Great day at the pyramids and Spinx, topped off by a typical Egyptian lunch at the end
Great trip, and about the exact amount of time! I would recommend doing the VIP package with the lunch, it made it a great to have the lunch at the end of it. Suhaila, our guide, and the driver were both great! She was good at explaining a key points to us, giving us time on our own to take pictures, and great at offering to take for us. Also let us make minor tweaks to the trip to fit what we wanted to do, which was great. Well worth the money paid and great way to see the pyramids and Sphinx.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really happy to hear that you had a great day at the pyramids and Sphinx and enjoyed the Egyptian lunch at the end. Suhaila will be very happy to know that you enjoyed her explanations and that she helped make the tour comfortable and easygoing. We’re also glad you had the flexibility to enjoy the sites at your own pace and make the small changes you wanted. Thank you for choosing Travel Me Egypt and for recommending our tour. We hope to welcome you again in Egypt! Best regards, Travel Me Egypt

Awesome tour
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing VIP Experience with Sam! We had an absolutely incredible experience visiting the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, and a huge part of what made the day so special was our amazing tour guide, Sam! From the very beginning, Sam was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. He made sure everything was organized and that we were comfortable throughout the entire experience. His knowledge of Egyptian history and the pyramids made the tour much more interesting and memorable. The VIP private tour was fantastic! Getting to see the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, ride the camels, and go inside the pyramid was truly an unforgettable experience. Sam also made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take pictures and enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. What really stood out was Sam’s personality and genuine hospitality. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time and felt well taken care of. If you’re visiting Cairo and planning to see the pyramids, I highly recommend asking for Sam as your guide! He helped make our experience one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Thank you, Sam, for an unforgettable day! 🇪🇬🐪🏜️⭐️
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing review! Sam will be really happy to read your kind words. We’re glad he made you feel comfortable and gave you the time to enjoy the pyramids, the camel ride, and the whole experience without feeling rushed. It’s always great to hear that our guests enjoyed not only the tour, but also the time spent with their guide. Thank you for choosing Travel Me Egypt and for recommending Sam. We hope to see you again in Egypt! Best regards, Travel Me Egypt

Highly recommended Giza Pyramid trip
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Giza Pyramids Experience with Mohammed and Saied! We had a wonderful and memorable experience visiting the Giza Pyramids, and a big part of that was thanks to our fantastic guide, Mohammed Maksoud, and our driver, Saied. Mohammed was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and very professional. He explained the history of the pyramids and the different sites in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour, gave us enough time to enjoy each place, and helped make our visit feel relaxed rather than rushed. Saied was also an excellent driver—punctual, courteous, and very helpful. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Mohammed and Saied, for taking such good care of us and for making our visit to the Giza Pyramids so special. We truly enjoyed our day and would happily recommend both of you to anyone visiting Cairo and Giza! 🇪🇬❤️ Highly recommended!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 153 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch?
+
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 VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch?
+
Around 54 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Private Giza Pyramids Sphinx Camel Ride Inside Pyramid, Lunch 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.
