This private tour offers an expertly guided, door-to-door experience through Egypt’s most iconic landmarks — without the crowds or guesswork.

Skip the hassle of group tours and travel in comfort in your own air-conditioned vehicle. Unlike many tours, this one includes a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, a game-changer for Egypt tourism and a stunning contrast to the ancient pyramids nearby. Whether it’s your first time in Cairo or your fifth, this tour blends the old and new like no other.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your day begins with a warm private pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel, in a clean, air‑conditioned car around 8 am. As your guide greets you in the lobby, you’ll get local tips—best times to beat the heat, where to sip koshary after the tour, and how to stay hydrated in the desert sun. You’ll head first to the Giza Plateau (just 20–30 minutes from central Cairo), arriving ahead of the crowds. After the museum leg of the day, your guide will ensure a smooth and relaxing return—perhaps suggesting an evening stroll by the Nile or a quiet café in Zamalek.

1Giza pyramids
Step back 4,500 years as you arrive at the legendary Giza Plateau. Your Egyptologist guide will walk you through the mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the perfectly aligned Khafre, and the smaller Menkaure — each one rising from the desert with incredible symmetry and scale. Capture photos from panoramic viewpoints, and if you choose, descend into a pyramid chamber (ticket optional). Finish the visit at the enigmatic Sphinx, its human face and lion body still guarding the plateau with timeless grace.

Begin at the jaw-dropping Grand Staircase, where towering statues of pharaohs rise like sentinels. Wander through galleries showcasing ancient treasures, from colossal artifacts to intricate relics. Some exhibitions, like the full Tutankhamun collection, are not yet open, but what’s on view offers an unforgettable glimpse into ancient Egyptian grandeur in a stunning, modern setting.
