The Experience
Three to four hours covers the Giza Plateau, where you'll stand in front of the three main pyramids and the Great Sphinx. The half-lion, half-human statue that has watched over the site for millennia. The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the sole surviving wonder of the ancient world's original seven, built two thousand years before the others. Your private Egyptologist guide walks you through the history and mythology while you move between the monuments at your own pace, with an air-conditioned vehicle handling the transport between stops.
The camel ride happens at the panoramic view area in the Sahara desert, where you can see the pyramids from a distance most visitors never reach. After that, you enter Pyramid Ehtepheres I and Meresankh III Tomb, two sites most tours skip, so you get the interior experience alongside the exterior views. Lunch is a Western or Eastern food open buffet, and bottled water and soda are provided throughout the day.
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, which means no arranging transport to the site or back. All entry fees and taxes are settled upfront, so there are no surprises at the gate.
