Things to do in Cairo Governorate

We didi this on our last night in Cairo and it did not disappoint. We definitely had a great time cruising the Nile, enjoyed authentic egyptian buffet (they have Ostich on the menu!) as well as the performances. the staffs were every attentive and friendly. It’s a must do experience for tourists.

The entire dinner experience was perfect. After we placed the order, the tour organizer proactively contacted us on WhatsApp to confirm the details. From the pickup in Giza, the drive to the restaurant in Cairo, and the return trip back to Giza, everything was perfectly arranged and seamless. The cruise buffet dinner was excellent, and the show was wonderful as well. We were very happy with the whole experience!

We had Ahmed as our guide, and he was incredibly client-oriented, caring, and proactive throughout the entire trip. He was always attentive, ready to help, and very thoughtful — even treating us along the way, which made the experience feel especially warm and personal. Despite the cold winter nights in the desert, everything felt very comfortable. Ahmed took great care of us and provided as many blankets as we needed, even camel wool blankets, which made a big difference and allowed us to truly relax. The trip itself was very well organized and thoughtfully planned. Every location and each transfer between them felt smooth and intentional, which made the experience both comfortable and dynamic. It was engaging, fun, and truly memorable — an unforgettable experience overall.

I went to many historical places in Egypt, but this desert camp was the best memory of this trip! The driver and tour guide, Mohamed, were very hospitable and entertained us. Along the way, we were able to experience various aspects of the desert. Also, at the final destination, the campsite, we were able to see the sunset and the starry sky. I am very satisfied with such a wonderful experience for this price. They prepared everything for us, including lunch, barbecue for dinner, and breakfast, which were all delicious and memorable moments. For your reference, in our case, we had lunch 4 hours after departure, and at that time, the driver handed over to the tour guide, and the vehicle was changed to a 4WD. I think it will be a long drive, so it might be easier to take a break by taking a nap with eye masks or air pillows. Also, we participated in the tour at the end of January, but it gets cold at night, so it's very convenient to have clothes that you can layer or heat packs. We participated in the private tour with 2 people, but they carried our suitcases, so it was very easy to move around! Thank you for the wonderful time!

its was a awsome experience, the pyramids are absolutely magicals truly, was in ave looking at them... was picked up on time from hotel in a comfortable car to the pyramids ...our guide omar was a very nice person, very polite & aware about the history of Giza.

Truly an amazing experience! Our tour guide was not only great at work but he is truly passionate and proud of his country’s rich history and culture. I was truly amazed by the scenes and all the new historical information that we learned from today!

This Cairo 2 Days Luxury Private Tour was a highlight of our Egypt trip—perfect mix of history, culture, and authentic experiences. Day 1: Step Pyramid at Saqqara, ancient Memphis with its colossal statues, delicious lunch at قرية وادي الملوك (fresh Aish Baladi baked by the ladies was amazing!), then the iconic Giza Pyramids and Sphinx. Day 2: Extended time at the classic Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square (incredible artifacts!), followed by Old Cairo’s Hanging Church, Greek Orthodox Church, and Ben Ezra Synagogue. Tasty lunch, then the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque in the Citadel. Our guide Emad was fantastic—passionate, knowledgeable, and full of enthusiasm. He explained everything vividly, protected us from harassment, and handled any haggling so we could fully enjoy the sites. Driver Yaseer navigated Cairo’s chaotic traffic safely and professionally. Seamless private transfers, great food, personalized pace. Highly recommend and request Emad and Yaseer!

I was hesitant about hiring a guide for the pyramids, but I'm glad I did. I was more satisfied because I could listen to the explanation in Japanese. The pyramid entrance fee was 700 EGP, the entrance fee for the inside of the Great Pyramid of Giza was 1500 EGP, camel ride was 1000 EGP, the museum was 550 EGP, and the drink fee at lunchtime was separate. It was fun because they fulfilled everything I wanted to do. Lunch was a buffet. Rola was very knowledgeable, answered many questions, and her explanations were easy to understand.
