The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), located in Giza, Egypt, is the largest of the three pyramids of Giza and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built around 2600 BC as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. This pyramid is an iconic symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization and a testament to the architectural and engineering accomplishments of the time. The Great Pyramid of Cheops stands at a height of approximately 146 meters (481 feet) and held the record as the tallest man-made structure for thousands of years until the construction of the steeple of Old St. Paul’s Cathedral in London in 1221 CE. It consists of an estimated 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing an average of 2.5 to 15 tons. The precision and accuracy with which these massive stones were quarried, transported, and placed together is a remarkable feat of ancient engineering.

The Pyramid of Menkaure, also known as Mykerinos, is one of the three pyramids located at the Giza site near Cairo, Egypt[1]. It was built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around 2515 BC (though dating of Egyptian pyramids can be imprecise). It was constructed for Pharaoh Menkaure as his tomb. The Pyramid of Menkaure stands at approximately 65 meters (213 feet) tall, making it the smallest of the three pyramids at Giza. It is thought to have been built by the architect Hemon, who also worked on the nearby Pyramid of Khufu. The pyramid is made of limestone and was originally covered in smooth, polished Tura limestone. Much of this facing has since been removed, revealing the rougher inner layer of the pyramid. The pyramid has three smaller pyramids for the queen consorts, and a mortuary temple located adjacent to the pyramid.

Pyramid Complex of Khafre
Khafre's Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khafre or the Pyramid of Chefren, is one of the iconic pyramids located on the Giza Plateau in Egypt. It is the second largest pyramid and is believed to have been built as a burial tomb for Pharaoh Khafre, who was the fourth ruler of the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The Pyramid of Khafre stands at a height of approximately 136 meters (446 feet) and was constructed using limestone blocks. Although it is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), it appears taller due to its location on higher ground. One of the distinguishing features of Khafre's Pyramid is the remaining casing stones at its apex, which contribute to its unique appearance. Some of the original casing stones made of highly polished white limestone can still be seen near the top of the structure.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx lies on the east side of the complex. Current consensus among Egyptologists is that the head of the Great Sphinx is that of Khafre. Along with these major monuments are a number of smaller satellite edifices, known as "queens" pyramids, causeways and valley pyramids. after the tour is finished you will be transferred back to your Hotel.

It forms the northernmost part of the 16,000 ha Pyramid Fields in the Western Desert edge of the Nile Valley that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Memphis and its Necropolis.

! Unforgettable day!
Good morning. The tour exceeded all our expectations thanks to our guide Omar, who accompanied us at all times to the planned itinerary, apart from that we wanted to see several mastabas monuments... and without problems accompanied us, without haste, taking pictures and explaining the history and curiosities of the Old Empire and the 4th Dynasty. We spent 3 more hours in Gizeh with him, and all fantastic. Then the car was waiting for the return. Thank you very much for the attention received and thank you very much to Omar as a guide.
Response from the operator: ¡Buenos días! Muchísimas gracias por compartir esta maravillosa reseña 😊 Nos alegra enormemente saber que la excursión superó sus expectativas y que disfrutaron tanto de la experiencia junto a nuestro guía Omar. Le haremos llegar sus amables palabras, sin duda será una gran motivación para él. Agradecemos de corazón su confianza y esperamos volver a recibirlos pronto para otra experiencia inolvidable en Egipto. Best regards, Emo Tours Swiss

Khufu Pyramid Secrets Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Khufu Pyramid Secrets Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Khufu Pyramid Secrets Tour 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Khufu Pyramid Secrets Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Khufu Pyramid Secrets 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 Khufu Pyramid Secrets Tour 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 Khufu Pyramid Secrets Tour?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Khufu Pyramid Secrets 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 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.
