Highlights
  • Gizeh Plateau - Begins at 8:00 am. You’ll be picked up from your Cairo hotel by our expert tour guide and transferred to Giza City in a private A/C vehicle. Your day starts with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, where you’ll see the Great Pyramids: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Cheops is the largest pyramid ever built. Next, visit the Valley Temple, where bodies were mummified. Here, you can also get a close-up look at the Sphinx, a massive funerary complex guarded by a lion’s body with the face of King Chephren.

  • Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found, but the site remains unexcavated. The valley temple was connected to a causeway, which was largely destroyed when the village was built.

  • Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple. The mortuary temple also contained several statues of Menkaure.

  • Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple contained several statues of Khafre, some of which were found in a well in the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.

  • Great Sphinx - The Sphinx is a massive funerary complex guarded by a lion’s body with the face of King Chephren.

Marvel at these majestic structures from all angles and take in their breathtaking beauty. Our expert guides will provide fascinating insights into the history and significance of the pyramids, making this an unforgettable experience.

  • Cairo Citadel - Visit the Citadel of Saladin, where you’ll see the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque.

  • Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary) - Visit the Hanging Church.

  • Synagogue Ben Ezra - Explore Old Cairo, also known as Christian Coptic Cairo, one of the most important locations visited by the Holy Family. Though their stay was brief, the spiritual impact of their presence is still felt. The Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergious) was built above a cave where they took shelter. This area, including the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage destination for Egyptians and Christians worldwide. The district exudes an air of piety and devotion. You can also visit the Church of Abu-Sergah, St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the old Jewish synagogue, Ben Ezra Synagogue.

  • Khan Al-Khalili - Conclude your day with a visit to Khan El Khalili Bazaars. Shops in this district are famous for fine brassware, copper, perfumes, leather, silver, gold, antiques, and more. At the end of the day, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel.

Full Day Tour with Mo Salah (no, not the footballer!) - I had a good day out with Mo Salah for my long-awaited first visit to see the pyramids. He was punctual (which I value highly) as well as friendly from the outset so we were off to a good start! It was quite a packed day involving four separate stops (albeit relatively close to one another), but Mo's calm and relaxed approach made things go very smoothly. Mo was also really good at taking those really cheesy photos that are undoubtedly a must-do when visiting Giza for the first time. You may cringe at the time but you'll surely appreciate the photos later! I booked via Emo Tours because they were one of very few providers that didn't ridiculously inflate prices for solo travellers, and also because they had very good reviews. All in all, a successful visit to see the many pyramids in the area - highly recommended!
