Tour was nice, but tour guide was not really involved into sharing Egypt culture as expected. Good car, clean and all staff with proper usage of mask.

Day Trip Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and head to Giza for the same guided tour of the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids, as described in the half-day option.

At lunchtime, we stop to enjoy a typical menu, which includes, among other dishes, delicious grilled chicken kebabs with vegetables, hummus, tahini, and Arabic bread. For dessert: sweet pastries and a refreshing fruit salad.

Then, with the energy to face the afternoon, we'll make our way to the Saqqara necropolis, one of the most important links we have to the history of ancient Egypt, where, amongst other things, you can see the pyramid of Pharaoh Zoser: the first of Egypt's great pyramids.

In Saqqara, we will also visit one of the noble tombs of the necropolis. Our final stop will be Memphis, the old capital of Egypt, a real open-air museum where you can see, among other monuments, the impressive sculpture of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphynx.

The tour then ends back at your hotel after 8 hours.

Inside the Pyramids

If you’re brave enough and don’t mind tight, enclosed spaces, you can choose to go inside the pyramids. You can visit either the Khafre, or Menkaure pyramids for 300EGP, or, if you prefer, take on the Great Pyramid of Cheops for 1500EGP, which is highly recommended. Due to time constraints, visiting all three pyramids won’t be possible. Tickets are purchased on-site, and payment must be made in cash and local currency.
