    4.5 Stars Our guide mahmoud was very informative and explained very well! The tour was a good length, pick up at 8:30 drop off at 15:30 - and he was very flexible in accommodating our wishes :) Half star off because he was on the phone a lot the last few hours

    Great Tour, Flexible, and Amazing Value

    Amazing tour! Our guide Medo was not only very knowledgeable, but also funny and took lots of pictures for us. They were also flexible, since we had to be at the airport in the afternoon. Medo managed time well so we were able to see all the main sites, have lunch, visit a papyrus institute and an essence shop. It was also cheaper than all the others available both on Tripadvisor and on the hotel. Highly recommend!

    Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $13 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, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip 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 Cairo is not rushed.

    Is Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip?

    +

    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, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip 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, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; Bottled water; Hotel pick up and drop-off; and All transfers by A/C Van. Not included: Lunch; Entrance Fees; and Camel Ride Great Tour at Giza Pyramids. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 181 listed pickup locations in and around Cairo. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, German and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip?

    +

    Is Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara Trip wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
