Wonderful time with Sun Pyramids tours
Booked a two days tour with Sun Pyramids in Cairo. First day was wonderful. Was picked from airport by Karim and his driver friend. Next day Mohammad and his driver friend showed me around old Cairo, Citadel, Egyptian Museum and a boat ride in Nile. Had lunch at a wonderful place with view of pyramids. Great day and thanks to all for arranging the trip. Completely hassle free. Excited for rest of the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Sun Pyramids Tours. It has been a pleasure to serve you during your stay in Egypt. We appreciate your review as it encourages us to do better in the next upcoming years. Looking forward to helping you more through your next journeys all around the world!

We would highly recommend Sun Pyramid Tours and Mervat Kefafy
My husband and I booked our 1 day tour with Sun Pyramid Tours and we were fortunate enough to have Mervat Kefafy as our tour guide. Right upon pick up from our hotel we were impressed with the van we were picked up with very comfortable with blinds for our privacy which helped later in the day when I took a nap. There was even water in the van. Mervat starting giving us a brief history of the Egyptian civilization with her awesome pictures. Our first stop was the Saladin Citadel. Beautiful and unique. I was trying to take pictures in a beaded Kaftan and was not allowed to but I appreciate her defending me against the guards, regardless you took a beautiful picture. Our next stop was National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. I was so excited but sadly there was a long line to see the royal mummies. Mervat, again told the guards the line was not acceptable and tried her best to get us a shortcut. Nonetheless, it was amazing to see the mummies, especially Ramses II. She then took us to a local delicious restaurant for a meal and some rest. Our last stop was, old market of Khan El-Khalili. We bought some souvenirs. Thank you so much Sun Pyramids, Mahmoud who helped us book it and Mervat Kefafy. I wish we would have booked our entire 7 days in Egypt with this tour company but sadly we had it booked with another since last year. Stil, Mervat, checked in on me a few days later to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, that was truly special and appreciated! HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUN PYRAMID TOURS AND MERVAT KEFAFY!

Best guide to see Cairo
Mahmoud and our driver Yousey did a wonderful job being our tour guides! We were in need of beautiful items to bring home and gifts for friends and family. He was able to help us find every last item, through his large network of connections around the city. He is patient and works hard to make sure that everything is perfect during your trip. The following day we went to the Egyptian museum and Mahmoud gave us a rich understand of Egypt’s thousands of years long history. We plant come back once the new museum is open in 2021! If you want to shop, dine, or learn about Cairo’s rich history Mahmoud at Sun Pyramids is the perfect guide for you.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo 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 Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo 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 Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo?
+
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 Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo 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 Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo?
+
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 Tour To Egyptian Museum, Cairo Citadel And Old Cairo 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.
