What To Expect

Pick-up Service from your hotel

Pick-up Service from your hotel

  • During the day tour, your guide will meet you in the hotel lobby.

Tour to Giza Pyramids

Tour to Giza Pyramids

  • 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.

Discover the Great Pyramid

Discover the Great Pyramid

  • Situated on the Giza Plateau, the Great Pyramid is a must-see landmark of ancient Egypt. The Great Pyramid, the tomb of King Khufu (c.2589–2566 BC), with its original height of 146.5 meters, was the tallest structure in the world for 3,800 years. It remains the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and took an estimated 10 to 20 years to build. To this day, it is not entirely certain how it was built.
  • 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.

Enjoy a panoramic view of the Pyramids

  • Stop for a panoramic view of the pyramids.

Stand in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza

Stand in front of the Amazing Sphinx of Giza

  • Colossal statues are one of the hallmarks of ancient Egyptian civilization, and the Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous. It was carved directly out of the bedrock during the 4th Dynasty (c.2613–2494 BC), which also makes it the oldest. Ancient Egyptian sphinxes represented the king with the body of a lion, in a clear demonstration of his power.

Discover the Valley Temple of Khafre

Discover the Valley Temple of Khafre

  • The mortuary temple of Khafre at the foot of his pyramid and the valley temple at the end of the causeway are larger than any of those of older pyramids, and also among the best preserved of the Old Kingdom. Another development in the reign of Khafre is the complexity of their layout, with the elements constituting his mortuary temple becoming the new standard that its later Old Kingdom counterparts would follow. A unique feature of Khafre’s complex is the inclusion of a colossal statue beside his valley temple the Great Sphinx. The valley temple is made of massive limestone blocks encased in granite, floors made of alabaster, and its wide hall features monolithic granite pillars.

Lunch

Lunch

  • Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant.

Tour to the Egyptian Museum

Tour to the Egyptian Museum

  • 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.

Additional Programs and Tours that you can Book

While you are visiting Cairo, you will have the chance to do more activities for an extra charge.

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.

    It is a great trip for people with disabilities, too

    Posted by Jennifer Wood on 24th Jul 2024

    What a fantastic journey! The driver skillfully navigated through the chaotic traffic in Cairo, ensuring our safety. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke English fluently, providing valuable insights throughout the trip. Both the driver and the guide demonstrated exceptional patience and understanding towards my physically disabled son. The guide thoughtfully selected the best locations to visit, ensuring we could fully appreciate the sights without feeling overwhelmed or facing physical challenges. I initially embarked on this trip for my son's sake, as he had always dreamt of seeing the pyramids. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find the experience fascinating and enjoyable.

    An exciting day in Cairo

    Posted by Tom O'Neill on 22nd Jul 2024

    Yesterday, my friends and I embarked on an unforgettable day trip to Cairo and the pyramids. We arranged the trip effortlessly via WhatsApp, and the responses were prompt and detailed. The pick-up was right on time, and everything was well coordinated. The two drivers took turns and were courteous, making us feel secure throughout the journey. The air-conditioned minibus was equipped with complimentary Coca-Cola and water, adding to our comfort. Upon arrival in Cairo, we were warmly welcomed by our English-speaking guide, who proved to be incredibly personable and amiable. During our visit to the Egyptian Museum, our guide shared captivating insights and engaged with each of us individually, tailoring the experience to our interests and preferences. This flexibility allowed us to tailor the duration of our visit according to our preferences. We enjoyed a leisurely boat trip along the Nile following our museum visit before proceeding to the pyramids. Our guide efficiently handled the ticketing while we took a brief break and then led us to the pyramids, regaling us with fascinating facts about their construction. He also skillfully took numerous photos of us, ensuring we captured the best angles and moments. We then visited a stunning panoramic viewpoint, where we could ride camels and admire the awe-inspiring Sphinx. A delightful lunch at a local restaurant offered an array of delectable Egyptian dishes, and our guide once again accommodated our preferences on whether to visit the pyramids first or dine. Returning to the minibus, we commenced our journey home, reflecting on the incredible day we had experienced. Despite the long hours and early start, the trip with Landious Travel was undeniably worthwhile. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional travel experience. A special thank you to our remarkable guide for making the day memorable!

    Great private trip for two people

    Posted by Christina Milian on 22nd Jul 2024

    During our recent trip to Makadi Bay, my family and I embarked on a private excursion to the pyramids of Giza and Cairo. Our driver was not only incredibly punctual but also remarkably friendly. He ensured a smooth and safe journey, driving with great care. Throughout the entire trip, we felt genuinely well taken care of. In Cairo and Giza, we were accompanied by an exceptional Egyptologist. He provided us with an in-depth understanding of the fascinating history of the pharaohs. He expertly guided us through the bustling tourist areas, devoting his undivided attention to our group. Our experience in Cairo included a memorable lunch that surpassed any meal we had enjoyed during our entire vacation. The Landious team exceeded our expectations, fulfilling their promise without hidden costs. Punctuality and reliability were evident at every step of the journey. I offer my heartfelt thanks to our Egyptologist and driver for creating the most memorable day of our vacation. It was an experience we will cherish for years to come.

    I vividly recall our extraordinary private tour from Hurghada to Cairo. The experience far surpassed our expectations and left us in awe! Everything was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, from when we were picked up at 2 a.m. to our return after 9 p.m. The journey was smooth and secure, thanks to our skilled drivers, who expertly navigated us through the bustling city. Our guide was truly exceptional! His extensive knowledge and passion for Egyptian history enriched our visits to the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids. The Nile cruise allowed us to soak in the breathtaking Cairo skyline leisurely, which was an absolute highlight of the day. What stood out the most was our guide's attentiveness to our needs. He went above and beyond to ensure our day was enjoyable and unforgettable. This ranks as one of the finest private tours we've ever experienced.

    Great experience, super organised

    Posted by Nicola McLean on 19th Jul 2024

    Our tour with Landious Travel was exceptional. The drivers were friendly and attentive. We had the entire minibus to ourselves, and it was spotlessly clean and felt almost brand new. The journey was long, as expected, but the comfort of the private vehicle made it more than bearable. Our tour guide was first-class, joining us just before the pyramids. The tours were incredibly informative, and all of our needs were taken into account. There were no unexpected extra costs, and all promises were kept. I highly recommend Landious Travel and would not hesitate to book with them again. The included lunch was authentic and plentiful, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire experience. Many thanks to Landious Travel for a fantastic and fair-priced experience. We will return and would love to explore Luxor with them next time.

    Two incredible adventures during our recent travels

    Posted by Daniela Witten on 19th Jul 2024

    We had two incredible adventures during our recent travels. The first took us to Cairo and the awe-inspiring pyramids. Our tour guide was excellent, and we loved the private experience, allowing us to set our own pace without any stress or rush. The second trip was a thrilling quad bike excursion into the desert, culminating in a visit to a Bedouin village. Once again, we were accompanied by a fantastic tour guide. If we have the opportunity to visit again, we will book with them once more!

    Outstanding service, meticulously planned trips

    Posted by Jeniffer Thompson on 18th Jul 2024

    During our Egypt holiday this year, we embarked on an incredible adventure in Cairo, organised by Landious Travel. We had previously utilised their services for airport transfers and a Luxor trip, and they had exceeded our expectations. Once again, Landious Travel did not disappoint. Our punctual, courteous, and skilled drivers ensured our journeys were smooth and safe. Upon our arrival in Cairo, we were warmly greeted by our knowledgeable guide, who impressed us with his excellent English, extensive education, and expert insights. Our first stop was the Egyptian Museum, where our guide led us on a mesmerising tour, providing thorough explanations and enriching our experience with his deep knowledge. The museum visit alone was nothing short of awe-inspiring. We even had the opportunity for a special self-guided tour, further enhancing the uniqueness of our visit. Following this, we were treated to a delightful dining experience at a local restaurant, where the cuisine was outstanding and the service impeccable. We were also able to witness the fascinating process of breadmaking at the restaurant's bakery. After a brief city tour, we made our way to the pyramids, a truly incomparable experience. Our guide enlightened us with detailed historical context and captivating explanations, making the visit even more profound. As a first-time observer of these magnificent structures, I found the impact indescribable. We were granted ample time to absorb our surroundings and deepen our impressions. Our journey back to our hotel in Hurghada was seamless, rounding off a perfectly executed trip by Landious Travel. Their exceptional organisation and service have left a lasting impression on us. We wholeheartedly recommend Landious Travel for its outstanding service, meticulously planned trips, and unparalleled experiences. We eagerly look forward to booking with them again for our future vacations.

    Pyramids tour - Great experience with Landious Travel

    Posted by Marc Jackson on 15th Jul 2024

    I just wanted to share my great experience with Landious Travel with you. This was our second trip with them, and just like last year in Luxor, we had a fantastic time in Cairo. Everything was very well organised. Our driver was punctual and took a city tour before our guide joined us. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us around the Egyptian Museum, the pyramids, and the Sphinx. We ended the day with a delicious lunch at an Egyptian restaurant in Cairo. The driver then safely brought us back to our hotel in Hurghada. I highly recommend Landious Travel and look forward to booking another trip with them on our next vacation in Egypt.
