Cairo Giza Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum Tour

Visit the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple, then the Grand Egyptian Museum and its complete Tutankhamun collection, on a private 8-hour Cairo tour

Overview

This tour pairs Egypt's most recognised ancient monuments with its newest great museum. The day begins on the Giza plateau, where you stand before the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx with your private guide, and visit the Valley Temple with its granite pillars — a structure scholars have long believed was built for the mummification of King Khafre.

From there you continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum. The Hanging Obelisk and the colossal statue of Ramses II mark the entrance, the Grand Staircase climbs past monumental sculpture, and the galleries trace Egyptian civilisation across thousands of years. The museum holds more than 100,000 artefacts, around 50,000 of them on display.

Among them is the complete Tutankhamun collection — 5,398 pieces, shown together in one place for the first time since the tomb was discovered in 1922. It makes for an exceptional journey through more than 3,000 years of Egyptian history.

The tour includes private transportation with your guide, a meal, drinks, and hotel pickup and drop-off throughout the day.
