After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your accommodation, your private Giza Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum tour begins. Meet your expert Egyptologist guide and hop into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, ready to explore two of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.

Giza Pyramid Complex

Your first stop is the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the monumental Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Standing before these ancient marvels, you will be awed by their scale and enduring mystery. Your Egyptologist guide will share fascinating insights into their construction, the purpose of the mortuary temples, and the rich history behind these timeless structures. Nearby, encounter the Great Sphinx, the majestic lion-bodied guardian with a pharaoh’s face, and feel the power and intrigue of this ancient sentinel.

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

Next, travel a short distance to the Grand Egyptian Museum, an architectural masterpiece just steps from the pyramids. Begin in the Grand Hall, greeted by the towering statue of Ramesses II, then ascend the grand staircase flanked by colossal monuments. Explore the Tutankhamun Galleries, where the boy king’s treasures—his golden mask, sarcophagi, chariots, jewelry, and furniture—are displayed in breathtaking detail. Wander through themed exhibition halls that showcase prehistoric Egypt, the Old and New Kingdoms, daily life, religion, and more. Don’t miss the reconstructed Khufu solar boats, ancient vessels that symbolize the pharaoh’s journey to the afterlife. The museum’s design itself is spectacular, with panoramic windows offering stunning views of the nearby pyramids, seamlessly connecting Egypt’s past and present.

Lunch

Pause for a delightful lunch at a nearby restaurant, savoring authentic Egyptian cuisine. Enjoy flavorful mezze, grilled meats or vegetarian dishes, fresh salads, and warm flatbreads—a perfect break to relax and reflect on the morning’s discoveries amidst the calm desert atmosphere.

Frequently asked questions

Is Egypt safe to travel to?

Egypt is considered a safe destination for tourists, especially in major travel hubs like Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and Sharm El Sheikh. These cities receive millions of visitors every year and have dedicated tourism police, well-secured attractions, and strict safety protocols. Tourist sites, hotels, and airports maintain high security standards, and local authorities continuously monitor major travel areas. As with any international trip, visitors should stay aware of their surroundings, follow their guide’s instructions, and use reputable travel companies. When you travel with a licensed operator, your itinerary, transportation, and local assistance are handled by professionals who prioritize safety at every step.

How can I book a tour?

Booking a tour is easy and flexible. You can reserve through our website booking form, send us an email, or simply contact us through WhatsApp for instant communication. Once you choose your preferred itinerary, our team will check availability, confirm all details, and guide you through the booking and payment process. We provide full trip information, what to bring, start times, and everything you need to prepare. You will also receive a confirmation voucher and emergency contact numbers for peace of mind.

Can I edit or add anything to this tour?

Yes, all our tours are fully customizable. We understand that every traveler has unique interests, so we’re happy to adjust the itinerary based on your preferences. You can add extra sites, extend the tour, upgrade meal options, include special activities like a felucca ride or desert adventure, or even build a completely personalized route. If you have special requests—such as dietary needs, additional photo stops, or private guiding—we can arrange it. Just tell us what you want to change, and our team will tailor the experience to fit your schedule, pace, and travel style.

Which currency is most widely accepted on this tour?

The main currency used in Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP), but most tourist services also accept U.S. Dollars (USD) due to their stability and popularity among travelers. Euros and British Pounds are commonly accepted in hotels, souvenir shops, and some restaurants. For small purchases such as drinks, snacks, or tips, we recommend carrying a bit of Egyptian Pounds. ATMs are available in most major cities, and currency exchange offices are easy to find. If you plan to pay for optional experiences, many vendors prefer USD or EGP, so having a combination of both is helpful.

Can I schedule a tour at any time of day?

In most cases, yes—you can choose the tour start time that best matches your itinerary. Full-day tours generally begin early to make the most of the cooler morning hours and avoid traffic, but late-morning and afternoon departures are possible depending on the destination. Some activities have fixed schedules; for example, sunrise hot air balloon rides in Luxor, evening Sound & Light Shows at the Pyramids, or specific temple opening hours. Our team will advise you on the best timing to ensure ideal lighting, fewer crowds, and the best overall experience, especially for photography or comfort during the hotter months.

Can I pay by credit card?

Yes, we accept credit card payments for most tours. Visa and MasterCard are the most commonly used, and payments are processed through secure online gateways to protect your information. Some services may also accept American Express depending on the provider. If you prefer, you can pay a deposit online and settle the remaining balance in cash upon arrival—either in USD, EUR, or EGP. We aim to make payment as smooth as possible, offering several methods so you can choose what works best for you.

Is tipping included in the tour price?

Tipping is usually not included in the tour price unless clearly stated. In Egypt, tipping (known locally as “baksheesh”) is a traditional part of the hospitality culture, and it’s a way to show appreciation for good service. Guides, drivers, hotel staff, and boat crew often rely on tips as part of their income. We can provide recommended tipping guidelines based on your tour type and group size, but the amount is always up to you. You are free to tip depending on your satisfaction with the service provided.
