Afterward, continue on toward the Great Sphinx. The Sphinx has the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body and dates back to the time of Chephren. This sphinx was made to guard the pyramids of King Chefren.

Jasmine was very kind and very knowledgeble
Great
Mohammed Wagih was a great guide. We were four ladies and he was very protective. He made suggestions for the program and gave us more time when we asked for it. Highly recommended
Excellent Tour!
Traveling alone can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Nasser made me feel completely comfortable, safe, and welcome throughout the entire day. From the moment we met, he was professional, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The Giza Pyramids were breathtaking, and Nasser shared fascinating historical insights that brought the site to life. The Grand Egyptian Museum was equally impressive, and his explanations helped me gain a much deeper appreciation for Egypt’s rich history and culture. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated his patience, kindness, and attention to detail. He was always happy to answer my questions and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the tour. He also knew the best locations for photos and helped me capture wonderful memories of this special day. Everything was well organized, stress-free, and enjoyable from beginning to end. Visiting the pyramids was truly a dream come true and one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. I highly recommend Nasser to anyone visiting Cairo, especially solo travelers looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy guide and a personalized experience. Thank you, Nasser, for your hospitality and for making my visit so memorable. May God bless you and your family. 🇪🇬🏛️✨
Beautiful outing
It was great! Wonderful guide! Very flexible, as we were traveling with a toddler.
Comprehensive pyramid tour
If you're short on time and want to see not only the pyramids in Giza, but also the wonderful sites in Saqqara and Dahshur, this is your tour. It's well organised, they take care of everything, you can relax in the car, have your guide give you detailed explanation on sites and explore then a bit on your own. The lunch was fantastic too! Thank you to Hadeer and Ezat, who came to pick me up even in advance and was great all around.
