The Basics

Few structures on the planet are as immediately recognizable as the Giza Pyramids, and travelers have several options for visiting these wonders of ancient Egypt. Most see them on a full-day tour from Giza or Cairo; these tours often also include a Nile River cruise or stops at other sights such as Memphis, the Egyptian Museum, and the Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Once at the pyramid site, explore the pyramid complex on foot, or choose to take in the view from afar with a camel ride (a great photo opportunity). Those who visit on their own should keep in mind that there are separate entrance fees for the complex and each individual pyramid.

A great experience worth travelling a long way for

The Pyramids have to be seen to be believed. Travelling at this time meant that we missed peak season crowds. We were fortunate to have a very competent and knowledgeable guide, Sarah plus a great driver Mahomet. They made the tour complete

Great custom tour guide experience of Giza pyramids and sites

Veronika_B, May 2023

Trusted tour to Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx with Camel ride and Entrance Fees

The guide showed up ontime and even delivered extras for our half day tour of Giza pyramids. Driving or getting a cab in Giza can be a nightmare, so I am glad we picked this service that efficiently showed us all the desired sites and provided great experience with customized flexibility and adjusted to our specific needs.

Beyond Our Expectation

Private Tour in Giza Pyramids, Saqqara & Memphis and Sphinx

This is my second time doing a private tour around Giza Pyramids & Saqqara with Ragab. Both of the experiences are satisfying. Ragab has deep knowledge of Giza Pyramids and Saqqara and never hold back on sharing the knowledge. He also went above and beyond by taking us to the site that barely anyone notices. Would definitely recommend Ragab everytime I have friends visit Egypt

Thank you Mo×2

Half Day Private Tour to Giza Pyramids Sphinx

Our guide Mohamed and driver Muhamed took great care of us and we enjoyed the tour. We had orginally booked to only do Giza pyramids and Sfinx, but we were able to do extend our tour to also do the Saqqara tombs and complex and we are happy with our decision. Our guide was very informative and attentive to what we wanted and needed. Thank you Mo×2 for a great tour.

Half day Giza pyramids with camel ride and lunch

Private Half Day Tour to Giza Pyramids with Camel Ride, Lunch, Entrance fees

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Mary, and our driver, George. We were able to have the best of seeing the Giza pyramids, able to get up close and touch them, able to go inside Khafre’s pyramid. Also up close to the Sphinx. The camel ride was interesting, since we’ve never ridden a camel before. Lunch was delicious. We chose the traditional meal. Mary was very fun and informative. I highly recommend Go Discovery travel for the pyramid experience

Beautiful and Effortless Experience with Hiba

Tatiana_s, Mar 2023

Giza Pyramids Tour

Our experience with Hiba was truly amazing. I had booked this tour based on the many positive reviews about her, and she surpassed all our expectations. Hiba is not only lovely but also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We visited both the Saqqara tour and the Giza pyramids, and the whole experience was effortless and comfortable. Hiba made us feel like we had known her for a long time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Excellent Trip and Highly Recomended

All inclusive Tour Giza pyramids,Sphinx Sakkara,Dahshuh,Memphis,Camel Ride,Lunch

This was a fantastic trip and our guide Rania was excellent, as was the driver Ahmed. Rania was very knowledgeable and quickly took us to all the best spots for photos and information. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and the main bonus is that you get to see the sights of Sakkara and Dahshuh in addition tot he Giza pyramids. Seeing the other sites, puts the Giza complex into more context and they are equally impressive,

My fiancé and I were blessed to have Mimo and his driver Beso take us on an amazing private tour to the Giza Pyramids, camel ride, Sphinx, Memphis, Saqqara, and lunch. He made us feel welcome and made our dream of visiting the pyramids real. His in-depth knowledge coupled with a great sense of humor made memories that will last a lifetime!

Fantastic!

Private Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx with Camel Ride and Quad Bike

Seeing the Giza pyramids for the first time was amazing. I had a private tour and enjoyed myself. I learned a lot and was amazed. I didn’t know I could walk on it or go in so I definitely was surprised and enjoyed myself. The pyramids are such wonders!

Trusted tour to Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx with Camel ride and Entrance Fees

Overall good experience! Mohammed was very talkative, well informed and easy going. He had lots of knowledge and shared with us tips on what to do but most importantely what to avoid. The conversation went from ancient Egypt to current situation that helped us to better understand the country on our second day. Clean car, punctual pick up time, tickets included as well as a nice simple lunch. Definitely worth the experience.

While a guided tour from Cairo or Giza is the easiest and most convenient way to see the pyramids, it’s also possible to visit independently by taking a taxi or public bus from downtown Cairo or the Giza metro station along Pyramids Road.

When to Get There

The winter months (late November to early February) tend to bring optimal weather; in summer, expect temperatures in the 90s F. Keep in mind how traveling during Ramadan could impact your plans, and note that Fridays, a traditional day of rest in Egypt, tend to be a bit quieter at the Great Pyramids of Giza.

How to Avoid Scams and Touts at the Giza Pyramids

The main entrance is often crowded with pushy souvenir vendors, touts, and taxi drivers looking for a fare. To gain the assistance of a professional guide and avoid looking for vendors on the spot, it’s best to book your tour in advance, but if arriving by taxi, ask your driver to take you to the vehicle entrance, where there are fewer touts but still opportunities to book horse riding, camel riding, or carriage tours. You may also come across unofficial guides who claim you must tour the complex with them; this is not true.
