Pyramids of Giza Tours

Every tour we run that visits the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, from private half-day visits to day trips from Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Egypt's cruise ports.

What a Giza Pyramids tour covers

The Giza plateau on the western edge of Cairo holds the three pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre. A guided visit usually starts at the Great Pyramid, continues to the panoramic viewpoint in the desert for the classic view of all three pyramids, and ends at the Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

On our guided tours a licensed Egyptologist explains how the pyramids were built, who the kings were and how the site was used, and handles the tickets, timing and photo stops so you can concentrate on the visit.

Choosing the right Giza tour

  • Short on time: a private Giza visit takes about half a day and fits around a flight or a museum visit.
  • Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum: the museum is a short drive from the plateau, so the two combine naturally into one full day.
  • Pyramids, Saqqara and Dahshur: add the Step Pyramid of Djoser and the Bent and Red Pyramids for the full story of pyramid building.
  • Camel ride or bike safari: see the plateau from the desert side with a camel ride at the panoramic area.
  • Evening: the Sound and Light Show tells the story of the plateau after dark in front of the Sphinx.
  • From the coast or a cruise ship: day trips and overnight tours run from Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Port Said and Alexandria.

Practical tips

  • Arrive early: the morning is cooler and quieter than the middle of the day.
  • Going inside the Great Pyramid needs a separate ticket in addition to the plateau entry, and the passages are narrow and steep.
  • Wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection, a hat and water; there is little shade on the plateau.
  • From a cruise port, Giza is a long drive each way, so follow the timing your guide sets around your ship's all-aboard time.
