- Cairo - At 8:30 AM, your private driver and tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza to visit the Giza Pyramids, including Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. After exploring the Giza pyramids and capturing amazing photos, proceed to the Valley Temple of King Chephren, where the body of King Chephren, the builder of the second pyramid at Giza Plateau, was embalmed. From the Valley Temple, you can approach the Great Sphinx, the legendary guardian with the head of King Chephren and the body of a lion, standing by the vast funeral complex.
- Great Sphinx - Next, continue to the Great Sphinx, which features the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion. Dating back to the time of Khephren, this Sphinx was created to guard the pyramid of King Chephren and oversee the mummification process before burial. Then, proceed to the Grand Egyptian Museum.
- Grand Egyptian Museum - Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum for a private tour inside the conservation laboratories and the Great Hall. Spend three hours exploring artifacts relocated from the ancient Egyptian Museum, such as King Tut’s treasures and other relics.

An Amazing Experience! - The trip was one to truly remember! You will not be disappointed! We covered so much and our guide Menna is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! I most definitely recommend this tour! Be prepared when you enter the pyramid to climb!! Do not take anything extra inside just a small bottle of water! Happy exploring!

Ahmed Talaat, expert guide - Ahmed Talaat is an expert guide for Egypt. I spent a day with him and felt completely safe, even though I was alone in a foreign land. He is friendly and polite and so knowledgeable about Egyptian culture and history. He made the whole day much more enjoyable than it would have been without him. I was one of the last people out of the pyramid because I was taking so many pictures. But I knew that Ahmed would be waiting for me, and he was! Anytime I get to return to Egypt, I want to be sure and book a day or two with Ahmed. Talaat. The right guide makes all the difference in the quality of one's experience. Thank you again, Ahmed.

We would highly recommend this tour, our tour guide had so much knowledge about Egyptian history, he walked us through the museum explaining everything to us.

Absolutely great trip to the pyramids - We booked our trip to the pyramids via our hotel and we were more than positively surprised!
First of all the pick-up service at the hotel was perfectly on time and our guide Esraa knew very much not only about the pyramids but also about the city of Cairo and Gizeh.
Because of the Covid-Situation we had the whole complex almost for us alone and were able to take great pictures and also rented some camels for the full experience. When we wanted to buy something, took pictures or needed to know something, Esraa was a great help for us!
Thanks for the nice trip!
We can fully recommend to book it!

Fun Egyptian day trip - It’s was a great trip. Both men were nice. Spoke English well, helpful and knowledgeable First stop We went to a store but the shop owner and I couldn’t come to a deal to purchase the art I wanted to buy. I had wished Anmed would have intervened and told the shop owner to make some kind of money (deal) but I left with no art :(. Next was the pyramids among time and he took photos for me which was great. I invited him to join me for my lunch at the four seasons hotel and had a nice talked and learned a lot about him and Egypt. I highly recommend going with Ahmed and visit all the wonderful sights while visiting abroad.
