    Full description

    Embark on a full-day tour to the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, Memphis, and Sakkara from Cairo. Learn about the treasures of the ancient world with your guide and enjoy a delicious lunch. Start your tour by visiting the Great Pyramids - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. The highlight of this section is getting close up to the Sphinx - the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren.

    Admire the impressive statue and get your photo taken beside it. You will then visit Sakkara, a 27 km journey away from Cairo. The highlight of this section is the Step Pyramid. Built for King Zoser, it is considered an important part of the process of the pyramid evolution. Finally, you'll head over to Memphis. Not the home of Elvis, of course, but the ancient capital of Egypt!

    The day was amazing, nothing bad to say. The guide Essam from Emo tours is super friendly, helpful, his knowledge about Egypt in general is impressive, in addition he has several ideas to take excellent photos, it helps a lot in that regard too. I recommend this tour to everyone.

    Our trip was great, our guide Mahmoud Ismail was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and help us take amazing pictures. I would definitely book this tour again if I was to visit Egypt a 2nd time. The food we had after visiting the pyramids, Sakkara, and Memphis was delicious too. We’ll worth the money.

    We had a really nice guide and a driver to visit the pyramids. They picked us up on time and dropped off close to 16:30. Mina, our guide, was very calm and knowledgeable person. The whole experience went very smoothly and with no push to buy things from any pre arranged vendors.
