Outstanding Giza Guide
Our tour guide, Khalid Ali, was excellent. He is a qualified Egyptologist and certified tour guide who is very knowledgeable, personable, and adaptable (considering our two young kids). He showed us everything that we wanted to see and was outstanding in guiding us through some of the most famous sites in the world. Highly recommend him!

It was an amazing day!!!
Pick up was on time, first we started with Sakkara, then Memphis, Dahshur and Giza at the end of the day. Sunset in Giza was breathtaking! Everything was awesome and my private tour guide Walaa Farah was the best, she explained me everything and we had lots of fun as well :)!!! I highly recommend this trip!!!

Great trip to less commonly visited sites
Went for a half day trip to Saqqara, Dahsur and Memphis, with just a driver (ie. no guide). My driver Ali was very friendly and patient especially! I believe the typical duration for similar excursions is typically 4-5 hours, but being obsessed with taking the ‘perfect’ pictures I took 6 hours. Ali was also helpful in suggesting a couple of local koshary restaurants. Saqqara and especially Dahshur were significantly less touristy (and fewer touts) than the Giza plateau - highly recommended for those who prefer a quieter visiting experience or want pictures without hundreds of visitors in the background.

Highly recommend for any Cairo trip!
This excursion truly beat our expectations! Khaled was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable. He took time to answer all of our questions in detail and never made us feel rushed. We chose this experience over our hotel options as this included all three sites at once and I highly recommend. We chose the option that included a driver, guide, and tickets included.

Exceptional and unforgettable
Our tour guide Abdula was exceptional and made our experience in Egypt warm, welcoming and unforgettable as we wish to come back as kindness and good heart made all the difference in the world. We have travelled globally on all continents and Egyptian people are the best. Irena

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 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 Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, 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 & Sphinx Of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara?
+
Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pyramids & Sphinx Of Giza, 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 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.
