grand Egyptian museum , camel ride , clothes , oils and papyrus stores , and (our choice) a traditional Egyptian lunch. Great value for money , really happy we chose this trip.

We had 10 out of 10 experience! Our guide Abdu was amazing. Super professional, extremely knowledgeable, and entertaining. We had a day we will never forget. It made us fall in love with Egypt! Do not leave Egypt without booking this guide! If we didn't have him, we would of missed out on alot of meaning behind each artifact and history. We will definitely definitely recommend. Love from two Canadians.

Abdelrahman Hassan was very knowledgeable and courteous, we had a great time. He was patient with our questions and suggested best places for photographs , a very memorable experience

The tour was great—very well-organized and flexible with timing. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and even took plenty of photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience!

A beautiful, expansive building. There are still (in December 2024) quite a few treasures to be moved from the old museum including the mask of Tutankhamen but the exhibits are extensive and really well displayed. It will be difficult to see everything in a 1/2 day so an expert guide is a good idea.

Abdu was an absolutely fantastic guide to all things Egypt. Our time in Cairo with Abdu was great he is so knowledgeable in the vast ancient history as well as current Cairo/Giza area. We learned so much on our tours of both the pyramids area and the new GEM. He was patient with our questions and very informative in his answers. None of our questions were too mundane or difficult he had the answers and was happy to share his knowledge of the area. He is also a great photographer so if you sign up for his photo shoot at the pyramids you will not be disappointed at all! We have excellent photographs for our family and a new Egyptian theme Christmas cards this year! Abdu knows his stuff! You won’t be disappointed!

Fabulous day in Giza!! It was so memorable and Abdul helped throughout every moment of the day. He was so understanding and knowledgeable and we would highly recommend! Adding a camel ride was awesome for the kids.

Great to take in the pyramids and Giza area plus the incredible new GEM. Strongly recommend taking a guide, ours was fabulous (Habeba) - strong communications pre/during the trip, highly knowledgeable and happy to help with queries. I'd recommend before the tour making a list of key things you want to see so that you don't run out of time (going inside the Great pyramid for example, takes up a lot of the time of this tour) and don't make the detour to the tourist shops selling Papyrus etc

It was a very interesting tour, and it’s definitely worth visiting the museum, especially if you have a good guide like we did to explain everything to you! I recommend it!

If you visit Egypt you must go to grand Egyptian museum the largest in the world. Amazing museum and with abdu as your tour guide you will find out more about Egyptian history. I recommend abdu 100%
