About
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and the largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El-Giza, It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the fourth dynasty. Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 14 to 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC.
You will be picked up from your hotel in Cairo to discover first the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos.
Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body that dates back to the time of Chephren. This Sphinx was made to be the Guardian for the Pyramids of King Chephren.
The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple which belongs to the Pyramids of Chephren. The temple served definitely two purposes.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- phillipass0 contributionsA dream afloat the NileThis was the highlight of my visit to Cairo. The relaxing cruise, slow and romantic, on a night studded with jewels of Cairo, reflecting on the mighty waters of this life giving river, had a magical touch to it. Entertainment with belly dance to Abdul Halim and Um Kalthoum, other iconic figure in romantic music in Egypt, raised the magic to beyond expectations. Sufi dance and live music completed the package over dinner. Food was great, and the atmosphere was joyous. A definite must for a Cairo trip.Written 9 December 2024

- 505nunom0 contributionsFamily best optionGreat option for first contact with egipt. The driver always kept the distance from other cars and in all went quite ok. Comfortable van. On time. You can keep WhatsApp contact with the agency all the time. The Uber option is cheaper but far from the comfort.Written 16 September 2024
- Climber543864453360 contributionsAirport pickup and transferI travelled from the airport to my hotel in 6 October City in Cairo. The driver was already standing with my name card outside the arrival gate. He helped me with my luggages to the taxi and drove me safely and smoothly to the hotel. My experience with Egypt Excursions was amazing.Written 16 September 2024

- camillelY7410VT0 contributionsFull-Day Cairo AdventureThis jam-packed Cairo tour was incredible! We explored the iconic Pyramids of Giza, marvelling at their size and history with our expert guide. The Great Sphinx was equally awe-inspiring. In the afternoon, we journeyed back in time at Saqqara, home to the ancient Step Pyramid. We also explored the ruins of Memphis, Egypt's once-great capital.Written 24 July 2024

- stilwell220 contributionsCruise was canceled after we already arrived. Bad experienceWe were supposed to be picked up at our hotel at 5 PM. We messaged the operator at 5 and they said our car was on the way and it arrive about 515. It picked us up and drove us to the boat. When we got to the boat, we were told that the cruise for 6 PM was canceled and that we could get on the 8:30 PM cruise, even though we had communicated an hour before this with the tour guide and they didn’t say anything about it being canceled. They allowed us to take the 45 minute ride to the dock sit there for 30 minutes and then we had to have our driver take us back to the hotel. We did not do the 830 cruise and it appears they cancelled the 6pm because there was only a few of us there. If that’s the case they could have told us before we were even picked up. it was very aggravating and annoying that they wasted several hours of our day and made the inconveniences for us. We would not recommend using this tour company.Written 14 June 2024
- Nicolas B0 contributionsNile CruiseMy friends and I did this the first night in Egypt. We had a lot of fun. It's an excellent way to spend a first evening or an evening with nothing planned. The food was food, but the entertainment was awesome. Our guide, Mustafa, picked us up on time and made sure we were taken care of. I would recommend this if you are looking for a way to wind down after exploring Cairo or the surrounding areas.Written 12 June 2024

Iman and Mustafa were incredible. There was no request that was left unfulfilled.
Iman went above and beyond and gave 100% of herself to each event. Her dedication and positivity can make anyone feel right at home. I’ve presented her with events outside the scope of our itinerary and they graciously fulfilled my needs.
Mustafa was incredibly respectful, attentive, and mindful. He’s a seasoned driver with exceptional performance.
This company has earned a friend in me. Until next time.

Wael was the best tour guide we had in Egypt! His driver and tour guide to-be, Abdul, was a great addition. Their English was perfect; Wael was full of good information; he helped us to get around Sakkara, Memphis, and Giza; and he provided us with more than what we paid for!
That being said, the organization of the tour was a bit difficult. Although the tour guide was great, the agency could improve its communication with the clients. For instance, we did not know when or where we would be picked up until 2 days before the tour. We visited many things that were not advertised as well. So if you have something you want to see, you should mention it right away to your tour guide!
For future travelers, prepare for a fun tour but be aware that you may have to wait a long time before being in contact with someone.
