The tour’s highlight is a two-hour visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where thousands of ancient artifacts are displayed, including treasures of King Tutankhamun.

There is an option to enter the Great Pyramid or take a horse carriage or camel ride at extra cost. A stop for panoramic views of all three pyramids lasts around 30 minutes. The Great Sphinx and the nearby Valley Temple of Khafre are also visited, each for about 30 minutes, with explanations from an Egyptologist guide. This full-day tour lasts about eight hours and starts with pickup at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Transportation is by air-conditioned vehicle throughout the day. Lunch is provided at a local Egyptian restaurant. Bottled water, entrance tickets to the Pyramids-Sphinx area and the museum (if selected), and a professional Egyptologist guide are included. Return to your accommodation in Cairo or Giza concludes the day. Pickup from Alexandria Port is available if that option is selected.
