The Knick Pyramid was built in the time of King Snefru and this was the second attempt to build a real pyramid. As the third highest pyramid in Egypt, the Pyramid of Snofru is one of the most impressive Egyptian sights today. Since the pyramids of Dahshur were in a military restricted area for a long time and were only opened to the public in the mid-1990s, they are still relatively unknown and still an insider tip among Egyptian sights.

Great day in Egypt
The tour was great. The two drivers were very friendly and drove top-notch. The tour guide was especially good. We had three children with us, and she was super accommodating to us and the kids, with very in-depth knowledge. So, a clear recommendation.

Great experience
We did the tour to the pyramids Giza, Saqqara, Dashur, Memphis from Cairo, we had booked a private tour exclusively for us. It was 2 amazing days, all perfectly organized, we always felt very safe and secure our guide, Mr Rafik was very much caring for us and our well-being, he was always respectful and had even cared for our vegetarian lunch. Much more important- he is super knowledgeable and shared many background information about historical details and latest scientific results. As well during the driving he explained much about country, culture and people. We have learnt a lot and asides that we have had great time and really enjoyed. We can only recommend this tour and the organization behind it.

Relaxed and worry free
I had such a great experience with Osman, and his team Malek, Atef, Rafat and all the other drivers. Osman and his team facilitated my entire trip from Hurghada to Marsa Alam, Aswan, Luxor, Cairo and many more stops in between. They took care of all the organisation and that I will have an unforgettable experience. They know the area very well, to avoid crowds and provide you with all the detail there is to know about Egypt's history and today's culture. Highly recommend him and his team.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur cost?
+
Prices start at $303 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur?
+
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 tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur?
+
Around 17 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pyramids tour to Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
