Overview

Stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, look up at 2.3 million stone blocks, and then ride a camel along the desert ridge with all three Pyramids behind you for the kind of photos people frame.

This is the half-day Giza tour with the camel ride included, not as an add-on. Your licensed Egyptologist takes you to the base of the Great Pyramid, the panoramic view point, the Great Sphinx, and onto a camel for 15 to 20 minutes along the ridge with a licensed handler.

Back to your Cairo or Giza hotel by lunchtime.

A great half-day option for first-time visitors who want the iconic Giza experience without the full-day commitment.

What to expect

  1. The Pyramids Of Giza
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Your Egyptologist meets you at your hotel in the morning. Private air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Plateau, about 30 minutes from central Cairo. You stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, walk its perimeter, and hear the actual history. Time at the panoramic view point where all three Pyramids align for the iconic photo.
  2. Great Sphinx
    45m · Admission ticket included
    Your final stop combines the Great Sphinx of Giza with your included 15 to 20 minute camel ride along the desert ridge.

No surprise fees, no haggling.
