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 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.

    Fantastic trip and the guide was amazing. Only wish we didn’t spent much time at the perfume and papyrus shop so we could have more time at the museum which felt short. Other than that, was a great experience and would recommend! Note that it took 23.5h and not 18h from start to finish

    I think that going to Cairo is a must - the pyramids and sphinx really are incredibly impressive. However, I think there are a few things that could be improved. The day is incredibly long - while that can’t really be changed, it should be advertised as a 24hour trip. Lunch, which is included, is not very nice - perhaps a different venue should be explored. Some of the best artefacts have been moved from the museum - so hopefully the museum you visit will change in future.

    Enjoyed file trip which was extra so not included. Got put on polish tour(we dont speak polish) after booking an English tour. We had no idea was happening we ended up going round museum on our own. Toilets in museum are not usable and won't even let you in unless you tip. Day felt really dragged out stop twice on way there! pyramids were the last on the list and after being picked up at 1am getting to pyramids at bout 3pm no one felt enthusiastic any more. You constantly get badgered by sellar
