Private Full-Day Cairo: Pyramids, Sphinx & Egyptian Museum

Stand before the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World on a fully private day journey from Alexandria. Your expert Egyptologist guide unlocks the secrets of Giza and Tutankhamun's treasures — the ultimate Egypt bucket-list day.

What to expect

The drive from Alexandria Port takes roughly 3 hours each way, so you depart early and arrive at the Giza Plateau when the morning light is golden and crowds are thin. Your Egyptologist leads you inside one of the Great Pyramids, down to the Valley Temple of Khafre, and face-to-face with the Great Sphinx. After a sit-down lunch at a local restaurant, the afternoon is spent at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where the guide brings the Tutankhamun treasures and royal mummies to life with scholarly depth.
