Enjoy an unforgettable day trip from Cairo to the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), two of Egypt’s most iconic and awe-inspiring landmarks that should be on every traveler’s bucket list. This private, fully guided tour provides a fascinating journey into ancient Egypt, offering a chance to explore the ancient wonders of the world and see the treasures of the most advanced civilization of antiquity. Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pick-up in Cairo or Giza, where you’ll be greeted by your professional, private Egyptologist guide, who will ensure you have an in-depth, informative experience throughout the day.

Your first stop is the Giza Plateau, the site of the world-famous Great Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the Pyramid of Cheops), the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus. These monumental pyramids are the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still stand, offering an awe-inspiring sight and a deep dive into ancient Egyptian architecture and engineering. The Great Pyramid of Giza, built for Pharaoh Khufu around 4,500 years ago, is the largest and oldest of the pyramids, standing at an original height of 146.5 meters (481 feet). It remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. As your guide walks you through the fascinating history of these monumental structures, you’ll learn about the incredible precision with which they were built, the theories behind their construction, and the mysteries that continue to surround them.

You’ll also visit the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), the second-largest pyramid on the Giza Plateau, which belongs to Pharaoh Khafre, the son of Khufu. Here, you can explore the Valley Temple of Khafre, where priests performed important religious rituals. At this location, you’ll also encounter the iconic Great Sphinx, an enormous limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Khafre. This mythical guardian is one of Egypt’s most famous symbols and offers an incredible photo opportunity. For an even more unique experience, consider opting for a camel ride around the pyramids, which gives you a fantastic view of these ancient wonders from the vast desert landscape. Then lunch time at Local Restaurant .
