Cairo/Giza: Guided Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum Tour

Cairo/Giza: Guided Pyramids, Sphinx 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.

From the beginning to the end, my tour was amazing!!! Every little bit of it!! My flight from Cairo to Luxor was delayed (by a lot) and despite my frustration.. the communication was clear and they had a solution to the inconvenience. Because our flight was delayed by a lot, they paid for a hotel for us to stay at until our flight! I almost wanted to cry because I thought we were going to miss out ballon over Luxor but they also assured us that we will make it. We sure did but we were very very tired!! Luckily me and my husband are relatively young and stuck through it. All accommodations were wonderful! We were worried about the cruise, but that ended up being the best (great water pressure and comfortable beds)!!! They used a local guide company called Nice Travels for the guides I believe!! Highly rec!

I am a Japanese man traveling alone. I wanted to go to Luxor and Aswan as well as Cairo in a short time, so this tour was perfect for me! The guide and driver were very friendly and nice, and they showed me around one-on-one. They picked me up and dropped me off on time, and the breakfast and lunch were delicious, so it was a very satisfying tour. Thank you. If I had to say something, I would say to be careful if you go to Aswan and Luxor, because you will be taken to souvenir shops and essential oil stores that you are not interested in, and they will sell you products at high prices.

I highly recommend this trip. it's the perfect way to explore Egypt and it's so well organized, we were amazed! We felt so secure thanks to the operator, Marina, who was available for each and every questions and updated us daily of our activities. We had such a wonderful time visiting all the sites and enjoyed beautiful tours with the guides, the cruise was unbelievable, the food amazing...only high praises!

I loved this activity. Nice car, they got me breakfast and snacks and tea on the ride. The guide was knowledgeable and the felluca ride was lovely. They were very accommodating about my schedule as well.

Mohamed Abdol was a brilliant guide and made the trip very special, excellent service
