The Best of Egypt
In November 2024 my husband and I were fortunate to take what has always been a dream vacation of ours to Egypt. Thanks to a friend, we were encouraged to travel with Ahmed Motawie’s Egyptian based company, Egypt Guided Tours. The 2 week trip itinerary was aptly called ‘The Best of Egypt’ and lived up to it’s name in every way. From pyramids and tombs to temples and museums traveling with Ahmed, we never felt rushed or overwhelmed with information touring the sights. As an experienced guide and Egyptologist, Ahmed gave us an exceptional insight into Egyptian history and culture and was always eager to answer our many questions. The Nile River cruise and time at a resort in Hurghada on the Red Sea even allowed us time to relax and appreciate the natural beauty of Egypt, a perfect balance to exploring the many historic wonders. There were so many wonderful experiences, from wandering the streets of old Cairo to buggy rides, boat trips and of course the highlight camel ride across the desert at Giza. Every aspect of our trip was taken care of, from our arrival at the airport to our departure for home, including all transportation, flights, accommodation and entry fees. Ahmed was truly there for us in every way, sharing his knowledge and his country in a way that made for a very unique and special vacation. Our friend promised us this would be a vacation of a lifetime; Ahmed and Egypt Guided Tours delivered on that promise. Thanks Ahmed. This is one vacation we will always treasure.

A journey through ancient Egypt
Our 10-day tour to Egypt was an unforgettable experience. We spent 4 days in Cairo, where we visited the iconic pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum amongst other amazing places, all of which were awe-inspiring. The places we were taken to purchase perfume, spices and carpets were all very professionally run and Ahmed had a great rapport with the businesses. The 3-night Nile cruise was a highlight, allowing us to explore the temples of Luxor, Karnak, and Edfu, with the added luxury of cruising through picturesque landscapes. A boat excursion to the Nubian village allowed us a quick swim in the Nile and a lesson at the charming Nubian school. The hot air balloon ride was a highlight of the trip for us. Floating over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise with another 30+ balloons around us was an incredible sight. The few nights we spent in Hurghada were a nice, relaxing end to the trip, with plenty of time for snorkeling and enjoying the Red Sea. Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable, providing us with rich historical insights that enhanced our experience. Overall, the trip was well-organized, comfortable, and absolutely worth the money spent. We got to see the major sights, learn a lot, and experience the best of what Egypt has to offer. We will not forget Ahmed’s passion and commitment to helping us understand the glory of ancient Egypt. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo Museum 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 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 Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo 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 to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo Museum 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, The Sphinx and Cairo 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Giza Pyramids, The Sphinx and Cairo 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.
