Enjoy your lunch
Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! You will find a total of three pyramids here: the Chephren, Cheops and Mykerinos pyramids. You can discover the area on foot, on horseback or by camel. Duration between 2 and 3 hours.
After visiting the pyramids of Giza, you will go to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and most preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The Sphinx was carved from the remainder of a limestone mound that served as a quarry for the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Duration approx. 20-30 minutes.
Pass by: Since all buses have to wait for the convoy leaving Cairo for Sharm at the end of the day, you will make one or two of the following stops: characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques of making papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also help the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (While waiting for the convoy to return)

Excellent.
Beautiful experience, I recommend it to everyone, thank you.
One of our best experience.
My friend and I had a great day with Hussein, this guy is really awesome, he’s kind, smart, and nice. Thanks to him we were able to discover and learn a lot about the pyramids and the history of the Egyptian empire. It was simply pleasant. And zero hidden defects. I thank Hussein again for having here for us, it is the best guide you can find if you are really interested in the history of Egypt. everything went smoothly.
A Truly Memorable Day
A truly memorable day with Manal. The whole day was brilliantly organized from start to finish. Apart from the delay getting back on the plane to Sharm (which we were informed could happen) We booked through TUI at our Hotel at Sharm Rixos Adults Only and took the plane to Cairo. Honestly it will stay with us forever. Manal you are on the ball baby! You know your stuff. I liked it when you said to us if the guy tries to get any more money off you for the horse and cart ride at the Pyramids don't do it! Obviously we did and she asked us if we'd like her to get the money back! I loved her spirit. Thank you Manal for a day we won't forget.
Wonderful
