Tour Itinerary

First, we will pick you up from Cairo International Airport. Then, we will proceed to the Khufu Great Pyramid. Notably, the Great Pyramid of King Khufu is the only still-standing wonder from the ancient wonders of the world.

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.

Feel free to share your comments with us so we can make your tour tailored to your liking by adding or removing tours from the itinerary to suit your preference and requirements.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
