Wonderful Pyramids and Sphinx Tour from Cairo Airport

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.

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.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

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!
