The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid, was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years and took over 20 years to build. The Sphinx, a giant statue with a lion's body and pharaoh's head, was built during the reign of Khafre and represents his divine power and strength. The Sphinx is surrounded by mystery, and there are various legends and theories regarding its construction and purpose. Tourists can explore these structures up close and learn about their history and significance from knowledgeable guides on the Ancient Wonders of Egypt Tour.

Outstanding service from start to finish.

A fantastic experience with this travel agency! We received top-notch service from arrival to departure. The drivers and guides were excellent, professional, and friendly throughout the entire trip. The best guide in Cairo is definitely Omar! He is a true expert in Egyptian history and shares insights you probably won’t hear anywhere else. Overall, the agency organized an amazing 4-day trip for us, which was absolutely unforgettable thanks to their great work. I highly recommend this travel agency! Stan, Czech Republic

King Solomon! Wow… Trip of a lifetime

We only had 2 days because we were traveling by cruise ship out of Alexandria. We booked with Islam guiding our tour. When we arrived we met King Solomon. He was the BEST guide, well educated in the history of Egypt, and he became our friend. He knew the answer to every question, and we had lots. We will be back and will request Solomon as our guide. So many highlights, but visiting the pyramids after hours with many extra perks (because of Solomon), was the wonderful highlight of day one. Then getting to see the sphinx up close and going inside a pyramid to see the beautiful hieroglyphs, highlighted day two. I think the pyramids are on most bucket lists and Islam and Solomon filled our bucket to over flowing. It truly was magical!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your heartfelt message! We’re absolutely delighted that your short stay turned into such a rich and unforgettable experience. Islam and Solomon make a great team, and your kind words about Solomon’s knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail mean the world to us. It’s those extra touches—like the special pyramid access and deep historical insights—that truly bring Egypt to life. We’re thrilled that your bucket was not only filled, but overflowing, and we’ll be here to welcome you again with open arms when you return. Warmest wishes, The Travel2Egypt Team

Left us stranded :(

I had been corresponding and coordinating a 5-day tour, including Cairo and Luxor. And had proposed that payment would be done at the end of each day. For the first 2 days in Cairo, we were greeted by Khaled, who was a good guide. The vehicle, unfortunately, was an older one, and the driver was aggressive. We were left waiting for 20+ min on at least 2 occassions in the desert heat. Payment for each of the 2 days, were promptly made by cash at the end of each day. After completing the 2nd day, the owner reached out to me rather abruptly mentioning that the Luxor portion of my trip was cancelled due to their inability to accept payments in Luxor and "my arrogant behavior". Of course, we didn't want to risk making the entire (significant) amount upfront, lest he didn't show up in Luxor. Further, be wary of whisked away into a "government store" which is a tourist trap containing only overpriced souveniors. Needless to say, all this was very unexpected and left us scrambling to find another operator in Luxor - which we did, and who was far better than this one. My advice would be to seek another operator with better vehicles, and most of all, a better attitude to not leave visitors stranded and stressed.

Response from the operator: Hi Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we regret that your experience with us did not meet your expectations, we would like to clarify a few important points to provide a complete perspective for future travellers. Firstly, it is simply not accurate to state that we agreed to a "day-by-day" payment arrangement. Like any professional travel company, we typically require a deposit before confirming services—especially for multi-city itineraries like the one we arranged for you across Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. In your case, we made an exception and confirmed all arrangements without a deposit, trusting that full payment would be made upon your arrival in Egypt. Unfortunately, from the moment of your arrival, our team experienced a level of behaviour that was unnecessarily confrontational. Despite this, our guide Khaled welcomed you with professionalism and courtesy. When you requested his replacement, we did our best to accommodate you promptly. Regarding the payment issue in Luxor and Aswan, we clearly explained that due to technical restrictions, we could not process payments locally in those cities. Your insistence on day-by-day payments and refusal to proceed with the agreed-upon payment method left us with no choice but to cancel the rest of the tour. We acted transparently and informed you in advance—allowing you the opportunity to make alternative arrangements. As for the stop at the store, this was not a "tourist trap" but simply a location equipped with a point-of-sale terminal, used solely to assist you with card payment as per your request. You ultimately chose to pay in cash instead, which added to the confusion. At no point were you pressured to purchase anything. After 30 years of providing honest, high-quality travel services in Egypt, we pride ourselves on professionalism, flexibility, and transparency. While we strive to meet the needs of every guest, mutual respect is essential for a successful experience. We wish you all the best in your future travels and hope that others reading this will consider the full context. Warm regards,

Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.

How much does Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara cost?

+

Prices start at $50 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 Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara 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 Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 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 Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara?

+

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 Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara 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 Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara?

+

Around 3 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 Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx, Memphis & Saqqara 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 ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, 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.
