Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx and Egyptian Museum Tour

  • At 8:00 am, get picked up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza and start the tour.
  • First, visit the Pyramids of Giza - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus.
  • After seeing the famous pyramids, head to the Valley Temple. While there, take a closer look at the Great Sphinx - the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funerary complex with its lion body and the head of King Chephren.
  • There is also the possibility, if the customer prefers, to enter inside the Great Pyramid or visit the Boat Museum of King Cheops, but both visits are not included in the tour price.
  • Then continue your day tour to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. It displays the largest and most precious items of Egyptian art in the world. It exhibits a rare collection of over 250,000 genuine artefacts dating back as far as 5000 years, including an exclusive exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen - a collection of treasures, gold, and jewellery that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in 1920, when the tomb was excavated.
  • After that, pass by Tahrir Square, where the Egyptian revolution began in 2011.
  • Your tour finishes with a drop-off at your hotel.
