This private Cairo layover trip lasts between four and six hours and starts and ends at Cairo airport. The tour can begin any time from 7 am to 1 pm. Upon exiting the terminal, travelers meet an English-speaking guide holding a sign with their name. They then travel by private, air-conditioned vehicle to Giza. During the transfer, the guide provides information about Egypt and its ancient civilization. The first stop is the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Visitors spend about one hour here while the guide explains the pyramid’s history, construction, and purpose. The tour then continues to the Pyramid Complex of Khafre, the middle pyramid built by Khufu’s son Chephren. Visitors spend about one hour exploring the complex, including the burial chambers inside the pyramid. Next, the group stops at a panoramic viewpoint where all five Giza pyramids can be seen together, a good place for photographs. The final stop is the Great Sphinx near the valley temple. Visitors spend about 30 minutes at the Sphinx, which has the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent Khafre. Camel rides and entry inside any of the pyramids are available for an additional fee. The tour includes pickup and drop-off at Cairo airport, a knowledgeable English-speaking guide (other languages available for an extra charge), bottled water, snacks such as chips, and a welcome breakfast with Egyptian coffee. Entrance fees and tipping are not included. After the visit, travelers are returned to Cairo airport.
