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)

Traveler reviews
Abou is a great guide.
Abou: a guide who speaks French, it's so rare.... He is passionate and provides clear explanations. A lover of the small museum. Always concerned about the well-being of his "clients."
Not to be missed
Great well-organized experience! Our guide Khaled was very engaging and friendly. Even though the trip is long, it is absolutely worth it.
Book Tour Egypt is the best.
We booked both the transfer from the airport to the hotel and a day tour by bus from Sharm to Cairo. I highly recommend it because they are professional and speak Italian, which in Sharm is worth more than a camel 😅. The taxi driver who picked us up at arrival was waiting for us at the airport exit with a sign; he was a calm and polite young man, the only polite taxi driver we encountered there, believe me. Then I must highly recommend our guide in Cairo, Mr. Mohamed. He took us to the old museum, the pyramids, lunch, and various perfume and papyrus shops, always staying close to us, helping us negotiate prices, and keeping the street vendors at bay, who are everywhere. He spoke perfect Italian, was very knowledgeable, ready to answer any extra questions, and friendly; we joked and laughed all day. In the end, he gifted each of us in the group a small papyrus as a keepsake. I cannot forget to mention the driver of the minibus with whom we toured Cairo; he was smiling and calm and had prepared fresh water for us before entering the pyramids, which, believe me, saved my life at least. Without a doubt, I would choose them again.
