What you'll see and do

  1. The Pyramids Of Giza

    On this tour about the pyramids, you will be taken back to Ancient Egypt. Even though they are considered as part of Giza, the pyramids are an absolute must do in Cairo. You will first visit the Great Pyramids Of Giza - Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos. Then you will visit the Valley Temple, the place where the Priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, owner of the second pyramid at Giza plateau. You will be able to have a close look at the Sphinx, the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren. I will make sure that you will take the best photos of your tour in Giza Pyramids.

Highly recommended

We’ve been in Egypt for three weeks, planning the whole trip ourselves, but before visiting the pyramids in Giza, we were sure we would need a guide. We’re a family with two small kids (4 and 2 years old), so you can imagine how different this kind of experience can be and how challenging it can sometimes be. Choosing Sherif Abd was the perfect decision! We were able to have a private experience and truly enjoy the visit as a family. Sherif gave us very good and interesting explanations while also giving us the space and time we needed. He knows the perfect spots for beautiful photos, so now we have wonderful memories to take home with us. We highly recommend him! You can really see his experience and impressive knowledge, and his English is perfect as well. Thank you, Sherif, for making our visit to the pyramids such a special family experience!

Perfect pyramids tour

Sherif was a wonderful guide! He is an absolute expert on the subject, he made the tour an entertaining (and funny) learning experience based on facts. He also is a great photographer! Overall 10/10 experience, very recommended.

First time at the Giza pyramids

This is a fantastic program. Sherif is a natural communicator and a lot of fun. We were out there for nearly 4 hours and he’s so entertaining and interesting the time just flew by. He knows the locations where to take classic pyramid photos and even talked one guy into “kissing” the Sphinx. The pictures he took of me were the best ones of the trip. We really learned a great deal about Egyptian history and the pyramids and why they were made, how they were made, how they looked originally and why they stopped being built. Really fascinating subject and to think we saw one of the original seven wonders of the world. It was really hot but he finds resting places along the way that are in shade and there is a stop in an ice cream/water shop with a bathroom up near the top. Highly recommended. important information to learn, lots of fun, lots of laughing, time well spent and a great value for the money. PS: It is really hot out in the direct sun and you have to walk up the hill onto the plateau although we went slowly and stopped a few times so be prepared to do some light work. I don’t handle heat very well so I brought a cooling towel and battery powered fan around my neck and those really did seem to make a difference.

Loved visiting Giza with Sherif

Sherif was great, very communicative previously to the tour, the pick up point was easy to reach by Uber. Going with Sherif guaranteed we were not bothered by anyone inside the Giza pyramids and sphinx complex. Also, Sherif knows so much and shares the information in a manner that you can just really appreciate. Also, he takes great pictures! I totally recommend

Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx Walking Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $20 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 The Sphinx Walking Tour take?

+

Plan for about 3 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 The Sphinx Walking Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 160 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 The Sphinx Walking Tour?

+

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 The Sphinx Walking Tour 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 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx Walking Tour?

+

Around 56 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx Walking Tour 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.
