Cairo: Guided Pyramids and Egyptian Museum Tour

1. Cairo: Guided Pyramids and Egyptian Museum Tour

With an Egyptologist guide leading the way, this Cairo day trip lets you visit iconic ancient Egyptian sites including the Pyramids of Giza and Great Sphinx, followed by a visit to the Egyptian Museum. You can choose to take a private tour, or join a group tour. Your guided tour begins at the Great Pyramids of Giza. This iconic site is home to three large ancient Egyptian pyramids, as well as the Great Sphinx and remains of a workers’ village. The biggest attraction is the Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu which is commonly known as the Great Pyramid. It is the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The magnificent structure is an amazing testimony to the ingenuity of ancient Egyptian builders thousands of years ago.  The much-photographed Pyramid of Khafre or Chephren is the only one of the three pyramids which retains some of the original limestone casing. The smaller Pyramid of Menkaure or Mykerinos makes up the trio. There are several optional activities available around the pyramid complex including camel rides, horse and carriage rides, Nile river cruises and entrance to the interior of the pyramids. These activities are optional and incur additional fees to be paid on the day. No visit to the Giza Pyramid complex would be complete without a close-up look at the mysterious Great Sphinx. With a long and troubled history, this half-pharoah, half-lion monument has intrigued travelers to Egypt for centuries. Who is the face of the Sphinx? You can also visit the Valley Temple which belongs to the pyramid of Khafre. The temple served an important role in the preparation and mummification of the king before burial. Having an Egyptologist guide on hand during your visit to Giza will certainly come in handy with such a rich history.  Not far from the pyramids you will have a short stop at the Institute of Papyrus. Here you can see how ancient Egyptians made the first paper in the world. Test out your bargaining skills and negotiate a good price for a papyrus souvenir to take home. Enjoy an optional lunch at a restaurant in Cairo before continuing to the world-famous Egyptian Museum. The museum is home to an immense collection of rare and valuable artifacts from the pharaonic period including mummies, chariots, jewelry and everyday items. Mostly famously the Egyptian Museum is home to a mesmerizing exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen's collection of treasure, gold and jewelry. The glittering artifacts were discovered untouched in King Tut’s sealed burial chamber in 1922 by Howard Carter. With more than 250,000 artifacts, your Egyptologist guide will once again guide you through the fascinating history of ancient Egypt, and help you navigate the jam-packed museum. Your Cairo day trip concludes with transfer back to your hotel.

Definitely recommend this day-trip from Cairo. Nice change of pace outside of the city and the water is beautiful. We paid for the jet ski option but it wasn’t functioning when we arrived but they had tubing and a banana boat which we really enjoyed. Mohammed was our guide and was really friendly and helpful through the day.

We left Cairo by car with a guide and driver and headed to the Red Sea beach. The trip is long but when we arrived we stayed in a hotel room where we can change and then we went to the beach. Later we had lunch at the hotel in the buffet mode. Then we head back to Cairo to our hotel.

The tour was great. We requested a few last minute modifications and it was solved. Our guide was professional and friendly. We travelled with small kids and they also enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended activity.

A lovely trip outside Cairo, the swim in the Red Sea was nice and warm. Fares was our guide we couldn’t have asked for better he arrived on time and got us everything we needed including snacks for the beach.

The whole experience was amazing. Our tour guide Asmaa took care of everything and went beyond.
