An essential icon of Egypt.
A wonder this immense mole of stone that watches over the horizon with Kefren's pharaonic face and lion body. In his day, his body and head were painted red and the head wore the typical blue and white striped nemes, typically Egyptian garment. It is estimated to date from 2500 BC. At the time of the New Empire there was a ritual around the Sphinx to honor Horus

Great experience visiting the pyramids
Mahmoud Emam was a wonderful guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. He led us on a great experience to the pyramids, while still giving us space and time to explore on our own. Great pickup from hotel, and strongly recommend adding on the camel ride as well.

A Day In Giza
My husband and I travelled to Egypt and only had one day to explore Giza, due to our tight schedule. We landed in Cairo late at night ans stayed overnight at an airport hotel. The next morning, while at breakfast, our kind guide Medhat walked up to us with a “Sun Pyramid Tour” sign and we began our tour promptly. We were picked up in a very nice, clean and air conditioned van. Medhat and our driver Mohammed were both very kind and professional. My husband and I felt very safe with Mohammed as our driver as he navigated the busy streets of Cairo and Giza. Our first stop was at the Pyramid Complex, Medhat got us the tickets and walked us around the whole complex, while teaching us about the ancient Egyptian history and showing us the best photo spots. He was our guide and also acted as our photographer :) Medhat even asked us to give him our camera so he can just kick away as we explored the sights, which was greatly appreciated. Then tour also included a camel ride, which we reaaaally enjoyed because our camel guide was hilarious and took the most amazing pictures of us. After spending around 1.5 at the pyramids, we got back in the car and were taken to an essence/perfume shop. It was fine, we ended up buying a tiny bottle even though the owner clearly would have liked us to buy more. Then (at this point we were already pretty tired) we were taken to a Papyrus shop. Once again, the owners were trying to get us to buy lots of things, which we didn’t. We only bought one souvenir. Then we told our guide that we’d really like to be taken back to our hotel because at that point we were really really tired. Medhat said that there would only be a couple more stops (it seemed like he really felt bad for us being so tired but he was probably ordered to take us to all of the spots by the tour company. These companies all work with different shops who expect them to bring tourists to them and then they all get a commission. So then we got back in the car and Mohammed drove us through the insanely busy and chaotic streets of Giza. We then made a stop at a local restaurant and had some great local food (which was included in the price). Medhat even offered to get us more food but we were both really full :) so we politely declined. The food was amazing, it was an vegetarian dish made with lentils, chickpeas, rice, pasta and harissa. And we also had some sweet rice with cinnamon as dessert. Of course, after we ate, we felt even more tired. So when were taken to a fabric store, we literally just got out of the car, walked around and the store, said no thank you and walked back. At that point we were really over it. Last stop was a jewelry store and then we were finally taken to our hotel Mena House, which was back at the Pyramids. I was really happy with Medhat as our guide and Mohammed as our driver and I would suggest the tour to anyone. Just be aware that those stops at the shops are mandatory, even though they don’t make them seem as there since there aren’t mentioned during the booking process. That’s why I’m giving them 4 instead of 5 stars! But, like I previously, I can’t fault Medhat or Mohammed for that, since I’m sure that’s what they’re told to do! With that being said, I’ll definitely book Sun Pyramid Tours again for our next trip to Egypt.

Excellent Private Tour to Pyramids & Sphinx
My husband and I had a fantastic private tour to Giza Pyramids and Sphinx. The Pyramids and the great Sphinx were absolutely amazing! Our tour guide, Mahmoud Mohammed Emam, was very knowledgeable and accommodating, always asking us if we needed anything. He provided excellent mini lectures on the history of Egypt (both ancient and modern times) as well as Egyptian culture. His extensive knowledge was indeed very impressive. On our way back, he politely asked if we were interested in visiting any shops, and as we wanted to buy some good quality souvenirs (at a fixed price), we stopped by at two stores (one for papyrus and the other for jewelry). Surprisingly, in these shops nobody pushed us to buy anything but they let us freely look around. For those who are planning to visit Egypt, I highly recommend Sun Pyramids Tours especially with our guide Mahmoud Mohammed Emam!
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you very much for choosing Sun Pyramids Tours. It has been a pleasure to serve you during your stay in Egypt. Will make sure to inform both Ahmed and Omar of your kind words and support :) We appreciate your review as it encourages us to do better in the next upcoming years. Looking forward to helping you more through your next journeys all around the world!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included cost?
+
Prices start at $31 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 Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included 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 Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included?
+
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 Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included 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 Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Transfers and Tickets Included 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.
