Start your tour by visiting the Great Pyramids - Giza Plateau, home to Egypt’s greatest legacy and the last standing wonder of the ancient world. Here, on the edge of the golden desert, rise the magnificent pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure — eternal monuments that have captivated explorers, scholars, and travelers for over 4,500 years. Every stone, every pathway, and every panoramic view in Giza tells a story of power, mystery, and unmatched human achievement. Today, you are invited to relive history, step where the Pharaohs once stood, and witness the magic of ancient Egypt unfold before your eyes.
Photo Stop After entering take the shuttle bus to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic stop where all three pyramids line up in one unforgettable frame. This is the perfect place for photos, desert views, and even an optional camel or horseback ride — a truly iconic Giza experience.
the largest ever built in Egypt and the crown jewel of the Giza Plateau. Standing at an impressive height of 146 meters in antiquity, this architectural masterpiece was constructed using more than 2 million limestone blocks, each carefully placed with extraordinary precision. As you walk around its massive base, you’ll feel the overwhelming scale of this ancient wonder and learn about the brilliant engineering techniques that continue to puzzle experts to this day.( you can buy your ticket if you want to get inside the pyramids itself )
Next, you will explore the Pyramid of Khafre, easily recognized by the remains of its smooth casing stones at the apex. Positioned on higher ground, it creates the illusion of being taller than Khufu’s. Here, you’ll uncover the fascinating story of the Pharaoh Khafre and his role in shaping Egypt’s golden age.
Stop to visit the smallest pyramids of the family
The Great Sphinx& the valley temple Your tour continues to one of the world’s most iconic monuments: the Great Sphinx. Carved from a single limestone outcrop, this majestic guardian — with the body of a lion and the head of a king — has watched over the plateau for millennia. Here, you’ll uncover the legends, myths, and secrets that surround this mysterious figure. Just beside the Sphinx lies the Valley Temple, a key site in the funerary rituals of ancient Egypt. With its polished granite and limestone interior, this remarkably preserved temple reveals the sacred process of mummification and royal burial ceremonies.
Saqqara is one of several other notable necropolis sites near Cairo that offer impressive sights and hold great archaeological significance. In fact, Saqqara may hold more interest to archaeologists than Giza. The huge site hosts burials dating from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom up through the Greek Period of Egyptian history. The most famous structure by far at Saqqara is Djoser’s Step Pyramid. Dating from the 3rd dynasty (2667—2448 BC), it was the first all-stone complex ever built on earth. It also displays an important architectural innovation for the construction of the Giza Pyramids and other later pyramids in the 4th dynasty and later. Djoser’s pyramid was the first to use multiple mastabas (rectangular tomb structures) stacked on top of one another to form a step pyramid. ( You can buy any optional ticket in your own to enter the pyramid or some tombs )
Visit Dahshur Pyramids, the Red and the Bend Pyramids both belongs to SNEFRU the Pharaoh of the 4th dynasty 2600 BC, they are as old and big as Giza Pyramids. The red Pyramid is the first (perfect) pyramid built in Egypt. The bend Pyramid with its unique shape found no where else except in Dahshur. Watch the desert landscapes around the area and take more photos everywhere. Later you will get a comfortable transfer back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza
Had a great day with my guide Sara and our smooth driver Islam. Felt like spending a day with friends, with the added bonus of Sara's knowledge, passion and openess. Will remain a sweet memory, thank you 🙏
Seeing the Pyramids was mesmerizing. Big thanks to our guide Ashraf, he was the best. He was patient with us, taught us so much, and made sure we had the absolute best experience! Great photographer as well :) It was definitely the experience of a lifetime. Would highly recommend!
In 20 yrs of visiting the Giza Pyramids it was the best visit. Tickets easy n straightforward to purchase at office. No hassle on the actual plateau, tourist police polite. Only down side, is still having the horse drawn carriages over loaded with people so poor horse is struggling to pull it.
Sam was such a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The tomb in saqqara is a must! Follow his tips and you will have a great day.
We were able to have a full day of pyramids, a must in Egypt. Ashraf was great, with vast knowledge and very helpful.
This was an amazing trip with a professional, knowledgeable, and wonderful guide Mohammed. He spoke good English and provided a lot of educational information on the history of the pyramids. He had a great sense of humor and took the best photos too. The tour was excellent, especially if trying to see multiple sites in a day. I have always been fascinated by the pyramids and was curious to see them in other sites other than the main site in Giza. Thank you Mohamed for a day well spent and the best photos!
This is a great tour to know all about the evolution of the pyramids, from the mastabas to the Giza pyramids, from trial and error to the perfection of the pyramids of the 4th Dinasty. Ashraf is the perfect guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and lets you appreciate everything at your own pace. I really recommend this tour.
Terrific to see all of the pyramids of the Cairo area in one day, absolutely fantastic. We had great service, and our guide shared numerous helpful pointers while also letting us get on with the tour in our own right and enjoy the sites in peace. Saqqara in particular is one of the greatest sites in all of Egypt, the Pyramid of Unas is worth going into to see the Pyramid Texts and a hidden drawing of the king. The bent pyramid is a tough climb btw, and there were bats roosting in its summit! Like the souls of the dead :). Quite an incredible trip.
We spent the whole day with Ashraf visiting the archaeological wonders of Cairo and it was a wonderful experience. Our 5-year-old son had a blast entering a pyramid and the guide's explanations were very complete and super interesting.
Had Sam as my guide, he definitely knows his stuff, had a great day looking at pyramids would highly recommend a tour with Sam
Our guide Sameh is very kind and professional. He is friendly but at the same time gives you space. He is a knowledgeable man, he explained us the history, answered all the questions not only about these sites but also about Egypt in general and he gave us good tips. It's better to do this tour than to try doing the same visit by yourself because the sites are far from each other and you will lose a lot of time.
Amazing tour!! Could not recommend more. Very educative but not too much tiring info. Interesting key points that we can remember afterwards! Our tour guide Sameh spoke English perfectly, was very helpful and protected us from all kinds of scams. He was as well very flexible as we didn’t have much time in Cairo and wanted to see the Egyptian museum as well so he maneuvered everything and took us to the museum as well. Thank you Sam.
We did our tour on 27 Nov 2021. Our guide was Ashraf (Rafa). The hotel pickup was right on time, as scheduled. Rafa was very informative and also entertaining, we exchanged opinions and versions about the Pyramids and some fun stories from his experience as a guide. We specifically requested no animal rides nor shopping stops and Rafa took all this into account. The tour was pretty long and tiring but we managed to see everything we wanted, we also enjoyed that the guide was eager to take us many pictures from all possible places. We reccommend this tour and this guide and we wish the company many more happy travellers!
It was a great trip. Ashraf is very friendly and cultured man. He told us everything about pyramids and ancient Egypt. He is a good photographer, he took lots of interesting photos of us in pyramid area. He also helped us for getting pcr test results so we are really greatful. Do not hesitate to go a tour with him
The best part about this amazing tour was our guide - Sam! He made all the difference. What I loved is that he didn’t just give facts - he gave us the story of it and made it very interesting and brought this ancient history to life. Also he did it with a smile and humor. He went above and beyond for us and this was during Ramadan where he was fasting and it literally was 105 in Cairo. I plan on going back to Cairo and my first request will be if Sam is available.
We could not have been more impressed with Sam our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited. He went out of his way to make sure our visit was the trip of a lifetime. We are very grateful to Sam for making our stay so enjoyable. By the end of the trip we felt like he was part of the family.
Sam is a great tour guide who did a lot for me as a solo traveler. Will come back again with family !
Our guide, I forget his name but he told us to call him Rafael if we could not pronounce it, was one of the best guides we have had in Egypt. He was very informative and affordable. He was the only guide that did not push us to leave a good review. He also gave us plenty of opportunities to take photo’s. I will say that we did not expect to go to the Papyrus shop or the Perfume shop, which he makes a small commission off of, but regardless both shops had quality items and we appreciated learning how to make Papyrus. I highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors to the Pyramids!
Sameh was our guide for the day and was extremely knowledgeable and so accommodating to us. We started in Sakkara, went to Memphis then finished in Giza. Sameh made the day unique to what we wanted to see and gave us useful tips and local hints. Thank you Sameh for a great day!
We had a fantastic time on our one day trip with Sameh. He was extremely professional, listened and catered to our requests on where to go, what to do, worked in timing for food, and gave advice for reasonable tip amounts for each activities. At no point did I feel like he was pushy which was great compared to some of the sales people that come up to you. The transportation was clean and comfortable, would highly recommend!!
The one day tour to Sakara, Memphis and Giza with Sameh has been exceptional. Extremely informative and knowledgeable about all things history. He made the tour interactive and answered all our questions we had. He was able to give recommendation on prices and is a lovely man. I would highly recommend this egyptian man, trustworthy and honest. Hopefully we will see him again when we come back to visit.
Sameh was an excellent guide and took care of us all day - he was very informative and has a good command of English. He was flexible with our schedule as a private group of 6 and adapted it to suit our needs, being clear what was optional. I especially liked his drawings of the ancient Egypt history!
We had the perfect day exploring Saqqara and Giza! Sameh was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and was very helpful with all aspects of the tour.
Sam was a very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. Was very helpful and considerate. Helped us get place to place in a safe and quick fashion. Would highly recommend to other people wanted to take a tour in Egypt.
Sam was an excellent tour guide. He was really knowledgeable and could answer any questions I had about the country. The tour was safe. He wore a mask and gave us free hand sanitizer to clean our hands. I felt completely at ease and safe while on tour. I would recommend going.
I had an experienced tour guide, he facilitated everything. The experience was amazing, recommend to give it a try.
Wonderful experience , Mohammed was a great tour guide ,, he went out of his way to make sure that we are enjoying our time ,, great service , Highly recommended
Sam is a top guide, an excellent connoisseur of Egyptology and extremely kind and professional. After today, my satisfaction is at the absolute highest possible level. I traveled during the current coronavirus and it was a rade privilege to be the only visitor to all the sites. This gave me a unique opportunity to listen in complete silence very interesting stories about ancient Egypt and the construction of the pyramids. As a world traveler, I have rarely met such a good and highly educated guide. Given certain recent experiences in Cairo, my recommendation to all travelers coming here for the first time would be to visit the sights of Saqqara, Dahshur and Giza with Sam as your guide.
The day started early because of the heat. After arriving at the pyramids the excitement started. A camel ride with pictures. Up close to the pyramids and Sphinx for more pictures. Our guide was excellent!
It was definitely an eye opener when we arrived in Egypt but you made us feel at ease with your smooth driving and great stories, giving one of boys the name Tolon We met Sammeh the next morning, such a charismatic gentleman, that took us on an amazing journey of the all mighty ancient Egyptian people. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us On behalf of my Tapusoa family from New Zealand we thank you and appreciate all you did for us
Throughout our stay in Egypt so far, my Nan and I had a safe and amazing time with the tour. We had a tour guild named: Sam. Sam was amazing, always organised and had plenty to tell. I would love to have Sam as a tour guild again, he's caring, safe and makes sure things get done. P.S. He should get assigned more jobs, he's excellent.
Knowlegable guide, comfortable car, well planned, decently priced attractions and stores. Nothing to complain about.
Our group of four adults went on the tour with Sameh and had a fantastic time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history bringing the sites to life. He was great about offering different activities we could do in addition to the main ones at no extra cost but did not pressure us into anything. He also gave great tips on what to take time for and what to avoid. We had a fantastic time would highly recommend it!
The tour was worth the cost ($30 USD). My guide and driver - both named Mohamed - were very nice and helpful and spoke English.Visiting the sites we took many photos and I learned many things about the sites and history.
Emad was a fantastic guide. Your Spanish is perfect and you have a great knowledge of all tourist attractions. Also, it is very attentive and close. We would definitely recommend it.
Notre guide Shawky et le chauffeur ont été parfaits tous les deux, Shawky parle bien français, il connaît très bien l'histoire des sites des pyramides, il est sympa, efficace et très honnête Le chauffeur conduit prudemment et il était toujours prêt à partir quand nous avions terminé chaque site
We did the complete tour which was sensational. Very good. The guide knew a lot and explained everything to us. It took us to places that were not even in the plan. We like it and recommend it very well.
