It includes the three Great Pyramids (Khufu/Cheops, Khafre/Chephren and Menkaure/Mykerinos), the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers' village and an industrial complex. It is located in the Western Desert, approximately 9 km (5 mi) west of the Nile river at the old town of Giza, and about 13 km (8 mi) southwest of Cairo city center. The pyramids, which have historically been common as emblems of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination,[1][2] were popularized in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is by far the oldest of the ancient Wonders and the only one still in existence.

Wow!!! Saaqara! And Memphis!
Today we had an amazing tour of the ancient city of Memphis and Saaqara. The ruins were phenomenal. The hieroglyphics so cool! We spent the right amount of time and saw everything. Ali is so knowledgeable and Abdul had ice cold water waiting for us at every turn. I highly recommend coming to Egypt and doing this tour. They think of everything!
Response from the operator: Dear valuable guest, Thank you so much for the wonderful review, it was a pleasure arranging your Cairo visit and we are all glad you enjoyed it. We hope you will be back soon, so you can adventure & visit more of Egypt, as ancient Egypt has no end, and still untold story.

Things went well but should have been a lot nicer given what I paid. Solo, female, 1st time to Egypt
I created a custom tour that included: the pyramids of Giza, Fayoum, 3 days in Luxor, Saqqara, Memphis, transfers to/from airport and an expeditor for all flights. Prior to the trip there was no consultation on their part nor guidance on where to go, what to do. I had to do all of the research and tell them what things I wanted to do/see and they provided a proposal for guides and drivers accordingly. I asked for a day-by-day itinerary on timings to know how long each day/event would be roughly - none was provided. I asked for a packing list - none was provided. Overall I enjoyed the trip, but there were some blunders along the way. Things didn’t get started well. Coming from California it was a long 24 hour journey to get to Cairo. I paid for an expeditor to receive me at the airport. I arrived at 1am - exhausted and the expeditor was all business - walking fast, just wanted to get out of there - no how was your flight? How are you? We walked to baggage claim and he told me to get my bags and meet him and I said, “oh can you help me with my bags? And he got an annoyed look and said, “why are they heavy?” He really didn’t want to help me so he got a porter from the airport to help me but the bags took so long to come out that the porter just walked away - and the expeditor had walked away as well. So I started with a really bad impression. I prepaid for all transfers and I thought at least they’d provide some water bottles in the car - but no. I was visiting family in Cairo. This company and expeditor were recommended by my relatives as they have worked with this company for years and all of my family that visited prior to me worked with them and none of them were treated this way. My local relatives that recommended them were really surprised as well. I was disappointed in the guide at the Pyramids of Giza. She didn’t seem to be familiar with the new bus system and in retrospect we should have started with the Sphinx and worked backwards. I wouldn’t have known that - that’s what we pay guides for - to know these things. By the time we got to the Sphinx it was so crowded and we were so tired from the heat that we couldn’t enjoy it. But that could have been easily avoided if she had planned thoughtfully. We paid a lot for the day trip to Fayoum and we should have gotten a luxury vehicle. Instead we got a beat up looking car which at one point struggled to start. Looking back I should have refused to get in that car from the getgo. The driver/guide was good as were most of the guides. My guide Sherry and driver at Luxor were AWESOME - thoughtful, organized, excellent at taking pictures, flexible and just made it really memorable. Shahd was my guide at Saqqara and Memphis. She spoke excellent English and was just a fun person. Overall things went well. For the amount I paid it should have been nicer and attention to details and things that visitors would need/find useful. We did inform Ali about these challenges along the way and 0 compensation nor effort to make up for it was made.

Very nice tour
Excellent guide and driver, I enjoyed a private tour with a lot of information and a comfortable tour, all sites were interesting.

Amazing Tour
The tour was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the pyramids and ancient Egyptian history. The day was really well-organized, and we got to do a lot more than just see the pyramids, which gave us a deeper appreciation for Egypt. It was such a great experience—I’d highly recommend it!

Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Giza is not rushed.
Is Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Giza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Saqqara Pyramids & Memphis Capital start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Giza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Giza?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Giza?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
