Private Day Tour
Overview & Highlights
No visit to Egypt is complete without seeing the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum (GEM) with EgyptianTrips— and this private day tour brings you to both in a single, expertly guided day from your Cairo hotel. This is the most popular day tour in Egypt, and with good reason: the combination of the world’s last surviving ancient wonder with the planet’s greatest collection of pharaonic art is simply unmissable.
Your morning begins at the vast Giza Pyramid, where you’ll stand face-to-face with the Great Pyramid of Khufu — the oldest and last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built around 2560 BC from over 2 million limestone blocks, the Great Pyramid remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for nearly 4,000 years.
Nearby stand the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Then comes the most famous face in Egypt — the Great Sphinx, a 73-metre limestone guardian carved from a single mass of rock, watching over the Giza Plateau since 2500 BC.
After lunch, visit the magnificent Egyptian Museum (GEM) in central Cairo, home to the world’s greatest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts — over 120,000 objects including Tutankhamun’s golden death mask, his innermost coffin of solid gold, and thousands of statues, jewels, and everyday objects from five millennia of Egyptian history.

Trip of a lifetime
From the pyramids at Giza to the temples of Luxor, every day was perfectly organised. Our guide was knowledgeable, warm and made sure we never felt rushed. Highly recommend Egyptian Trips.
Seamless from start to finish
Booking was easy, the driver was always on time, and the hotels were excellent. The Nile cruise was the highlight of our holiday. We will be back for the desert tour next year.
Knowledgeable guides, no hidden costs
Everything was exactly as described. Our Egyptologist brought the history to life and the whole team was responsive on WhatsApp throughout the trip. Five stars well deserved.
Better than we imagined
A truly authentic experience. The food, the people and the sites all exceeded our expectations. Special thanks to the team for handling every detail so we could just enjoy Egypt.
Felt safe and looked after
As two women travelling alone we felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. The itinerary balanced sightseeing with rest perfectly. Cannot recommend them enough.
Outstanding value
Great communication before the trip and flawless execution once we arrived. Abu Simbel at sunrise was unforgettable. Thank you Egyptian Trips for a wonderful week.
