- Grand Egyptian Museum - The Grand Egyptian Museum is the world’s largest museum dedicated to ancient Egyptian antiquities. Situated a few miles west of Cairo, it offers a direct view of the Giza Pyramids. The museum showcases over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete treasures of King Tutankhamun, such as his golden mask, sarcophagus, and scepter, along with artifacts from the Greco-Roman period found in Egypt. It also features commercial and entertainment facilities, a restoration center, and a museum garden, and is designed to welcome 5 million visitors each year.
- Egypt Pyramids Inn - Visitors will witness the pyramids, one of the oldest of the seven wonders of the world, and the tombs of the Pharaohs, constructed around 2690 BC. The invaluable treasures of the kings, buried with them for use in the afterlife as they believed, have been looted over thousands of years, yet discoveries continue to this day.
- Great Sphinx - The Sphinx is among the largest statues globally, measuring 20 meters in length and 73 meters in width, featuring the body of a lion and a human head, adorned with a royal headdress. This statue is carved from a single piece of limestone. The three pyramids were constructed as tombs to safeguard the king’s body and preserve the supplies he would need in the afterlife from thieves.
The most notable feature of the Sphinx in Giza is its missing elements, such as the nose, which was one meter long, and its whereabouts remain unknown. The statue also has a long tail wrapped around its right foot.

Absolutely Amazing! - Amazing experience! Trusted company, felt safe throughout, great driver and knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of time to take photos, great communication with the company from booking until the day you leave, even had a call from the manager on my return to as if I enjoyed the experience. We had 3 rest/toilet stops each way, we were given the option of what we would like to do whilst in Cairo, no pressure and were able to leave each attraction when ready. I read the reviews on here before I booked and don’t usually leave one, but they helped me find a reputable company and I would like to share my thoughts to do the same. It was magical and absolutely worth the 6 hours travelling, in my view it’s better than flying to Cairo from Hurghada, no hassle of the airport and able to leave early if you like, as
apposed to waiting for your flight. If you are going to book, this company is great!!

Fabulous trip to Cairo - Don't get me wrong it was a long day but from the start when the guys picked us up at the hotel it was fabulous. We were a party of 4 ,The drivers were great supplied us with snacks and drinks and made plenty of stops for comfort breaks.
When we arrived in Cairo and met up with our guide/ Egyptologist Hany, it got even better. I don't think there is anything about Egypt's he doesn't know and explains things so well with a great sense of humour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a personalised tour of Cairo and if you can, ask for Hany as your guide. The last time we did this we flew to Cairo but this was far better.

Amazing tour - Our trip was amazing. Hany was an amazing guide. He was very sociable and very interactive. He encouraged us to ask questions and did a fantastic job at sparking our interest. He knew the best spots to take pictures and took the liberty of taking a lot of pictures as well. It seemed like he was very well connected as we were able to skip all the lines at the museums and the pyramids. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed this trip were I to do this in a group setting.
Our driver, Mahmoud, is the best driver ever. He asked us multiple times if we were comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, this was the best possible way to explore Cairo and the pyramids.
Egyptian people are very welcoming and very hospitable and we liked everything about it.

Professional organised tour of Cario. Must do when visiting Hurghada despite the long drive - My second excursion out of Hurghada and organised once again by Mahmoud for our group of 7.
Picked up by a modern clean minibus at 2am for our 6 hour drive to Cairo. Given the roads, I would not recommend this for anyone that is pregnant.
Met by Hany, our local guide in Cario who was amazing and knowledgeable. He also recommended the camel ride with tutu ( optional extra) which I highly recommend, and gives you a chance to see the pyramids in its glory plus able to go into one of the smaller pyramids without an6 extra cost.
Boat ride (also optional extra) was good to get some respite from the heat.
Not rushed to leave Cario and didn’t leave until after 6pm after a fun packed day.

Very good overall experience - If I could give 4.5 out of 5, this would be our review. The drivers where both good guys, arrived on time, snacks of crisps water and fizzy drinks arranged through Mohamed who owns the company. The vehicle was a minivan, in good condition and the air-conditioning worked well. Communication in arranging the trip was very good. I'm inquisitive naturally and would have wanted to spend some of the 6 hours travel time with the drivers getting to know more about where we were en route, local Egyptian ways of life etc. I do appreciate that was not advertised in the package. They took turns between sleeping and driving and drove safely however as a UK citizen found it unnerving them using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts. On connecting with our guide Sarawat in Cairo, he was friendly and did take care of entry to the museum, it is obvious he is well connected and known around town with his peers throughout the day. In the museum we focussed on key artifacts and he then left us for free time. This was the same when visiting the pyramids and sphinx also included and taken care of by Sarawat. You'll need 10LE if you want the toilet at the pyramids We did get the opportunity to do an optional boat trip on the Nile and Sarawat used his connections to book a large boat for 3 of us for £15 each which considering it probably takes over 20 people was excellent and lasted around 40 minutes. The food was good at lunch BBQ/grilled chicken and lamb kofta, note you'll need cash for drinks not included and you'll not be able to take your own. We were also encouraged by Sarawat to visit various other shops to buy papyrus pictures, perfume and souvenir stall.
Overall a very long and enjoyable day but preferred driving seeing the country and having space and a personal guide than being in a group and flying. I also enjoyed driving through Cairo and seeing the hustle and bustle of normal daily life. Would recommend this trip and considering what was included was good value.
