Overview

This comprehensive 7-to-8-hour private expedition connects the architectural peaks of the ancient world with the most advanced archaeological facility ever built.

You begin on the Giza Plateau, moving between the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Khafre. The air shifts from the dry, sun-drenched heat of the Sahara to the climate-controlled halls of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).

Because this is a private tour with a certified Egyptologist, you bypass the generic tourist routes to access the best photographic viewpoints and the complete Tutankhamun collection before the daily crowds peak.

Itinerary

  1. The journey begins with a morning pickup from your hotel. You’ll spend approximately three hours on the Giza Plateau, walking around the giant base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu and exploring the Valley Temple of Khafre. You’ll ascend to a panoramic viewpoint for a vertical perspective of all three pyramids aligned against the desert horizon.

You’ll spend two hours exploring the highlights of this modern architectural marvel. The tour focuses on the Colossus of Ramesses II in the Great Hall and the exhaustive treasures of ancient Egypt, many on display for the first time. You move through high-tech galleries that contrast 4,500 years of history with 21st-century interactive displays.
