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.

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.

An amazing way to kick off our trip to Egypt

5.00We did the Private Guided Tour to the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx on our very first day, and it was such a cool and memorable experience. Everything was smooth from the start. We were picked up right from our hotel and dropped off after, which made things super easy. The tour was completely private and personal, which we loved. Our guide, Hend, was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, and we learned so much from her about the history and significance of the pyramids and the Sphinx. Our driver, Amr, was also fantastic and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. After the main sites, we visited a few local shops — there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything, just a chance to see some local crafts and learn more about Egyptian culture. We took tons of amazing photos and felt like we really got a great introduction to the country. Highly recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time in Egypt!

1st time in Egypt. Pyramids and Guide, Hamdy

5.00I've booked several travel plans with Viator. They really do have the best. Hamdy was out guide. Hamdy was probably one of the best tour guides we've had out of all the countries we've traveled to on the past. Hamdy was very punctual, reachi g out to us the night before to coordinate. Egypt, while beautiful, is hampered with crooks who are very clever in their manipulation tactics towards tourists. Hamdy quickly warned us and gave us instructions on what to stay away from. Very useful as 1st time visitors. He speaks 14 languages making it easy for him not only to communicate with us and locals, but other tourists as well. That was very useful. Additionally, he would let us know who was honest, and who were crooks. If you're interested in seeing the Pyramids, I can say from experience, bar none this would be the one to book!

5.00Muhammad Saeed, my guide, is excellent-ask for him if you can! He made me feel very comfortable as a solo traveler. He added experiences to my tour that were enjoyable. I highly recommend him and the driver that he arranged to take us all over-great team!

5.00‘H’ was my tour guide today. He was polite, knowledgeable and wanted to make sure that you understood the history and culture of the ancient Egyptians. He was a good listener and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend this tour and ‘H’ as your guide.
