Full description

Embark on a full-day tour to the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, Memphis, and Sakkara from Cairo. Learn about the treasures of the ancient world with your guide and enjoy a delicious lunch. Start your tour by visiting the Great Pyramids - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. The highlight of this section is getting close up to the Sphinx - the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren.

Admire the impressive statue and get your photo taken beside it. You will then visit Sakkara, a 27 km journey away from Cairo. The highlight of this section is the Step Pyramid. Built for King Zoser, it is considered an important part of the process of the pyramid evolution. Finally, you'll head over to Memphis. Not the home of Elvis, of course, but the ancient capital of Egypt!

This tour was amazing! Our guide Nesma was wonderful. Very knowledge about the history of ancient Egypt and let us personalize parts of the tour (skip places and stay longer in others etc.) plus she knew all the best photos spots! Tour was on time and pick up was smooth. You get a lot of bang for your buck in this tour. The lunch spot that is included is also really delicious.

I would recommend the private tour especially in Summer when it's very hot. This way you can change the itinerary of the tour if the situation asks for it, like skipping something or staying somewhere longer. Also it makes it possible to stop somewhere spontaneously, which is a bit difficult in a group. The guide was a professional, knew a lot of information. It was nice to talk about the pyramids with him, also about such theories usually not mentioned officially. The guide and the driver very very polite and always opened the car doors for us very time we got in or out.

Our guide Mamdouh Kamal and driver Saied we're excellent. Amazing command of history l, great explanations, air conditioned van with cold water and fresh fruit. Made pick ups and drop offs seamless. No waiting in lines - can't say enough about this tour! Giza, real camel ride, Memphis, Saqqar, etc.
