This private VIP tour in Giza lasts about three to four hours and includes a visit inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu with special permission from the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. The tour begins with a hotel pickup in Cairo and a drive through the early morning streets to the Giza pyramid complex. Arrival is timed when the area is closed to the public, allowing exclusive access to the pyramids with only the guide present. The visit inside the Great Pyramid starts with entering the ascending passageway leading to the King’s Chamber, which contains a red granite sarcophagus. On the way, visitors pass through the Grand Gallery, a large corridor that provides access to the burial chambers. After the King’s Chamber, the tour continues to the Queen’s Chamber, originally intended as a burial place for a queen. If the Great Pyramid of Khufu is unavailable due to restoration work, the guide will take visitors to either the Pyramid of Khafra or the Pyramid of Menkaure, depending on availability. The tour also includes a descent through the descending passageway to the subterranean chamber carved from the bedrock beneath the pyramid. Inside this chamber, visitors will see a modern barrier on the east wall and a small passageway on the south wall that ends in a dead end. Optional visits to the Sphinx from outside and the Valley Temple from inside are available if the corresponding options are chosen. The tour concludes with a return transfer to the hotel. All service charges and taxes are included. Personal expenses and tipping are not included. A professional Egyptologist guide and private air-conditioned car transfers are provided throughout the tour.
