- Pyramids of Giza - Whether staying in Cairo or Giza, the guide will meet guests at the hotel and escort them to the pyramids. Visitors can see the three renowned pyramids and touch them while the guide shares fascinating details. There will be free time for photos and relaxation. Inside the Great Pyramid, there are three known chambers. The lowest chamber is carved into the bedrock and remains unfinished. The Queen’s Chamber and King’s Chamber are located higher within the pyramid. The main Giza complex includes buildings such as two mortuary temples honoring Khufu, three smaller pyramids for Khufu’s wives, a smaller satellite pyramid, a raised causeway linking the temples, and small mastaba tombs for nobles surrounding the pyramid. Guests will then be taken to a panoramic viewpoint of all the pyramids and can embark on a camel ride adventure around the area.
- Great Sphinx - Discover the Great Sphinx of Giza.
- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Later, guests will be transferred to Saqqara to explore with an Egyptologist tour guide. Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the renowned Step Pyramid of Djoser, also known as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, along with several mastabas. Djoser’s Step Pyramid was constructed during the Third Dynasty. Sixteen other Egyptian kings built pyramids at Sakkara, now in varying states of preservation. High officials added private funeral monuments to this necropolis throughout the pharaonic period. It remained a significant site for non-royal burials and cult ceremonies for over 3,000 years. Visitors will enjoy the vibrant scenes in the tomb of Kagemni and the Pyramid Texts inside the Pyramid of Teti.
Afterward, guests will be transferred back to their hotel.

Best guided tour we have ever had - Our tour with Amir was amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable in Egyptian facts, and was so fun to learn from. He took the time to answer any questions we had and asked us what we would like to see when heading out to the shopping areas. I highly recommend the papyrus demonstration, you are not pressured to buy anything but the artwork is incredible and we left with a few pieces.
I cannot recall our driver's name but he was also amazing- we felt extremely safe the entire time and he was always right there when we left an area ready to take us to the next.
If you are looking for the perfect guide for your Pyramids and Cairo tour along with having all of your photography needs met on tour, look no further, Amir knows all the tricks and will get all the pictures you crave.

Outstanding guide and a fun, worry-free day - Ahmed was the ideal guide. It's obvious he's plugged into the pyramid 'scene' and knows everyone in both Giza and Saqqara. Everything was taken care of -- transport, tickets, lunch, camels (camels!), tipping advice, chats with security/police -- leaving us able to sit back and just soak it all in. Having studied Egyptology in depth, he's knowledgeable about Egyptian history and cheerfully gave us a proper sit-down lecture and answered any questions we had as we explored the various tombs. My friends had a one-year-old baby but Ahmed was again cheerful and attentive, and our kind driver was extra-careful to avoid bumps and swerves on the road. Ahmed also made sure we didn't miss any of the best photo opps - including several he took with his own phone and sent us later. Optional visit to a 'Papyrus Institute' where you get an information demonstration and are of course expected to buy...but that's par for the course. All in all a terrific day.

Good tour - It’s a you get what you pay for, it was a superb value and very efficient , guide was good and for most would be even excellent. I needed a ride to saq. = So for me anything else was bonus, I asked to skip lunch but it was offered many time with many options to me very respectfully but I wanted to take rest instead after the pyramid. I also skipped camel ride but did a photo with tip, tourist camel price is 300 egp so if you do is a steal already so tip very well !! Guide knows a lot, I would say for 90% -95% of visitors it’s much more than enough information and a true Egyptology visitor would be enjoying conversing. Guide knows best photo stops, also keeps harassment at bay, very respectful. Driver was 10/10 , waiting for me 15 min before start time with uniformed tshirt, safe and fast , no detours no shops no nonsense. Would use again. Booked via trip advisor / Viator.
Also tip driver and guide, the driver minimized walking so I was able to see all sites within 4 hours - example drove me to panoramic and then to Sphinx and circled car so I would not have to walk back.

Manage to cover all the sites but the trip seems to be hurry - If u just wanted to check-in on all those highlighted places,it will be sufficient. Our guide is able to provide the min information we need to know and helped on taking some nice photos. But the trip seems to be in hurry.
