Highlights
Stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, look up at 2.3 million stone blocks, and then ride a camel along the desert ridge with all three Pyramids behind you for the kind of photos people frame. This is the half-day Giza tour with the camel ride included, not as an add-on. Your licensed Egyptologist takes you to the base of the Great Pyramid, the panoramic view point, the Great Sphinx, and onto a camel for 15 to 20 minutes along the ridge with a licensed handler. Back to your Cairo or Giza hotel by lunchtime. A great half-day option for first-time visitors who want the iconic Giza experience without the full-day commitment.

Itinerary
Your Egyptologist meets you at your hotel in the morning. Private air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Plateau, about 30 minutes from central Cairo. You stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, walk its perimeter, and hear the actual history. Time at the panoramic view point where all three Pyramids align for the iconic photo.
Your final stop combines the Great Sphinx of Giza with your included 15 to 20 minute camel ride along the desert ridge. Your Egyptologist explains the Sphinx's disputed age and what it actually represents, then a licensed handler takes you on the camel route along the ridge with the Pyramids framed behind you for photos. No surprise fees, no haggling.

About Cairo
Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.
On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
Top-ranked sights in Cairo: Egyptian Museum (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities), Saqqara (Sakkara), Khan El-Khalili.
