Spending your layover time on a pyramids tour from the airport is just a perfect option to kill the transit time. Moreover, the idea of using this wasted time to tour Cairo and explore the famous pyramids of Egypt is amazing.

Pick up from Cairo International Airport, meet, welcome, and assist with airport formalities. Start our Cairo city tour layover to explore Egypt’s famed pyramids, the Great Sphinx, as well as the ancient mummification temple, the funeral temple of the King, and the Queen’s Pyramids, continue to tour the city and see Cairo downtown & Stop by the Nile for photos. Transfer back to Cairo International Airport for final departure.

Important Note:

If you have a long layover, it allows you to visit more places in Cairo; hence, you can customize this tour your own way and only choose what you really want to see and just spend more time in every attraction.

Following this, we will visit the Queens’ Pyramids, which are the tombs of the wives of King Khufu. During this visit, you will have the opportunity to explore the three pyramids from Khufu’s time and even get inside one of them.

Take Great Photos

Afterward, we will stop at the Panorama Photo Spot, where you can admire the three Pyramids of the Kings and take photos and selfies with the pyramids in the background. Next on our itinerary is the Great Sphinx.

This remarkable statue represents King Chephren and was carved from a huge piece of limestone rock that was left by the workers due to its low-quality standard. Subsequently, this rock was transformed into a statue of the king himself, depicting him with a human head on a lion’s body.

The Mummification Temple

Additionally, we will visit the Mummification Temple, which is the site where the king was mummified. Additionally, we will drive through Cairo Downtown, where we will see the area, visit Tahrir Square, and make a stop by the Nile for photos. Finally, we will transfer you back to the airport 2 hours before your flight.
