+15Grand Egyptian Museum & Giza Pyramids Tour – Cairo
Description
See the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in one unforgettable day. Stand before the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, come face to face with the Great Sphinx, then step inside the world's largest museum dedicated to a single civilization – home to the golden treasures of Tutankhamun.
A licensed Egyptologist guide is with you all day to bring 4,500 years of history to life.
Your day starts on the Giza Plateau at the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Stop at the panoramic viewpoint for the classic photo of all the pyramids together, then visit the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple.
Next, explore the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) with its colossal statues, royal treasures and the Tutankhamun collection. Along the way, you enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
Choose how you want to travel – both options are all-inclusive:
All-Inclusive Shared Group Tour: join other travelers in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. Great value and perfect for solo travelers – you can book from just 1 person. Pickup is from hotels in Giza and Downtown Cairo at a fixed time, which we confirm on WhatsApp after booking.
All-Inclusive Private Tour: just you and your group, with your own Egyptologist guide and a private air-conditioned vehicle. We pick you up from your hotel or any address in Cairo or Giza, and you choose the start time: 08:00, 09:00 or 10:00. Available from 1 person, with a lower price per person from 2 travelers.
On both options, children aged 4–10 pay half the adult price, and everything is covered: hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance tickets to the Giza Plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum, lunch, the guide, bottled water and all taxes.
The only things not included are optional extras that you pay for on the spot: entry inside the Great Pyramid (tickets sold at the site), and a camel ride at the pyramids or a boat trip on the Nile, which you can book and pay for directly with your guide.
Good to know: if you are staying farther out (Nasr City, Cairo Airport, Heliopolis, Mirage City, Rehab City, Madinaty, New Cairo, the New Capital or 6th of October City), pickup is available as an Extra Transfer at an additional cost. Some museum galleries may occasionally close for conservation or special events.
Vegetarian meals are available on request.
