- The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Commonly referred to as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, this museum in Cairo, Egypt, houses a vast collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. It boasts 120,000 items, with a significant portion on display and the rest stored.
- Pyramids of Giza - As the last standing wonder of the ancient world, the Giza Pyramids have, for nearly 4000 years, sparked curiosity with their extraordinary shape, perfect geometry, and immense size. Research over the centuries has provided some answers to the questions of their construction and purpose. Built as grand tombs by order of the pharaohs, they were erected by large teams of workers. Today, they stand as a remarkable testament to the power, organization, and accomplishments of ancient Egypt. Entry to the Pyramids of Giza Plateau is included, while entry inside the pyramids requires an additional fee.
- Great Sphinx - Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this statue, featuring a man’s head and a lion’s body, was named the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks due to its resemblance to their mythical winged creature that posed riddles and punished those who failed to solve them. Geological studies suggest it was carved from the bedrock at the base of the causeway during Khafre’s reign, likely depicting his likeness.
- Egypt Nile Felucca - Experience a peaceful morning or evening on the Nile, taking in the city’s views and the sunrise or sunset from a traditional Felucca after a bustling day in Cairo.

Fabulous experience - The pre trip arrangements together with communication very good.
The day was seamless, but it was made all the more enjoyable thanks to our driver Youssef who did an outstanding job navigating the Ciaro traffic and made us feel safe.
Wassim our font of all knowledge guide was amazing nothing too much trouble. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Brilliant day with highly knowledgeable guide. - Positives
• Excellent Communication, with Ahmed, from booking right through has been brilliant
• your support in organising the trip
• Mr Ali was an absolutely superb guide and we are really grateful to him for his expertise, knowledge and fun. We learnt so much!
• Long day with early start - but totally worth it
• Transfers and driver, comfortable vehicles and safe, friendly and helpful drivers
• Very smooth booking and day
• Sadly we ran out of time for the river cruise but the driver and Ali allowed us to stop and have a photo by the Nile on the way to the airport
• lunch - delicious food, and plenty of it. Very clean place and friendly staff
• We opted to do the new Grand Egyptian Museum, and I would highly recommend doing this. It is incredible!
Negatives
• Due to the accommodating the GEM museum and Cairo traffic we ran out of time for the River Nile. The museum had only been open a week or so though, so this was possibly an oversight with it being a new offering.
• I felt obliged to spend more money on the tour on the multiple shopping stops, we didn’t really enjoy this aspect and are not great with bartering! Personally, I would have preferred to have omitted this and would even have made a suggested tip to cover the losses in commission to avoid it!

Easy to manage and a great experience! - We had a great time in Kairo. There were 8 of us. They booked us round-trip flights. We had a modern, air-conditioned minibus with a driver and a very friendly and professional tour guide at our disposal all day. We had several historical questions and he was able to answer them all. He gave us comprehensive information. We also had a pleasant cruise on the Nile, and then we got to know the pyramids and the large museum. We were enriched with lifelong experiences, regardless of age. This team is very fast and experienced organizers. We also had a delicious lunch. We highly recommend it to those who want to learn about the history and everyday life of Cairo. From morning to night, we might see a little bit of everything. High-quality program with a professional team. Perfect value for money. All costs are included in the price, no hidden costs, reliable team. If you want to experience every side of Cairo, choose this team.

Long but will do it again if we ever have a chance - If you have a (long) day to spare, then the trip from Sharm El-Sheikh to the pyramids would be the perfect way to spend it. We are so happy that we made this decision after a long deliberation. Although that day there were no available seats on the flights to Cairo, Ahmed offered us a viable alternative to travel by car. The trip took the same amount of time and we enjoyed the privilege of a private tour. As soon as we arrived at the museum, we were met by the very knowledgeable guide Basem, who told us fascinating stories about the exhibits in the museum, took us on a short boat ride on the Nile, and then walked with us amongst the pyramids. Thank you for being patient with us and helping us immerse ourselves into the spell of the ancient times. Well worth the long travel to and back from Cairo. Dont forget sunscreen and hats. Some snacks and cool drinks for the road will be nice to pack although the drivers made regular stops and one could buy those at the petrol stations.

Great Tour - Overall a very good experience and would recommend. Both drivers in Sharm and Cairo were great and the tour guide Ali was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Well worth the money especially the Grand Museum. Only few let downs were being asked to pay extra for the flight when booking as you shouldn’t promote something you can’t provide and also near the end of the tour you are taken to a perfume store and expected to buy something. Apart from these 2 points everything else was spot on, my nan has walking difficulties and can’t do long distances but she was fine with enough places to sit down and not walking too far each time. Overall happy with what we got

Great day out - Great day out to see the pyramids! Well organised and both our taxi driver and tour guide were friendly and knowledgeable.
Only downside is the tour finished and we had 6 hours until our flight so had a long wait at the airport. Our taxi driver recognised we had a long wait and offered to take us anywhere we wanted, we stopped off at the Nile for a photo.
But overall loved seeing the pyramids and being welcomed by tour guide and taxi driver

Amazing trip - Great day trip out to see the Pyramids! We were greeted at the airport by Ahmed who was our driver for the day, very friendly and had some snacks and water in the car for us. We had 5 hours at the end of the day before our flight so Ahmed gave us the option to do anything we wanted to save us waiting too long at the airport.
The tour guide, Shimaa, was very knowledgeable and did a great job showing us around.
A very long day and our tour finished with 6 hours before our flight which is the only frustration.
But overall great trip, Ahmed and Shimaa were great at showing us around and we felt safe with them.

Good Tour - The trip to the pyramids with an Italian-speaking guide was a bit disappointing, but he more than made up for it with the GEM tour. The Nile at sunset was unforgettable. The driver, Mohamed Hegazy, was exceptional!!”
