What to expect

Get ready for a day packed with ancient wonders on this history-drenched full-day guided tour. You'll visit some of Egypt's most iconic landmarks, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the treasure-filled Egyptian Museum.

After an early start, you'll arrive in Giza, home to one of Egypt's seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With your expert local guide, you'll learn about the Great Pyramid of Giza, built for the Pharaoh Cheops, followed by the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Then, stop by the Great Sphinx, carved directly from the bedrock and sitting proudly on the Giza Plateau.

After a tasty lunch, you'll head into central Cairo to visit the world-renowned Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Its exceptional treasures include the mummies and the gilded mummy mask of Yuya and Thuya—found in the Valley of the Kings and remarkable for their extraordinary preservation and lifelike features. The museum is home to the largest collection of pharaonic artefacts. It's absolutely packed with ancient treasures – think glittering jewellery, ancient mummies, and statues that have stood the test of time. You'll have plenty of time to wander around and soak it all in.

What to remember

Extra fees to be paid on site:

  • Please note that you'll be able to access the pyramid area, but the entrance fees to go inside the pyramids, Cheops, Mykerinos, and Kefren, are not included. Tickets are limited, need to be bought onside and can't be guaranteed. If you're planning to go inside, the entrance fee for the Great Pyramid of Cheops is around EGP 1500 for adults and EGP 750 for children under 12. For Mykerinos or Kefren, it's about EGP 280 for adults and EGP 140 for kids under 12. Just so you know, payment is by credit card only.

Know in advance:

  • Update (valid starting 20 October 2025): The Hall of Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum (including the Golden Mask and Golden Sarcophagus) will be closed as the collection is being transferred to the new Grand Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, however, remains rich with exceptional treasures, including the mummies and the gilded mummy mask of Yuya and Thuya
