Frequently Asked Questions

This day excursion from Hurghada (near Sahl Hasheesh) to Cairo covers the legendary Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and Saqqara with its Step Pyramid of Djoser — humanity's oldest stone pyramid complex. Round-trip transport, entry tickets, and a dedicated private licensed guide are all part of the package.

Saqqara served as the royal necropolis of ancient Memphis and houses over a dozen pyramids, chief among them Djoser's Step Pyramid (2650 BC) — the oldest stone building on earth. While Giza stuns with sheer scale, Saqqara invites deeper exploration through its richly decorated mastaba tombs and an active archaeological zone still yielding discoveries.

This itinerary focuses on the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara to give you ample time at each site. The Egyptian Museum is generally not scheduled as including it would leave the day feeling rushed. We can tailor the programme — either by removing Saqqara or extending the tour — should you wish to add it.

Absolutely — camel rides on the Giza Plateau are offered by local handlers and can be arranged on the spot for a negotiable fee. This activity is optional and not covered in the tour price. Your guide will help you agree a fair rate. Horse rides are equally available as an alternative.

    The best tour I've ever been on! The Pyramids of Giza are majestic, and the Sphinx is truly a sight to behold. Our guide was fantastic, providing insights and stories that brought history to life. Sakkara was equally impressive. Highly recommend this tour!
