Great Sphinx

Our day starts by seeing the guardian of the necropolis, the Sphinx (you know, the one with the missing nose!), which stands in front of the second Pyramid of Khepren. We will enter the Giza Plateau from the Sphinx Gate to beat the crowds to the site, and after seeing the Sphinx, we’ll walk to the mysterious great pyramid of King Cheops, where you can marvel at the sheer size of the construction, and try and formulate your own theories as to how it was built.

Gizeh Plateau

Our private Pyramids tour continues to the second Pyramid of Giza, which is the second largest and the only pyramid that still carries part of its original casing. From there, we’ll continue to the third and the smallest of the Giza Plateau pyramids. And no visit to the Pyramids of Giza would be completed without stopping at the panoramic view point where you get to see the all the pyramids of Giza in the one spot (and take a photo like the ones you see in travel books – free of tourists! Well, almost…)

Comfortable private tour to visit the pyramids and Sphinx

We had a great time with our guide Wael Magdy. He was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the Pyramids and Sphinx. He was easy to talk to and gave us a great time. He also gave us great tips for Restaurants and fulfilled our wishes. We shared a very nice lunch together, it was the best we have eaten in Kairo. The car rides were very comfortable.

Fabulous private guided tour

Wael displays a great depth of knowledge and passion for the Giza Plateau. A takeaway from this tour: the pyramids and sphinx are not just monuments but have deeper astrological and religious expressions designed to secure eternal life for Egypt’s Pharoahs. A highly recommended experience!

Must do see and understand the Giza Pyramids complex.

This is an excellent detailed tour of the Giza Pyramids with lots of time to explore and learn as much as you can handle and more. Our guide, Muhammad was fantastic, he had the perfect combination of knowledge, passion and communication skills to make him a superb tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Cairo even if your have already been on a group tour that included the Pyramids.

Personal och knowledgeable guide

Our guide Ahmed was amazing. He had a vast knowledge of everything related to the Egyptian history. Also he was very keen on making sure we understood what it would take to go into the chamber if The Great Pyramid.

Pyramids, the Sphinx and an amazing tour guide

I did this tour as the itinerary set out everything I wanted to see. Seeing the pyramids and Sphinx up close is truly an unforgettable experience and you can get some great photos as it is (mostly) crowd free. Having it all planned out for you made it so simple to see everything and not have to stress by doing it yourself. What really made this an amazing experience was my tour guide, Ahmed Abdelsalam! I was a solo traveller on this tour and Ahmed was very focused on making sure I was having a g...read more
