Private Giza Pyramids Tour with Camel Ride, Sakkara & Memphis

Taste authentic Egyptian cuisine with views of the pyramids on your tour day

A private all-inclusive tour of Giza, Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur with an English-speaking Egyptologist guide, hotel pickup and return, entrance fees, Egyptian lunch and a one-hour camel ride. You visit the Giza Pyramids, the Step Pyramid at Sakkara, the Red and Bent Pyramids at Dahshur, and Memphis, the first ancient capital, to trace the evolution of Egyptian pyramid construction in a single day.

The experience

This tour moves through four major pyramid sites in one day, each one showing a different stage in how ancient Egyptian builders developed their craft. You start at Giza with the most famous pyramids, then move to Sakkara to see the Step Pyramid, the oldest stone structure on earth, then to Dahshur to stand in front of the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, which reveal the transition between building styles. Memphis, the original capital, rounds out the journey with temples and statues from the same era. A private Egyptologist guide walks you through each site and explains what you're looking at, so the progression makes sense rather than feeling like a list of monuments.

The camel ride lasts an hour and happens during the tour, giving you time on the animal rather than a quick photo stop. Lunch is Egyptian cuisine served at a restaurant with views of the pyramids, and it's included in the price. You travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your guide and driver, so there's no waiting for a group to assemble or for stops to coordinate with other travelers. Hotel pickup and return are part of the booking, as are entrance fees to all four sites, bottled water and soft drinks throughout the day, and a shopping stop in Cairo if you want it.

The tour runs about ten hours from pickup to return. Dress code is smart casual. Vegetarian meals are available if you request them when you book. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and infants can sit on a lap or use a specialized seat if you arrange it ahead of time.

Top questions

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (12 to 20 years); Child (6 to 10 years); Infant (under 4): free.

What's the difference between the Step Pyramid at Sakkara and the pyramids at Giza?

The Step Pyramid at Sakkara, built around 2670 BCE, is the oldest stone structure in the world and shows the earliest form of pyramid design: a series of stacked mastabas that create steps. The Giza Pyramids, built later, represent the perfected smooth-sided pyramid form that most people picture when they think of Egypt.

How much time do I spend at each site?

The tour visits four sites in ten hours, so you have meaningful time at each one rather than a rushed stop. Your guide determines the pacing based on what you want to see and ask about at each location.

Is the camel ride suitable for someone who's never ridden before?

The tour is recommended for all travelers and suitable for all physical fitness levels. The one-hour camel ride is included, and your guide can advise on what to expect before you mount.

What happens if I'm vegetarian?

Egyptian cuisine lunch is included at a restaurant with pyramid views. Vegetarian options are available. Just let the operator know when you book so they can arrange it with the restaurant.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the sites, or is transport included?

All transfers are by private air-conditioned vehicle, and hotel pickup and return are included in the tour price. You don't arrange separate transport to any of the four sites.
