What To Expect

  • During the day tour, your guide will meet you in the hotel lobby. The tour will begin with a visit to the magnificent Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. These ancient structures are considered some of the oldest architectural marvels among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, is particularly notable for having stood the test of time. It is believed to have been constructed as the final resting place of the revered Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu around 2560 BC, taking an impressive 14 to 20 years to complete. Situated on the Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramid is a must-see landmark of ancient Egypt. Additionally, the equally remarkable pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure can be found nearby. Adjacent to these structures are the more minor but significant queens' pyramids, which served as the tombs for Khufu's wives and sisters.
  • Stop for a panoramic view of the pyramids.
  • The Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo was constructed in 1901 by Khedive Abbas Helmi II. The façade of the museum proudly displays the first two initials of his name, A.H., serving as a reminder of its rich history. With the contributions of renowned Egyptologists such as Petri, Marriete, and Maspero, this museum has become one of the largest in the world, housing a vast collection of over 120,000 artefacts. Situated overlooking the iconic square, named initially "Ismaileya" Square, it was later renamed "Al Tahrir Square," meaning Liberation Square. This square holds great significance as it was the site of the Egyptian Revolution on January 25, 2011, and its subsequent wave on June 30, 2013.

Grand Egyptian Museum

This mega museum in Giza will showcase Tutankhamun’s burial treasures for the first time, all at the same place, including 2,000 artefacts that have never been made public before. A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum is a highlight of your Egypt tour.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is situated on 50 hectares (120 acres) of land approximately two kilometres from the Giza pyramids and is part of a new master plan for the plateau.

The building of the museum has a unique beauty. Although it will not rival the beauty of the Giza pyramids it looks like foldings in the desert sand. The Facade of the museum is geometrical in shape with alabaster stone. The museum is designed to line up with the Great Pyramid of Khufu and Menkaure.

The museum building is shaped like a chamfered triangle and while the front of the building has a translucent stone wall, it is the atrium inside that you will marvel at when you arrive.

The museum will house about 100,000 artefacts spanning a history of 7000 years of Egyptian history. With the latest technology in its halls.

One of the artefacts that has been recently transported to the museum is the thirty-foot-high granite statue of King Ramses II. The statue is more than three thousand years old and weighs about eighty-three tons. The statue was placed in a cage that was constructed specifically for the transport, and it was surrounded by a mounted military guard and a marching band for the journey. Once it arrived at the new Grand Egyptian Museum, it was placed inside the atrium where it will greet you every time you walk through the front doors.

While you are visiting this museum, you will be able to wander through exhibition galleries and watch a 3D movie within the cinema. It may be the ancillary buildings, restaurants, and shops that pique your interest the most after you have completed your exploration of history.

Virtual reality has also been incorporated into this new museum space, so every visitor will be able to incorporate the latest in technology during their visit. There is nothing better than feeling like you are being transported back in time as you are experiencing seeing these items for the first time.

What you will see, is the Hanging Obelisk Square in front of the museum, the atrium, the Children’s Museum, the Immersive Hall, the outdoor areas, and retail and food and beverage outlets, which include leading Egyptian brands.

Entry to the atrium will afford access to a selection of remarkable artefacts, including the colossus of Rameses II, the 10 Statues of Senusret, the Sakkara Cannon, the victory column of Meneptah, in addition to the Ptolemaic King and Queen statues.

All other museum interior spaces, including access to the main galleries and the two Tutankhamun galleries, will remain closed in preparation for the full site opening.

Pyramids Camel Ride

Experience the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only remaining ancient world wonder, at its most beautiful on this sunrise camel tour. With a private guide, climb atop your camel and enjoy a leisurely ride as the sun shines above the ancient structures. Get ready to capture the best photos.

Motorboat Nile Trip

Enjoy the motorboat tour in the longest Nile in the world while enjoying the sights of Cairo from the water along with a cosy atmosphere. Enjoy refreshing breezes with a ride on the traditional Egyptian motorboat and the bewitching skyline of Cairo, while listening to some famous Egyptian songs. Soak up stellar views of Cairo’s towers, bridges and riverfront. Snap photos and make memories. It's a family-friendly cruise ideal for all ages.

    We didn't have to wait in long lines

    Posted by William Wolfe on 24th Aug 2024

    We had a fantastic day tour from Makadi Bay to Cairo! Everything went smoothly from the start - we were promptly picked up from our hotel in a very comfortable car. Our driver and tour guide, Michael, were amiable and made us feel welcome. Since we opted for a private tour for just the two of us, we could plan our day exactly how we wanted. We were particularly impressed that we could still make a booking despite it being Friday. Throughout the tour, we received much information that left us in awe. We also appreciated that we didn't have to wait in long lines at the attractions. The lunch we had, with a stunning view of the pyramids, was indescribable. And the Nile cruise was an unforgettable experience! Everything about the tour was perfect. We're so grateful for the exceptional experience and look forward to booking our next tour with you. You're truly outstanding! Thank you for making this experience possible for us!

    Day trip from Hurghada to Cairo

    Posted by Lauren Boebert on 23rd Aug 2024

    While searching for an alternative to bus and flight transfers, I stumbled upon Landious Travel online. I was initially apprehensive about travelling alone with my five-year-old daughter, but the numerous glowing reviews convinced me to book a day trip with them. After initiating the request, I promptly received detailed information via WhatsApp, further strengthening my confidence in the company. The trip commenced the following day with our friendly driver, who ensured our satisfaction throughout the journey. Upon reaching Cairo, our English-speaking guide joined us. His remarkable expertise allowed us to visit the Egyptian museum right at its opening, where we had the exclusive opportunity to admire the mask of King Tut in solitude. The guide efficiently navigated us to other attractions, providing insightful explanations at each location. We felt incredibly well taken care of throughout the day. We would undoubtedly opt for Landious Travel for future trips, especially after a negative experience with the hotel tour operator due to our decision not to book their offer. We look forward to choosing Landious Travel again in the future.

    An enriching and enjoyable excursion

    Posted by Jamie Oliver on 23rd Aug 2024

    Our journey from Hurghada to Giza Cairo to see the pyramids was exceptionally well-organized. We were greeted at our hotel by friendly drivers who thoughtfully took a break after 2.5 hours of driving as required. After 3 hours on the road, we arrived at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide welcomed us. Despite our frequent tours, we rarely encounter such a competent guide. His excellent English and ability to answer all our questions left a lasting impression on us. After the museum visit, we enjoyed a satisfying lunch before heading to the pyramids. Our guide continued to amaze us with his detailed explanations and willingness to address all our inquiries. Throughout the day, we felt completely safe under the guidance of our tour guide and drivers. We departed for Hurghada around 4:30 p.m., and in my opinion, the entire experience was truly worthwhile. The value for the price paid was exceptional, and we were relieved that there were no unwanted detours or delays—simply an enriching and enjoyable excursion.

    It was a perfect tour

    Posted by Eleanor Jones on 22nd Aug 2024

    Perfect tour. We booked a private tour from Marsa Alam to Cairo via WhatsApp. The driver picked us up at around 1 a.m., and the communication in English was smooth. He was very friendly and courteous and drove quickly but conscientiously. At around 8 a.m., we picked up our Egyptologist in Cairo, who accompanied us all day until the return journey. His English was almost perfect. We wanted to buy spices at the Khan El Khalili bazaar as a special request. This was immediately taken to heart, and we were also told the history of the bazaar district as we strolled through the alleys. On to the museum... We were there for almost 3 hours, which could have been another three days. Our guide showed us the most important monuments and explained everything from the 1st to the 30th dynasty. He has extensive knowledge. It was breathtaking. Afterwards, we had a delicious lunch and continued to the pyramids and the Sphinx. Here again, detailed information about the pyramids, etc. We were driven to the best viewing points. We started the return journey at around 5 p.m. We didn't have to queue once all day because Markus knows all the staff. So, entry is almost included. All in all, this tour exceeded our expectations. It was a very reliable organizer with a friendly staff. It was a perfect tour that made the day perfect. Thank you so much.

    The excursion surpassed our expectations

    Posted by Aaron Russell on 22nd Aug 2024

    Last summer, my wife and I enjoyed an exceptional journey with Landious Travel to Cairo. We were so impressed with the entire experience that we eagerly booked the same excursion with Landious for 2024. From the outset, communication with the Landious team via Whatsapp was seamless, and they graciously accommodated all our special requests, including arranging a delightful boat trip on the Nile. The day of the excursion began with a 3:00 a.m. pickup from our hotel, and our courteous driver ensured a smooth and comfortable journey to our first destination. The tour guide in Cairo spoke impeccable English with barely a hint of accent, and his exceptional friendliness, politeness, and profound expertise truly enhanced our exploration of the city. Thanks to his skilful guidance, we had the extraordinary opportunity to marvel at the gold mask of Tutankhamun in splendid isolation at the Egyptian museum – an awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience. Following a delightful trip down the Nile and a delectable lunch at a local eatery, we proceeded to the pyramids and the Sphinx, where our knowledgeable guide thoughtfully arranged for us to partake in a camel ride through the Sahara. This unique vantage point offered breathtaking views of the pyramids, allowing us to capture some truly magnificent photos. Gazing deeply into the enigmatic eyes of the Sphinx only added to the enchantment of the day. Overall, the excursion surpassed our expectations, leaving us with cherished memories. Without hesitation, we've already made plans to embark on a trip to Luxor next year – and naturally, we'll entrust our journey to Landious once again. We are deeply grateful to the entire Landious team for a remarkable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Landious Travel with the utmost confidence.

    An extra layer of comfort and pleasure

    Posted by Phil Darling on 22nd Aug 2024

    Our journey with Landious Travel from Hurghada to Cairo was exceptional. We opted for the private tour designed for two, complete with a luxurious limousine. Promptly at 3:00 a.m., our driver arrived, whisking us away in a spotless, incredibly comfortable car. After a 2.5-hour drive, we made a pit stop before reaching Cairo in under 2 hours. Our Egyptologist greeted us outside the museum. His warm demeanour and impeccable English made the experience even more delightful. His comprehensive explanations and willingness to address our inquiries made the tour memorable. Following our museum visit, we embarked on an adventure to the stunning pyramids, which were just as well-organized and enchanting. We wholeheartedly relished every moment of the tour. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience, especially the private car tour, which adds a layer of comfort and pleasure.

    We would cherish it forever

    Posted by Donna Langley on 21st Aug 2024

    I discovered Landious Travel through their Facebook page and website. Before our trip to Cairo, I contacted Landious Travel to make all the necessary arrangements. Initially, we had planned to fly to Cairo after having visited Luxor the previous year. However, after reading positive reviews about the bus journey to Cairo and its cost-effectiveness, we decided to take the bus instead. Our group consisted of 8 people, and we opted for a private trip to Cairo. The journey was incredibly comfortable, with the driver picking us up from the hotel at 3 a.m. The new, spacious bus let us sleep comfortably during the early hours. We briefly stopped for refreshments before continuing our seamless journey to Cairo. Upon our arrival, our tour guide joined us as we navigated through the bustling city of Cairo. We proceeded to the expansive museum, where our guide explained the significant exhibits. Following the museum visit, we enjoyed a satisfying buffet lunch before catching our first glimpse of the majestic pyramids from the window. Subsequently, our guide expertly organized our entrance to the iconic Cheops pyramid, leaving us amazed by its grandeur. We were given ample time to explore, photograph, and absorb the location's historical significance. The trip was wonderfully paced, allowing for both relaxation and exciting discoveries. After visiting the Sphinx, we commenced our return journey, which included a leisurely break, before reaching our hotel at 9 p.m. Exhausted yet elated, our group unanimously agreed that the experience was unforgettable and that we would cherish it forever. Additionally, we felt that the knowledge gained from this trip would be invaluable for our children's education.

    It was a memorable and enjoyable trip

    Posted by Laura Dobson on 21st Aug 2024

    We decided to go for a private tour in Cairo with our two small children to avoid being squeezed into a bus with a large group. Our experience began with a punctual and friendly driver who picked us up in a comfortable car, providing us with a faster and more flexible way to travel. We were able to make impromptu stops for photos without any issues. Upon reaching Cairo, we were joined by an exceptional tour guide who was knowledgeable and incredibly personable. We could explore all the major attractions at our own pace, which was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the experience. It was a memorable and enjoyable trip, and I wholeheartedly recommend Landious Travel for this exceptional tour experience.

The driver was friendly and skilled, making the journey enjoyable. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the tour was fantastic, and I would jump at the chance to do it all over again. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo.
