Day tour to great pyramids of giza, sphinx, saqqara and memphis

We got a private tour under misr travel at usd110/pax including entrance fee. our driver Mohammed and tour guide faten are highly recommended. We started out from cairo at 9am to memphis where we visited statue of king ramses and alabaster sphinx. Then to saqqara where we went under the pyramid and visited the high priest tomb. We stopped by at a carpet making school but did not buy anything as price is very high. Lunch not included so we stopped at a restaurant that sells the best falafel i’ve had. Then to pyramids and sphinx in giza. We did not buy tickets to enter the pyramids and took pictures only. You can ride camels at the panoramic park and the view is wonderful. There is light show 7-8pm but we did not stay to watch. Instead we enjoyed visits to 3pyramids papyrus center and merit center el bazaar where i got my own cartouche. We got back to hotel by 5pm. Loved every moment and next time will go inside pyramids giza and do camel riding!

Response from the operator: Thank you very much we are looking forward meeting you in near future

Awesome Trip so Saquara and Gizeh

We booked the tour only one day ahead with eid. Hosny was our Tourguide. He is a very save driver and gave us precious hints and advices. Even in the middle of the Bridge over the Nile he stopped for us to take a picture. He even knows decent places for authentic, good and inexpensive food. Thank you for the 10 Point of 10 Tour! Jens & Lars

Response from the operator: Thank you very much we are looking forward meeting you in near future

Giza’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Giza’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra cost?

+

Prices start at $26 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra?

+

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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra?

+

Around 2 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra?

+

Included: Bottled water; Lunch; and Tourguide. Not included: Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Giza’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 193 listed pickup locations in and around Cairo. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Giza’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra offered in?

+

It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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’s Grandeur – Great Pyramids, Memphis & Saqarra?

+
