Overview

Discover the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx on a private half-day tour designed for travelers who want to focus on Egypt’s most iconic ancient site without committing to a full-day itinerary. Travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a licensed Egyptologist guide and explore the Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, panoramic pyramid viewpoints, the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from the selected Cairo and Giza areas. Because only your booking group participates, the tour offers a more personal pace and more time for questions and photographs. Entrance tickets, pyramid-interior access and optional camel rides are clearly identified according to the option selected.
