No trip to Egypt is complete without standing before the Pyramids of Giza. Our private Pyramids of Giza tours take you across the plateau with your own Egyptologist guide and private car – from the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx to the best panoramic viewpoint – with options to add the Grand Egyptian Museum, Saqqara, a camel ride or the Sound and Light Show.
Built around 2560 BC, it originally rose about 146 metres and was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for some 3,800 years. Entry tickets are sold separately on site.
Khufu’s son Khafre built the second pyramid, which still keeps part of its original limestone casing near the top; Menkaure’s smaller pyramid completes the trio.
Carved from the plateau’s bedrock and generally dated to Khafre’s reign, the Sphinx is about 73 metres long – the largest monolithic statue of the ancient world.
Enjoy the classic view of all nine pyramids from the desert viewpoint and add a camel or horse ride, or a quad bike in the dunes.
Climb the Grand Gallery to the King’s Chamber with an extra ticket. Passages are narrow and warm – not for the claustrophobic.
In the evening the pyramids and the Sphinx come alive with light and narration – a magical end to your day in Giza.
