We had an excellent day and highly recommend this tour. Shady was a very knowledgeable and funny guide - he explained all the facts about the pyramid and it was very interesting to learn more about ancient Egyptian history. We flew in late and he was also flexible with the start time and adjusted the itinerary for us.

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.

The female tour guide and driver picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel entrance, which was very convenient. The tour explanations were also very focused, allowing us to better understand the true history. The value for the price was very high. During the tour, we visited a papyrus factory and a perfume shop, but there was no forced consumption. Travelers could choose whether or not to buy. After the tour, they took us back to the hotel, which made for a very convenient trip.

We had an amazing day trip with our guide, Omar. He was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He brought us to the best viewpoints of the Pyramids, guided us through camel riding, and took us to museums where he explained everything so clearly and in great detail. We learned so much thanks to him. Omar also showed us some local Egyptian specialties and took wonderful photos for us — some of our favorite memories are from the pictures he captured! Throughout the day, he was very attentive to our needs and made sure we were always comfortable. The whole experience felt smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. We enjoyed the trip so much that we immediately recommended it to our family — and they booked a trip right away after hearing how great it was! Omar truly made our last day in Egypt unforgettable. Highly recommended!

All facilities were well organised, the pickup was on time. The guide bought us water and recommended we skip Memphis for other pyramids nearby included in the ticket. This proved to be a good idea given we were short on time and we got to see the Halographics. However, the guide provided limited information and was more interesting in knowing about us rather than telling us about the history of the pyramids, we were given basic information whereas other tours were given detailed explanations. Irrespective of this, I thoroughly suggest you take up this tour and do everything mentioned in the itinerary, it’s worth the money!

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid, also known as Khufu's Horizon, is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one to remain largely intact. Built around 2600 BC, it served as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu. Initially standing at 146.6 meters, it was the tallest human-made structure for over 3,800 years. Visitors can explore its intricate internal chambers, including the King's Chamber, Queen's Chamber, and the Grand Gallery.

Pyramid of Khafre

Slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre appears larger due to its elevated position and steeper angle. It retains some of its original casing stones at the apex, offering a glimpse into its former glory.

Pyramid of Menkaure

The smallest of the three main pyramids, the Pyramid of Menkaure is known for its intricate mortuary temple and the three subsidiary pyramids, often referred to as the queens' pyramids.

Culture and History

The Giza Pyramids are a symbol of Egypt's rich cultural and historical heritage. Built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, these structures reflect the ancient Egyptians' architectural ingenuity and their beliefs in the afterlife. The pyramids were constructed using millions of limestone and granite blocks, some weighing up to 80 tonnes, transported from distant quarries. The site also includes inscriptions and graffiti left by the workers, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who built these monumental structures.

Local Cuisine

While visiting the Giza Pyramids, don't miss the opportunity to savor traditional Egyptian cuisine. Popular dishes include 'koshari,' a hearty mix of rice, lentils, and pasta; 'ful medames,' a flavorful fava bean stew; and 'ta'ameya,' Egyptian falafel made from fava beans. Enjoy these dishes at local eateries and experience the unique flavors of Egypt.

Construction Techniques

The construction of the pyramids remains a topic of fascination and debate. Recent discoveries suggest a combination of skilled craftsmen and seasonal laborers worked together, using innovative techniques to transport and assemble the massive stone blocks.

Solar and Religious Symbolism

The pyramids' shape is believed to symbolize the rays of the sun, serving as a ramp for the pharaohs to ascend to the heavens. They are also connected to the sacred ben-ben stone, representing the primeval mound of creation.

Modern Challenges

Despite their ancient origins, the Giza Pyramids face modern challenges such as urban encroachment, pollution, and illegal activities. Efforts by UNESCO and other organizations aim to preserve these invaluable cultural heritage sites.
