Visit the Valley Temple, where priests mummified King Chephren, the owner of the second pyramid. This is also where you can get a close-up view of the Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and King Chephren’s head, standing by the vast funeral complex.
- Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, but the site remains unexcavated.
- Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex features a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple revealed several statues of Khafre, some of which were found in a well in the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.
- Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple. The mortuary temple also contained several statues of Menkaure.
- Great Sphinx - The Sphinx dates back to the reign of King Khafre. During the New Kingdom, Amenhotep II dedicated a new temple to Hauron-Haremakhet, which was later expanded by subsequent rulers.

- Pyramid of Unas - The Pyramid of Unas, built in the 24th century BC for Pharaoh Unas, is the smallest Old Kingdom pyramid. It is notable for the Pyramid Texts, spells for the king’s afterlife inscribed on the walls of its subterranean chambers. This tradition of funerary texts began with Unas’s pyramid and continued through the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
- Pyramid of Teti - Located in Saqqara, the Pyramid of Teti is the final resting place of Pharaoh Teti. This impressive structure showcases the architectural prowess of the Old Kingdom and attracts visitors worldwide. Explore its chambers and corridors to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt.

Wonderful experience!!! - It was a sensational tour, our guide Omair was the best! He explained in detail and had a lot of patience throughout the tour, as we were going with my father who is 82 years old and he is in perfect condition, only sometimes he walks a little slowly and our guide had the empathy and even gave him clubs to cheer him up, very helpful and made a wonderful tour!!! 10/10

A well worth Tour! - I had an amazing day at Giza Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis with Emo Tours.
It was a small group of 6 people.
The minivan had a working air condition.
Both driver and the Guide, Sophy, were very patient and allowed us plenty of time especially at Giza. To explore and have pictures taken.
The Guide, Sophy, went above and beyond his duties and took so many individual great pictures of us. Thank you Sophy!
They supplied us with a cold x 2 bottles of water - at the start and after our buffet lunch at Valley of Kings restaurant.
This is one of the very few satisfying tours I have had in my travels.
The pick up and drop off at the downtown hotel is an icing on the cake.
Thank you to Emos Travel and Tours.

Excellent excursions between pyramids and history. - Fantastic excursion in Italian with private driver and Gabri our guide.
The tour took us all day, lunch was great and our guide super prepared, kind and friendly.
Really recommended but there is a lot to walk and under the sun you struggle, bring water and a cap.

For the price it is super good if it is private. - The guide was very polite and attentive. Although I would have liked to visit more places, I understand that the itinerary and the price are limited. A tip for future travelers is to pay the difference on the site to get the full Saqqara ticket, as the place is huge and worth exploring thoroughly.
His Spanish was good, you could understand it clearly. As part of the tour, we were taken to a perfume shop, but at no time were we forced to buy anything.
One detail I appreciate a lot is that at the end of the tour, when my sandals broke, the guide kindly helped me change money and buy a new pair. He was very attentive to my needs, which made a big difference. I recommend it for those looking for a friendly and helpful guide, although also in Egypt as they say no favors is free, but I had no local coins as I had arrived the night before.

This tour around the... - This tour around the pyramids was truly unforgettable! Our tour guide Osama was fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate, and very engaging. We got plenty of time to walk around and take photos. Osama was very patient during all our photo shoot and even participated and directed us in some of our poses. I highly recommend this tour.

Well-organised tour with a professional guide - It was a well-organised tour in a comfortable van. The guide was professional, telling interesting things about not only the pyramids but also about history and culture. The timings were good, we had enough time to visit all the pyramids (ca. 3 hours at Giza were well-needed). Refreshment supply was enough, and the traditional food was delicious. It was a real cultural immersion: local, non-touristy restaurant with traditional food, but felt safe regarding hygiene (it was a tried-out place by the guide before). Highly recommended! :)
