The pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are among the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and indeed already were even in Roman times. Each of these spectacular structures served as the final resting place of a king of the 4th Dynasty (c.2613–2494 BC). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for king Khufu (c.2589–2566 BC), and the other two for Khafre and Menkaure, his son and grandson. Khufu’s pyramid is both the oldest and largest of the three, and the first building to exceed it in height would not be built for another 3,800 years!

The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The only completely preserved portrait of the king is a three-inch high ivory figurine found in a temple ruin of a later period at Abydos in 1903. All other reliefs and statues were found in fragments, and many buildings of Khufu are lost. Everything known about Khufu comes from inscriptions in his necropolis at Giza and later documents. For example, Khufu is the main character noted in the Westcar Papyrus from the 13th dynasty.

Amazing tour in Saqqara with Toba
I had an incredible day with Toba on the Sakkara tour! He takes the time to explain every detail, ensuring that you fully understand the context and history of Egypt. He is attentive, a great listener, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone—100% satisfied!
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you for your support and we would like to inform that we are taking every measure to ensure better service and greater customer satisfaction at all time . Ido wish to welcome you and your family in one of our tours soon ^_^ Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

Almost perfect
Great guide and cool driver with a nice car. They are very flexible and kind. I went to Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. As far as I checked, I couldn't find any other tour which go all these places in one day at this price. Only one small request from me is that a guide should be able to take nice photos in this era! So please study the techniques to take impressive photos or find great places. but she tried to take a lot of photos so I really appreciate it!
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you so much for your kind words, We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us .We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

Tonsi is a great guide!
Tonsi Tonsi was a fantastic guide! The car was nice and he told me the history and helped me navigate Cairo. Communicated well on WhatsApp, great English, and added/skipped portions as I liked. Lunch was great, and the papyrus shop was really cool, too! Highly recumbent to message them and book online!
via Tripadvisor
Ideal round trip of the big archeological sites near the city
Lots of information and a very relaxed pace from Tonsi our guide, who takes trouble to understand what clients want from the trip. Excellent driving and a very comfortable, large van. All round, exactly what you need for a day out with the Pharaohs.

Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur?
+
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 Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur?
+
Around 5 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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day trip to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
