What makes Full Day Tour on Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, and Bazaar a unique experience ?
Depart from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza with a knowledgeable tour guide to commence your journey. Explore the Giza Pyramids, where you’ll marvel at the Great Pyramids – Cheops, Chephren & Mykerinos. Discover the Valley Temple, where priests mummified the deceased body of King Chephren. Get up close to The Sphinx, the legendary guardian overlooking the vast funeral complex, boasting a lion body and the head of King Chephren. Please note that entry inside any of the pyramids is not included and requires additional tickets, which can be purchased during the tour.
The Great Pyramid of Giza stands as the eldest and grandest among the trio of pyramids within the Giza pyramid complex adjacent to modern-day El Giza, Egypt. It holds the distinction of being the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is the sole structure to have endured largely intact through the ages.
The second-largest pyramid at Giza and in Egypt was constructed for Khafre, the third pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty during the Old Kingdom Period of Ancient Egypt around 2540 BC. Khafre, alternatively known by the Greek name Chephren, was the son of Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid, and the grandson of Sneferu, another prominent architect of Ancient Egypt. The tour includes an external visit to the pyramid; however, entrance to the interior requires an additional ticket, which can be purchased during the visit.

Located in Downtown Cairo, on the northern side of Midan Tahrir, the Egyptian Museum boasts one of the globe’s most significant assemblies of ancient artifacts. Housed within its grand, uniquely pinkish domed structure are the dazzling treasures of Tutankhamun and other revered pharaohs. Alongside these illustrious items rest the grave goods, mummies, jewelry, eating utensils, and toys of ordinary Egyptians whose identities have faded into obscurity. Exploring the museum is akin to embarking on a captivating journey through the annals of time.
Midan Tahrir, also known as Liberation Square, became globally renowned in early 2011 when millions of Egyptians gathered here to overthrow then-president Hosni Mubarak. On ordinary days, it functions as an average giant roundabout, albeit one where several major roads intersect. The primary attraction drawing visitors here is the imposing powder-pink structure of the Egyptian Museum.
Dating back to the 14th century, Khan El-Khalili in Old Cairo has stood as a pivotal hub for cultural and economic endeavors. Delve into the rich tapestry of Khan El-Khalili market and its environs with our comprehensive guide. The tour concludes with a convenient drop-off at your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
