What you'll see and do
The Pyramids Of Giza
Your tour guide will pick up from your hotel to enjoy your pyramids day Of all of Egypt's major tourist attractions, only one is at the top of any list - the Pyramids of Giza. They're Egypt's three main pyramids, built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 B.C). The pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built as tombs for kings (and queens), and it was an exclusive honor to have such a tomb. However, this tradition only applied in the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Today there are more than 93 pyramids in Egypt; the most famous ones are those at Giza. Now let's go for a little tour around the site of the pyramids and try to explore the magnificence of the area.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The famous Great Pyramid of Khufu is by far the biggest, tallest, and most intact pyramid in Egypt. After its construction, it became one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”, and today, it is the only one of them remaining. For a period of 4300 years, the pyramid was also the tallest building on earth, until the French built the Eiffel Tower in 1889. Khufu’s Pyramid is built entirely of limestone and is considered an architectural masterpiece. It contains around 1,300,000 blocks ranging in weight from 2.5 tons to 15 tons. Its square base covers 13 acres, and its sides measure about 230m (755ft). Its four sides face the four cardinal points precisely and it has an angle of 52 degrees

Pyramid Complex of Khafre
Khafre's Pyramid, or the 2nd Pyramid, is easily recognizable by the layers of its original casing stones that still remain near its summit and this, along with the fact that it actually stands on a higher part of the plateau, gives the impression that it is taller than the Great Pyramid. An optical illusion, as it is only 136m (446 ft) tall, with sides of 214.5m (704ft), a surface area of 11 acres and an angle of 53 degrees. It also has lost some of its original height through the years, once being 143.5m (471ft) tall.

Pyramid of Menkaure
Khafre's son, Menkaure, built the smallest of the 3 main pyramids on the Giza Plateau. This one was only a mere 65.5m (215ft) tall, nowadays 62m (203ft), with sides of 105m (344ft) and an angle of 51.3 degrees. It is thought that this pyramid was altered during its construction, and made a lot bigger than originally planned. The original, smaller pyramid had a simple descending corridor and burial chamber, but when it was enlarged, a new corridor was built with 3 portcullises and a small paneled chamber. Later still, another burial chamber, along with a storeroom were added at a lower level. This pyramid, like its 2 neighbors, has a north facing the entrance.

Great Sphinx
He Great Sphinx, or as the ancients knew it, “Shesep Ankh” or “the living image”, has to be one of the most recognizable constructions in history. Think of the Sphinx and you automatically think of Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Sculpted from soft sandstone, many believe that it would have disappeared long ago had it not been buried in the sand for so many long periods in its lifetime. The body is 60m (200ft) long and 20m (65ft) tall. Its face is 4m (13ft) wide with eyes measuring 2m (6ft) high. It faces the rising sun and was revered so much by the ancients, that they built a temple in front of it.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo
The Egyptian Museum is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East, and houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world. The museum displays an extensive collection spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era. The architect of the building was selected through an international competition in 1895, which was the first of its kind, and was won by the French architect, Marcel Dourgnon. The museum was inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II, and has become a historic landmark in downtown Cairo, and home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces.

Thanks for a great trip!
Having Bishoo as a guide definitely made the day a lot easier. He provided information about history, culture and more as we went through the day. It was great to have somebody to help get through the sites who had experience. Bishoo had a good personality and had fun along the way. He asked my opinion about things and tailored things as needed. The driver battled with traffic and got us around easily and timely. I would definitely recommend this tour for those who are on the fence. Yes, you CAN do these by yourself but honestly it was worth not having any headaches. Just remember that they communicate with you through whatsapp so if you haven’t heard from them, check there first.
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer, Thank you for rating us Excellent. We are so pleased to hear that you spent a lovely time in our beloved country with us.

Beautiful and amazing 👏 😍
I booked with Ramasside tours , as a solo traveler, I met my tour guide for the time I would be in Cairo Egypt, my guide Bishoo was on time , he made me feel very comfortable, the way he shared his knowledge about the city on the ride to the hotel , the didn't sites we went to was just amazing. He was not only my guide but became my friend. I felt safe being a female ,and having a male tour guide. The site and activities that I booked were all checked off and the one that I could not attend example the sound and light show in Cairo where under construction which was not in his control , he still made sure that I attended it in Luxor ... He frequently made sure that I was okay and that I was enjoying myself , which was reassuring. I had a beautiful in Egypt and I had the best tour guide. I would recommend Traveling with Bishoo and if you are booking with Ramasside request him as your guide , you won't be disappointed 😉

Bisho
What can I say other than absolutely amazing!! I was treated so well, encouraged to try everything and do everything. And even though I was a bit scared of the camel ride I felt safe with my guide. The visit to the museum was outstanding and even though I think I know a little about Egyptian history I learnt so much. Bisho went out of his way to get me an awesome Egyptian lunch which was fantastic!! I was assisted in every way Bisho even sorted out at the hotel to get my aircon sorted. Legend!! 100% recommend. Thank-you so much!!
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer I would like to thank you for this review and for your positive points of view. The most important thing of our company is the comfort and enjoyment of the customer during his tour and while in Egypt. We hope you will be back in Egypt again to visit more charming places. Thank you again. Best regards, Magic Cairo Tours

Response from the operator: Dear Katy, Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour with us – Looking forward to welcome you again, Thanks. Best Regards, Bisho

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum?
+
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 Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum?
+
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 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum 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.
