What To Expect
Pyramids of Giza
On this private half-day tour, journey back in time to witness one of the last standing wonders of the ancient world: the Great Pyramids of Giza and their iconic guardian, the Sphinx. Accompanied by an expert Egyptologist guide, enjoy an intriguing introduction to the Pyramids of Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. You’ll have free time to enter the pyramids (extra ticket required; guides are not permitted inside). Next, enjoy a memorable 20-minute camel ride—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Afterward, capture breathtaking photos on the plateau with all three pyramids as your backdrop. Conclude the tour at the feet of the mighty Sphinx, a timeless symbol of power and mystery, before your return journey.
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
The Great Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, is the largest and most impressive of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Standing at 146.6 meters (481 feet), it was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu, it is a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and precision. The pyramid originally featured a smooth limestone casing, reflecting sunlight and giving it a brilliant appearance. Inside, it houses the King’s Chamber, containing a sarcophagus, and an intricate network of passages and chambers. The Great Pyramid remains an enduring symbol of ancient Egypt’s architectural marvels, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at its scale and historical significance.

5.00I visited the pyramids as a solo traveler. My guide was Yasmine and driver Hejazy. They were both truly amazing. They offer pick up and drop off , they were extremely flexible with my programme, really friendly and also helped with advice. Tour with jasmine was more than enjoyable. Everything felt extremely safe and I can strongly recommend them to everyone who wants to go to the pyramids with local guides.
Experience of a LIFETIME!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Cairo Experience — Highly Recommend Mohamed Reda & Hegazy Our tour with Mohamed Reda and Hegazy was truly the highlight of our trip to Egypt. From hotel pickup to the final drop-off, everything was seamless, informative, and unforgettable. Mohamed’s knowledge of Egyptian history is unbelievable. He explained every detail of the Pyramids, Sphinx, and all the sites we visited with passion and clarity—far beyond anything listed in the tour description. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire day special. We also loved the personal touches: a fantastic local lunch, stops for authentic herbs and oils, beautiful artwork, and of course the ATV ride through the desert, which exceeded all expectations. It was a full and amazing day from 9 AM to 3 PM, and we left feeling like we truly experienced Egypt. We’re already planning to come back and tour with Mohamed again. 1000000% recommend—thank you both for an unforgettable experience! We made friends today!!!

5.00We had an amazing pyramids tour with Amal, whose deep knowledge and genuine passion for ancient Egypt made the entire experience unforgettable. She brought the history of the Great Pyramids to life with vivid explanations and fascinating stories, helping us truly appreciate their scale and significance. Her guidance at the Sphinx was equally impressive; she showed us all the best viewpoints, shared incredible insights, and made the moment feel truly special. Amal is a brilliant Egyptologist and a joy to tour with! We cannot recommend her enough!!!
