Itinerary

  1. Your private guide and driver meet you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for a smooth ride to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Enjoy local insights as you pass through Cairo’s dynamic neighborhoods. Begin your tour in the museum's Grand Hall, home to the towering statue of Ramses II. Capture your first photos and soak in the grandeur of the space. Wander through beautifully curated exhibits showcasing thousands of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Your private Egyptologist guide brings each object to life — from mummies and hieroglyphs to ancient tools and statues. Discover pre-dynastic relics, pharaonic treasures, and rare finds from recent excavations. Before departing, stroll the museum's landscaped grounds and snap a photo with the distant Pyramids of Giza in the background. Relax as your driver takes you back to your hotel after the end of the tour.

About Giza

Giza, on the edge of Cairo, is home to the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx and a desert plateau that has drawn travellers for thousands of years.

The plateau holds three great pyramids, built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, along with smaller queens' pyramids and rows of nobles' tombs. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, and the Great Sphinx keeps watch below, carved from the bedrock beside Khafre's valley temple.

Top-ranked sights in Giza: Sphinx (Great Sphinx of Giza), Giza Pyramids, Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu Pyramid).
