Fantastic private tour thank you osama
We booked a private tour my sister and I.we wanted to see the pyramids and museum. We were collected from hotel at 4.00am we flew no sooner did we take off we were descending. About 45 mins flight We had a private car for the day from airport to to our stops. It was catered for what we wanted to do . We had wanted to go to Mac Donald for lunch but there were closed so we did KFC instead . The pyramids were fantastic better then I remembered . Alot of improvement with bus parks restaurants proper raised walking paths. They seemed to have stopped all the hawkers trying to sell there wears they are all in a designated place and you can chose to walk and look and but or not. I have always used zizo Sharm life for over 20 years as found very helpful and professional. Our guide Osama was brilliant very knowledgeable he seem to know exactly what we wanted to look at and show us the best ,very safe with him and couldn't do enough for us. We had finished earlier we've seen the new museum fantastic well worth a trip and we didn't realize that you needed to go to another museum to see the artifacts and the mummies so he arranged for us to do that because which was so pleased we did it. We then cut out journey back to the airport which takes about an hour each way and arrive back at our hotel very tired.
Response from the operator: Dear Linda, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you and your sister had a fantastic day exploring the Pyramids and the museums. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the experience from the moment you arrived in Cairo, and that the tour was tailored to what you wanted to see. I’m also very glad that Osama took good care of you and helped arrange the visit to the other museum so you could see the artifacts and mummies as well. Your kind words about the improvements at the Pyramids and the overall organization mean a lot, and we truly appreciate your continued trust in us over the past 20 years. We hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future for another great adventure! Warm regards.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $5 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 Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride?
+
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 to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride 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 Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride?
+
Around 11 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Saqqara and Camel Ride 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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.
