Visit the Great Pyramids of Giza
Drive to Giza Necropolis to see the last remaining wonder of the seven wonders of the ancient world: the Great Pyramid. You will hear stories about the people and Pharaohs who built the pyramids over 4,500 years ago, and have the chance to explore these ancient structures with your expert Egyptologist guide. Optional additions at Giza include a camel ride or entry to the burial chamber inside the Great Pyramid.
See the Great Sphinx of Giza
The Great Sphinx of Giza has stood watch over the Great Pyramids of Giza for thousands of years. It is made from the limestone of Giza Plateau itself, and is one of the largest carved statues in the world.
Visit the Saqqara Necropolis and the Step Pyramid of Djoser
Saqqara is home to the oldest stone building in history: the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Here you will learn about the architect-engineer Imhotep, later deified by ancient worshippers. You will have the chance to beautifully decorated Old Kingdom tombs and view the pyramid texts inscribed inside. This visit will give you insight into the tremendous skill of ancient craftsmen and offer glimpses of daily and religious life thousands of years ago.
Return to your hotel for dinner on your own. As an optional add-on, enjoy a Nile dinner cruise, or a sound and light show at the Great Pyramid.
After breakfast, your driver and guide will pick you up at your Cairo hotel and travel with you throughout your day.
Tour the Grand Egyptian Museum
Enjoy a guided visit of Egypt’s history with an expert eye at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the largest museum ever made to focus on a single civilization - from pre-dynastic antiquity to the present. During your visit, you’ll see the grand treasure of King Tutankhamun, on display for the first time in its entirety since 1922, and come face to face with the gilded mask of a king.
Visit the Citadel of Saladin and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali
Spend time getting acquainted with the vibrant city of Cairo, and learn more about the history of Africa’s largest city. You will explore the medieval Citadel of Saladin, built in the 12th century to overlook the city and defend the city from incoming Crusaders. This striking complex is now a UNESCO world heritage site.

Each day’s tour is a full day, estimating 8 to 10 hours - though we have built in plenty of time to rest, enjoy a coffee or a meal, or explore on your own.
This is a walking-intensive tour, primarily on flat ground.
The visitor platforms at Giza Necropolis and the Grand Egyptian Museum are all fully handicapped accessible. Visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx requires some walking over flat but uneven ground and sand. The interior of the Great Pyramid involves a steep climb on wooden sledges and some areas with very low ceilings where crouching is required.
The optional visit to the burial chamber of the Great Pyramid includes narrow passages and low areas that you must crouch or crawl to access.
Tipping is greatly appreciated, based on the quality of the service you receive. We suggest around $5-$8 per day for your driver, and $10-$15 per day for guides. Tipping can be done in cash, either as Egyptian pounds, US dollars or Euros. For non-Egyptian currency, bills in good condition (no rips or tears) are preferred.
Comfortable, closed-toe walking or athletic shoes are recommended as there may be areas with uneven pavement. Locals in Egypt often dress modestly, so visitors often feel more comfortable in clothes that cover their shoulders and knees (t-shirts or long sleeved shirts, capris, pants). You may wish to bring a hat for sun protection, as well as a scarf or light jacket for evening.
Licensed tour guides must maintain a certification from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, along with membership in the Egyptian General Tourist Guide Syndicate. These certifications ensure that our guides are fully approved and registered as professionals with the Egyptian government authorities.
