Your private guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza to begin an unforgettable journey to the Giza Plateau. Explore the legendary three pyramids—Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure—as your guide shares fascinating stories and historical insights about these ancient wonders. While guides are not permitted to enter the pyramids with you, you’ll have the option to go inside one of the pyramids for an additional fee. You can also enjoy a camel ride across the sands at an extra cost. Capture breathtaking photos of the pyramids rising from the desert with the Cairo skyline as a backdrop. A short drive across the plateau brings you to the Sphinx, standing majestically as an oracular symbol of Egypt for thousands of years. Don’t miss the Solar Boat Museum, home to the remarkably well-preserved funerary boat of Cheops. Your tour concludes with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, giving you a chance to relax and savor traditional Egyptian flavors.

Next, your tour continues to Saqqara, home to Egypt’s oldest pyramid, the famous Step Pyramid, built in 2650 B.C. Your guide will share fascinating insights into its history and significance. You’ll also have some free time to explore the site, wander around, and soak in the ancient atmosphere.

Next, you will be escorted south to Dahshur to begin your day tour of the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid. Dahshur, one of Egypt’s most famous royal necropolises, is home to several remarkable pyramids, including these two built by King Snefru. During your visit, your guide will explain the fascinating history and architectural significance of these ancient monuments. You will also have the opportunity to visit a Papyrus Institute, where you can see how Egypt’s famous papyrus artwork is made using traditional techniques. After the tour, you will be driven back to your hotel, completing a day full of history, culture, and unforgettable sights.
