Tour Details

Enjoy a warm welcome to Egypt with 24-hour pickup service arranged according to your flight arrival time.

Your Ramasside guide will be waiting for you at Cairo Airport, holding a sign with the Ramasside name. You won't need to look for them — they will find you and be there to welcome you.

From the moment your tour begins, your guide will give you their full attention. Once you are in the car, they will tell you about everything you will see along the way and other aspects of the tour that may interest you.

Begin your tour by visiting the Great Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Admire and enjoy a panoramic view of the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Visit the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and several exceptional viewpoints for taking photos.

The tour also includes plenty of photo opportunities and a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramid of Chephren. This temple was used to purify the king's mummy before burial and subsequently for the mummification process.

Continue to the Egyptian Museum, which houses 250,000 artifacts and the treasures of Tutankhamun, including gold and jewelry that remained sealed inside his tomb for more than 3,500 years before it was discovered in 1920.

After the tour, you will be transferred to Cairo Airport at least 2 hours before your international flight.

Cairo has so much to see, experience, eat, and buy, but we understand that you have limited time as a transit traveler. If you have time and would like to add more sites, skip some stops, or visit only the pyramids, just let us know and we will arrange the tour accordingly.
