A Wonderful Day Trip Outside of Cairo
We really wanted to see the Bent Pyramid, and this tour gave us that—as well as a lot of the known history of the Dashur pyramids and a wonderful trip to Dashur Today farm. We just expected lunch, but we had tea in the treetops, “helped” make bread, and saw firsthand the farming techniques and handcrafts of the area. Mohammed, our guide, and Omar, our driver, were both great.
Response from the operator: thank you so much

Inspiring from pyramid to table.
It was an amazing experience! It was very important to see the Bent Pyramid for me. It is such a crucial part of the development of Egyptian pyramid building. It did not disappoint. However, the highlight was the meal on the private farm. What an experience to sit and eat traditional Egyptian food made the way ancient Egyptians would have made it with a family that truly knows hospitality!
Response from the operator: thank you so much

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch?
+
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 Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch 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 Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Dahshur Tour To Pyramids and Egyptian Farmland with Lunch 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.
