Cairo, Egypt

4 to 5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

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.
