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!

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!

We had an amazing experience with our guide Sayed Mahmoud and driver Hasan Hosny. Our toddler was so unwell however they were the most patient and caring guides we could have asked for. They catered to all our needs ensuring we were okay and able to continue or amend the tour to suit. We learnt so much about Giza and its amazing history. I wish we had more time to explore with them. Thank you Sayed and Hasan! Highly recommend

Overall good experience BUT: 1. Driver and Guide made several stops in local stores that we did not ask. 2. At the moment we arrive at the Grand Pyramid we felt like the guide was rushing because it was late because of the many unnecessary stops. 3. They need to dedicate more time and information about the grand pyramid and Sphinx.
