Itinerary

Join your guide in the early morning at a Cairo meeting point and head to the Giza necropolis.

Your guide will transport you through the gate at the Sphinx, where you’ll avoid crowds and gain incredible access to the human-headed lion statue. Hear stories around this strange structure’s creation as you marvel at its size.

Then follow your guide to the pyramids of Giza. Get an up-close look at Giza’s largest pyramid, Cheops. Next your guide will take you to Khafre and Menkaure—two other well-known pyramids

Once you’ve had your fill on the ground, journey to a popular viewpoint where you’ll get a bird’s eye view of these structures against Cairo skyline. Enter one of the pyramids (own expense) on your own, before driving into the city for an authentic lunch. The tour ends at the departure point.
