WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Pyramids of Giza
our tour guide will pick up from your hotel to enjoy your pyramids day Of all of Egypt's major tourist attractions, only one is at the top of any list - the Pyramids of Giza. They're Egypt's three main pyramids, built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 B.C). The pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built as tombs for kings (and queens), and it was an exclusive honor to have such a tomb. However, this tradition only applied in the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Today there are more than 93 pyramids in Egypt; the most famous ones are those at Giza. Now let's go for a little tour around the site of the pyramids and try to explore the magnificence of the area:
2. Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
The famous Great Pyramid of Khufu is by far the biggest, tallest, and most intact pyramid in Egypt. After its construction, it became one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”, and today, it is the only one of them remaining. For a period of 4300 years, the pyramid was also the tallest building on earth, until the French built the Eiffel Tower in 1889. Khufu’s Pyramid is built entirely of limestone and is considered an architectural masterpiece. It contains around 1,300,000 blocks ranging in weight from 2.5 tons to 15 tons. Its square base covers 13 acres, and its sides measure about 230m (755ft). Its four sides face the four cardinal points precisely and it has an angle of 52 degrees
3.
Khafre's Pyramid, or the 2nd Pyramid, is easily recognizable by the layers of its original casing stones that still remain near its summit and this, along with the fact that it actually stands on a higher part of the plateau, gives the impression that it is taller than the Great Pyramid. An optical illusion, as it is only 136m (446 ft) tall, with sides of 214.5m (704ft), a surface area of 11 acres and an angle of 53 degrees. It also has lost some of its original height through the years, once being 143.5m (471ft) tall.
4.
Khafre's son, Menkaure, built the smallest of the 3 main pyramids on the Giza Plateau. This one was only a mere 65.5m (215ft) tall, nowadays 62m (203ft), with sides of 105m (344ft) and an angle of 51.3 degrees. It is thought that this pyramid was altered during its construction, and made a lot bigger than originally planned. The original, smaller pyramid had a simple descending corridor and burial chamber, but when it was enlarged, a new corridor was built with 3 portcullises and a small paneled chamber. Later still, another burial chamber, along with a storeroom were added at a lower level. This pyramid, like its 2 neighbors, has a north facing the entrance.
5. Great Sphinx
he Great Sphinx, or as the ancients knew it, “Shesep Ankh” or “the living image”, has to be one of the most recognizable constructions in history. Think of the Sphinx and you automatically think of Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Sculpted from soft sandstone, many believe that it would have disappeared long ago had it not been buried in the sand for so many long periods in its lifetime. The body is 60m (200ft) long and 20m (65ft) tall. Its face is 4m (13ft) wide with eyes measuring 2m (6ft) high. It faces the rising sun and was revered so much by the ancients, that they built a temple in front of it.
6. Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids
Sakkara (sometimes called Saqqara) is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in all of Egypt! It was the primary cemetery of the former capital of Egypt, Memphis, yet it is still one of the most unexplored archaeological sites, despite the amazing finds that have already been discovered? What else may be hidden among the site?
7. Mit Rahina Museum
The Open Air Museum at Memphis is one of the truly "must see" sites in Egypt! The trip from Cairo is only 45 minutes, the museum is only 20 Km to the south, and the entrance fee is an affordable then back to hotel

Thank you Islam (our driver) and Ehab (our guide) for giving us the best tour of Cairo. Ehab is so smart and knows all about ancient and current Egyptian history. He is not only a tour guide but also an archeologist! We have spent the last two days in Cairo with them. The first day going to the bazaars and Egyptian Museum. The second day going to Giza, Memphis, Sakkara Pyramid, and eating delicious Korshary after it all. Ehab is so friendly and knows everyone in Egypt! We are so happy to say that Ehab and Islam are our new Egyptian family.
We hope to be back soon! Thank you for taking such good care of us.

Yalla! 🫶🏼

This was by far the best tour I had in all of Egypt! Ahmed lead the most informative and beautifully guided tour of Memphis, Sakkara, and Giza. Any request we had to stop along the way, he brought us to. Ahmed is very intelligent and has local experience in Giza so you feel as though you are one of the locals. I highly recommend this day tour - you will not regret it!

Had a nice full day at the pyramids. The driver and guide showed up on time at my hotel and we went to Memphis to see the giant Rameses II statue (impressive) then onto the great stepped pyramid and the surrounding tombs. Then, after lunch, a went to the great pyramid complex and ended our tour at the sphinx. Checked a lot of boxes off the bucket list!

Ehab was our guide and he was very knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. We were able to ask any questions and he gave us insight on Egyptian life in the past and now. Ahmed was our driver and he was a safe driver and really nice.

The tour included going to the pyramids, sphinx, papyrus shop, gold/statue shop, Egyptian cotton shop, aromatherapy oils shop, lunch (not included in payment), the Egyptian civilization museum and the bazaar. It was about 8 hours.

There were three in our party, including my 13 year old son. We were all entertained and really happy we did this tour. We would definitely recommend this to anyone!
