This private Giza pyramids half day tour with lunch covers the three great pyramids and the Great Sphinx in about 4 hours. A guide and driver pick you up at your hotel, show you the plateau and finish with lunch at the 9 Pyramids Lounge before taking you back.

What you will see

The pyramids of Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mykerinos) were built as royal tombs during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty, in the Old Kingdom. Your guide explains how and why they were built as you move around the plateau. You then visit the Great Sphinx, the lion-bodied figure with a human head that sits near Khafre’s pyramid. Lunch is served at the 9 Pyramids Lounge on the plateau, with views of the monuments.

  • Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three
  • Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure
  • The Great Sphinx
  • Lunch at the 9 Pyramids Lounge

Good to know

The price includes entry to the general area of the plateau, a guide, bottled water, lunch and transfers in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Drinks with lunch are not included.

Going inside a pyramid, a camel ride or quad biking are extras you can add when you book, at an additional cost. The plateau has little shade, so bring a hat, plenty of sunscreen and comfortable shoes, especially from May to September.
