The great pyramid of Cheops is considered the only wonder of the seven wonders of the Ancient World that still survives, and it dates back to about 2500 B.C.

The pyramid of his grandson, Mycerinus, is partially cased with granite blocks. The Great Sphinx is attributed to King Chephren and is considered the Guardian of the Giza plateau; many stories claim it was built by the Aliens or the people of Atlantis. You can all these significant buildings you will visit with a qualified Egyptologist tour guide on this private tour.

    Mimo is the best!

    Fantastic tour with Mimo! He is so knowledgeable and entertaining! We could not have had a better experience with another tour guide. So much fun and educational too! His driver Ali was also excellent in the Giza traffic. Would do it all over again with Mimo!

    We had fun

    We had a great time with our tour guide Michael and we were well looked after. Both Michael and the driver were flexible towards our needs as we were traveling with a 3 year old child. Michael was very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt and modern day Cairo. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the tour a lot and would recommend it.

    Best tour in the world

    This is the best tour in the world. A professional, friendly guide, mImo gives us a wonderful tour. And a safe, kind driver, Ibrahim takes us to the real Egypt. We can experience what we want to in Egypt in a day, such as Pyramids, camels, perfumes, Papyrus, Tutankhamen in the museum, basaal, and so on. Mimo is so special that he has a variety of recommendation but we can still choose what we really want to. Thanks to them, our trip was brilliant.

    Really enlightening

    My experience with Memo was nothing short of amazing! I had a wonderful time! As a guide, Memo is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations. Hamada, my driver also did a great job getting us everywhere on time. They both made me feel welcome and at home. Nothing but good things to say about my experience. Would 100% recommend if you’re dealing with Memo and Hamada!

    Great Great Tour guide and Great Person

    Mimo was the best tour guide. If it wasnt for Mimo we wouldnt not had the best experience we had because you need a SUPERB tour guide to visit the great pyramids of Giza! If not the harrasment will be crazy. Mimo explained all the history of all Egyptian pyramids and answered every question we had. He became a friend to us he is a great guy overall!

    Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 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 Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 31 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 Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo?

    +

    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 Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo?

    +

    Around 11 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.

    What is included in Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Transport by air-conditioned vehicle; Private tour; Professional guide; and Bottled water. Not included: Gratuities; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 34 listed pickup locations in and around Giza. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo?

    Is Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Half Day Tour from Cairo wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
