Your private guide and driver will meet you at the exit gate of Alexandria Port and escort you to Cairo on a comfortable, air-conditioned drive of approximately three hours. Upon arrival, your professional English-speaking Egyptologist will begin a guided tour of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Your day starts with the ultimate highlight: the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. Explore the legendary Great Pyramid of King Cheops, the only surviving wonder of the ancient world and a true symbol of eternity. Dating back over 4,600 years, this architectural masterpiece will leave you in awe with its massive stone blocks, impressive height, and remarkable precision.
As you explore the plateau, your guide will explain the history of the pyramids of King Khafre and King Menakaure, answer your questions, and give you time to take photos. From the panoramic viewpoint, enjoy breathtaking views of all three pyramids together. You will spend ample time in the area, with optional activities available for an extra fee, such as entering one of the pyramids, visiting the Sun Boat Museum, or enjoying a memorable camel ride across the desert.
Continue to the Sphinx Area, where you will admire this colossal statue symbolizing royal power and wisdom, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. Nearby, visit the Valley Temple, where ancient mummification rituals once took place.
Afterward, enjoy lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant before heading to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization. The museum houses over 100,000 artifacts that tell the extraordinary story of ancient Egypt, including the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun, displayed together for the first time in a modern, state-of-the-art setting.
Allow at least two hours for the museum tour, but don't expect to see everything in one visit—exploring the entire museum might require days, and it's easy to get lost. With so much to see, coming with a tour guide is a smart option and our private guided tour promises that you will make the most of your time and see the highlights. At the end of this incredible tour, which includes Cairo's two main attractions, your guide and driver will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel.
