Great time on private Giza Tour!

We had an amazing time on our tour with Aziza! She made the day such a delight and she was full of great knowledge. I would highly recommend doing this tour, and spending the more time at Saqqara like we did.

Any tours in Egypt Must be done with them :)

This encounter was very remarkable! Since childhood, I have had a strong desire to see the pyramids, and I am pleased to report that they did not disappoint me in the slightest. The person that led us for the day was Jemmy, and she was exceptional. She has a remarkable depth of knowledge, exhibited a warm and kind demeanor, and proved to be an excellent companion for the whole day. Once we depleted our water supply, she promptly stopped at a vendor and purchased more water for all of us without seeking permission. We appreciate your efforts in making our vacation exceptional, Jemmy!

Splendid, flexible welcome to Egypt

We toured Giza, Saqqara, Memphis, Alexandria, including a quick stop by the library, plus the Islamic center and Coptic centers in Cairo. AND the National Museum…on the first legs of a 2-week tour throughout Egypt. Egypt Portal Tours delivered! I especially commend our guide for this portion of the tour: Hussein Elgabry. He was a delightful personality, attentive and easygoing, who took care to make us feel welcome, in addition to having answers to the gazillion questions we raised.He was the perfect person for our family group on the first leg of our adventure. Highly recommended!

Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis cost?

+

Prices start at $30 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 Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis?

+

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 Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis?

+

Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis 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.

What is included in Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis?

+

Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Entrance fee to the mentioned sights in the program; Transport by private vehicle; and Qualified Egyptologist guide. Not included: Food and Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1565 listed pickup locations in and around Cairo. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Giza Pyramids and Saqqara Private Tour from Cairo with Memphis offered in?

+
