The experience

Your driver picks you up from your hotel in the morning and drives you by private air-conditioned car to Giza first, where you'll stand before the three great pyramids and the Sphinx. The guide walks you through what you're seeing and answers questions as you move through the site. From there, the same car takes you south to Saqqara to see the step pyramid and explore the tombs, then continues to Memphis, the ancient capital, where you walk the open-air museum. The whole route covers three destinations in a single itinerary.

The tour runs between 5 and 9 hours depending on how long you spend at each place: the driver and guide stay flexible and don't rush you through. You choose the language of your guide from English, French, Spanish, Italian or German when you book. Entrance tickets to all three sites are available as an add-on at checkout. If you'd rather arrange them separately, you can skip that option.

Camel or horse riding in Giza is optional and costs extra if you decide to do it on the day. Children from age one are welcome on the tour.
