This is the absolute Giza tour to book! - Best day in Egypt so far!
Everything was perfectly organized and customized to us and the guide, Rana, was the best we could have! And the whole tour, even though we saw many things, wasn’t exhausting as most of day tours thanks to the great organization, frequent stops in different kinds of places and a great driver taking us everywhere.
We started our day in Saqqara to see the Step pyramid and get inside the pyramid of Unas, the most beautiful on the inside and only one worth entering. On our way to Memphis we did a stop at a School of handmade carpets to see how the Egyptian carpets are being made, an optional stop which was really worth it!
In Memphis we saw the alabaster Sphinx and the impressive colossal sculpture of Ramses lying.
During the whole trip we learned a lot about ancient Egyptian history but also about modern Egypt.
On our way to Giza we did two more stops: one at a perfume and oil store (you won’t believe the scents there!) and one at a papyrus store to see how the papyrus is being made.
In Giza we avoided the big crowds inside the Cheops pyramid as our guide advised us (it’s a very high and tight climb and nothing really to see) and enjoyed the pyramids from the outside while riding our camels in a 60-minute ride. We ended our day at the best Koshary restaurant around!
Don’t miss the chance to enjoy this tour with Egypt Tours Gateway, you will have an informative, fun and hassle-free experience!

Amazing Pyramids Tour with Outstanding Guide! 10/10 - I recently went on a pyramids tour, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the service was top-notch. Our guide, Omar, was simply amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. His passion for Egypt’s history made the tour even more special.

Beautiful experience in CAIRO - Our guide, Rana, showed us all the most beautiful spots in this captivating city and immersed us in its rich history. She took care of every single detail, even allowing us to taste traditional local dishes. We explored the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, home to the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, and visited Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. At Giza, we marveled at the Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre, and stood in awe before the enigmatic Sphinx, one of the world’s most iconic monuments.
Absolutely recommended 😁
Professional!
