What To Expect
Pyramids of Giza
The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser, which was built c. 2630–2610 BC during the Third Dynasty.This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.
Great Sphinx

A day in Cairo

5.00It’s a long ride from Alexandria to Cairo, but worth every second to witness the grandeur of the pyramids of Giza. Our guide, Weessm, an absolutely wonderful. She took care of us throughout the whole day, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the day. She is knowledgeable and good at telling the story of Egypt. Needless to say, our driver also expertly navigated the traffic. The only suggestion I would make is to be sure to ask for a car that will comfortably accommodate the number in your party. It was a little difficult for us to crawl in the back for third row seating, however we made it work. Again can’t express enough, how easy this was with our guide and driver.
Nice experience

5.00This is a tour that must be booked if you have plans to go to Cairo. Youssef is so good, he guided us to the things that makes our tour very memorable and enjoyable. First we went to the Pyramids of Giza, went inside on one of the pyramids which is a an experience of a lifetime! After we rode a camel, more photos with the Great Sphinx, lunch and on to the new Alexandria Museum which is an awesome place. Youseff our guide is so knowledgeable and he is very patient in giving us the information on our questions. He is not only our guide but he also became our photographer. He took amazing photos and videos. If you book this tour request for Youseef.

5.00A perfect experience from Alexandria Port to The Great Pyramids of Giza! WOW. Wessam was an excellent guide and was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of her country and ancient Egyptian civilization. She kept us informed of each step of the journey and provided guidance. We felt very safe. Achmed was such a considerate and talented driver to navigate the almost 3 hour drive to and from the Pyramids. It is an experience in and of itself! The van was comfortable for all 10 of us and we stopped along the way for water and bio breaks. The lunch buffet in the Cairo restaurant was lovely. The day could not have been better. The hospitality was wonderful and made this a memorable experience for a lifetime!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Ghada. She was a terrific tour guide and provided a lot of information about Alexandria and Cairo. Can’t say enough about how she made our experience. Awesome. Kudos on a job well done. Karam did a fabulous job driving. Made us feel safe. Only one downside, the air conditioning went out as we were coming back. Otherwise, he did a great job.
