Tour To Pyramids Of Giza & Sphinx From Safaga Port

Tour Details

Pickup from Safaga Port
As soon as your cruise ship docks, your private, English-speaking Egyptologist guide will be waiting for you at the Safaga Port terminal. This tour is by road with no flight; you will hop into a modern, air-conditioned vehicle for the drive towards Cairo, taking about 5 hours each way (about 10 hours of driving in total).

Exploring the Giza Pyramids
The tour includes about 4 hours of sightseeing in total. Arrive at the Giza Plateau, the site of the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Your guide will provide a captivating historical overview as you stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of King Khufu. You will also see the impressive pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. You will have time to walk around, take photos, and even venture inside one of the pyramids (tickets for entering the pyramids are available on-site at an extra cost).

Panoramic Viewpoint & Camel Ride (Optional)
Next, your driver will take you to the high panoramic viewpoint of the plateau. This is the absolute best spot for photography, allowing you to capture all three magnificent pyramids in a single frame. This is also the perfect location if you wish to experience an optional camel ride across the desert sands.

The Valley Temple & Great Sphinx
Move down the plateau to visit the Valley Temple of King Khafre, where the mummification process of the pharaoh took place. Right next to it sits the legendary Great Sphinx, the massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, standing guard over the ancient necropolis.
