Then, head directly to the Sphinx and its temple to view the massive structure beside it, known as the Temple of Mummification. Capture numerous memorable photos in this area and enjoy a camel ride for about half an hour around the pyramid area, taking in the breathtaking views of this magnificent site and its surroundings. - Pyramids of Giza - Then, hop on a quad bike to explore the majestic Pyramids up close. Ride around the pyramids and admire the splendor of the Pyramids of Cheops, Mykerinus, and Chephren from outside the Pyramid Area.
Afterward, the guide will take you to a local Egyptian restaurant to savor the most delicious and flavorful dishes.
- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Continue the day tour to Sakkara, located about 16.5 miles (27 KM) southwest of Cairo. Here, visit the Step Pyramid built for King Zoser, an essential part of the pyramid evolution process, transitioning from a simple mastaba to its well-known form. This segment of the tour will last approximately 2 hours.

Excellent Tour! - Traveling alone can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Nasser made me feel completely comfortable, safe, and welcome throughout the entire day. From the moment we met, he was professional, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable.
The Giza Pyramids were breathtaking, and Nasser shared fascinating historical insights that brought the site to life. The Grand Egyptian Museum was equally impressive, and his explanations helped me gain a much deeper appreciation for Egypt’s rich history and culture.
As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated his patience, kindness, and attention to detail. He was always happy to answer my questions and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the tour. He also knew the best locations for photos and helped me capture wonderful memories of this special day.
Everything was well organized, stress-free, and enjoyable from beginning to end. Visiting the pyramids was truly a dream come true and one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt.
I highly recommend Nasser to anyone visiting Cairo, especially solo travelers looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy guide and a personalized experience.
Thank you, Nasser, for your hospitality and for making my visit so memorable. May God bless you and your family. 🇪🇬🏛️✨

Comprehensive pyramid tour - If you're short on time and want to see not only the pyramids in Giza, but also the wonderful sites in Saqqara and Dahshur, this is your tour. It's well organised, they take care of everything, you can relax in the car, have your guide give you detailed explanation on sites and explore then a bit on your own. The lunch was fantastic too! Thank you to Hadeer and Ezat, who came to pick me up even in advance and was great all around.

Thank you, Malak. - We were lucky that Malak was our guide for 2 days in Cairo. We are 4 Chileans, and he took us through the Cairo Museum, all the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis. He explains incredibly, with a lot of passion and information that you won't find in books. Super attentive, punctual, and he adapted to our pace. He made the experience unforgettable. 100% recommended if you visit Egypt. Thank you, Malak!
