Full description

Embark on a full-day tour to the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, Memphis, and Sakkara from Cairo. Learn about the treasures of the ancient world with your guide and enjoy a delicious lunch. Start your tour by visiting the Great Pyramids - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. The highlight of this section is getting close up to the Sphinx - the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren.

Admire the impressive statue and get your photo taken beside it. You will then visit Sakkara, a 27 km journey away from Cairo. The highlight of this section is the Step Pyramid. Built for King Zoser, it is considered an important part of the process of the pyramid evolution. Finally, you'll head over to Memphis. Not the home of Elvis, of course, but the ancient capital of Egypt!

We were extremely lucky to have Ola as our guide, who was absolutely exceptional and a true expert with 11 years of experience. She took great care of us, gave us lots of good advice, made us feel perfectly safe with her and let us be completely guided, we didn’t need to think about anything. She shared all her wonderful knowledge with passion and humor throughout the day. The tour was complete, we didn't feel like we were in a rush, and we found all the steps magnificent. The restaurant was very good, only the drinks in the restaurant are not covered, but we had been warned by Ola. Our driver was also very attentive and we had no scares, he's a very good driver. We're delighted that we chose to be accompanied by a guide, as it would have been very, very complicated to do the same tour on our own. We are grateful for this exceptional tour, and highly recommend it. Charlotte & Alex

Absolutely incredible! Our guide Essam was brilliant and knowledgeable. We liked how it was just us, the guide and the driver so we could go at our own pace. We learned lots of the history of all three locations. We spent enough time at the pyramids. Essam was an incredible photographer and we have some professional looking photos. He spoke good English and told the stories and facts in a fun way. He provided lots of water and some snacks. Memphis and Saqquara were also very interesting. Recommend doing the camel ride as part of the ticket, it was very fun and not scary at all. We didn’t have to pay for anything extra as it’s all bought within the ticket and our guide sorted everything and lead the way. Lunch was good and authentic, a bit later at 3pm. Thank you Essam and our driver Mohammad for an unforgettable day!

This was a great trip, Aml was our trip leader and she was very knowledgeable and patient. We did go to extra places not listed on the itinerary, like to a papyrus store where they show you how they make it but then they try to sell you stuff. So just be ready to try to be sold stuff. Also bring money to tip, they want you to tip everyone, even if it’s just a dollar or two. We had a private driver who was great and a great lunch, but the drinks did cost extra so be aware. We wish we had more time to enjoy the pyramids of Giza before moving to the next place, so if you want more time just ask your guide!
