Tour Itinerary

1 Pickup

Your WOW Egypt Tours representative and driver will pick you up from your hotel, Cairo International Airport, Giza hotel, or your location in Cairo or Giza. You will be transferred by private modern air-conditioned vehicle with your private Egyptologist guide to begin your Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum GEM Tour.

2 Giza Pyramids

Start your tour with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, one of the most important ancient Egyptian sites and one of the main highlights of any Cairo tour. The Giza Pyramids Complex was built during the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around 2600 BC to 2500 BC, and includes the three main pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.

Your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the Old Kingdom, the role of the Giza Plateau, pyramid construction, and the importance of the pyramids as royal tombs. You will have time to see the pyramids from the main viewpoints and learn about their layout and historical context.

The visit includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 2580 BC to 2560 BC and originally about 146.6 meters / 481 feet high, the Pyramid of Khafre, built around 2570 BC and originally about 143.5 meters / 471 feet high, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, built around 2510 BC and originally about 65 meters / 213 feet high, from outside.

Entry inside any pyramid can be added at additional charge if available on the day of your visit.

3 Great Sphinx of Giza

Continue to the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the most recognized monuments in Egypt. The Great Sphinx is generally dated to the Old Kingdom, around 2500 BC, and has the body of a lion and the head of a king.

The Great Sphinx measures about 73 meters / 240 feet long and about 20 meters / 66 feet high. During your visit, your guide will explain the history of the Sphinx, its connection with King Khafre of the 4th Dynasty, and its role in the ancient Egyptian royal and religious landscape of Giza.

4 Valley Temple of Khafre

Continue to the Valley Temple of Khafre, part of the pyramid complex of King Khafre from the 4th Dynasty, around the 26th century BC. Valley temples were connected with royal funerary rituals, purification, mummification traditions, and the processional route leading toward the pyramid complex.

The Valley Temple of Khafre is usually dated to around 2570 BC and was built with large limestone and granite blocks. It is located near the Great Sphinx and formed part of the wider Khafre funerary complex on the Giza Plateau.

The Valley Temple visit gives more context about the full funerary complex at Giza and helps explain how the pyramids, temples, causeways, and royal burial areas were connected in ancient Egypt.

5 Lunch Time

Lunch is served at local restaurant.

6 Grand Egyptian Museum GEM

After lunch, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum GEM, located near the Giza Pyramids. The museum is one of the largest museums dedicated to ancient Egyptian civilization and is planned as a main center for displaying important collections, statues, royal objects, and archaeological material from different periods of ancient Egyptian history.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is located about 2 km / 1.2 miles from the Giza Pyramids and was developed on a site of about 480,000 square meters. During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the main museum sections, the historical value of the displayed objects, and the connection between the museum collections and the ancient Egyptian sites you visited at Giza.

Giza Pyramids Complex

Pyramids Of Giza

Giza Pyramids Complex
The Giza Pyramids Complex is the most famous, the most visited, the most photographed, the most written about, and the most universally recognized ancient monument ensemble in the entire history of human civilization, a plateau of limestone bedrock on the western edge of Cairo overlooking the Nile Valley from its desert escarpment where the three Great Pyramids of the 4th Dynasty pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure rise from the desert floor in the most immediately recognizable and the most personally overwhelming ancient architectural composition available at any heritage site in the world, accompanied by the enigmatic Great Sphinx, the Valley Temples, the causeways, the subsidiary pyramids, the ancient workers' village, and the extraordinary recently discovered remains of a lost harbor and logistics city whose progressive archaeological revelation continues to transform the scholarly understanding of how these extraordinary buildings were planned, organized, and constructed. The Giza Pyramids Complex is the sole surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the ancient monument that has outlasted every other building of the classical world's list of supreme architectural achievements, standing unchanged in its essential physical character for more than four and a half thousand years through the complete rise and fall of every major civilization of the ancient and medieval world, through the pharaonic, Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Ottoman, and modern Egyptian periods of Egyptian history, through every political upheaval, every religious transformation, every cultural revolution, and every geological event that has affected the Nile Valley and its civilization in the more than four and a half millennia since the last stone was placed on the apex of the Great Pyramid of Khufu.

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

GEM

Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
The Grand Egyptian Museum, universally known by its initials as the GEM and officially designated as the largest archaeological museum in the entire world, is a monument of such extraordinary ambition, such unprecedented cultural significance, and such completely extraordinary heritage achievement that its opening represents the single most consequential event in the history of Egyptian museum culture since the founding of the original Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square in 1902, a new institution purpose-built on the edge of the Giza desert plateau approximately 2 kilometers north of the Giza Pyramids Complex to house the most extraordinary collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts assembled at any single museum in the world in the most completely spectacular, the most technologically sophisticated, and the most visually overwhelming museum environment that the contemporary international museum design tradition has ever devoted to the ancient Egyptian heritage. The Grand Egyptian Museum is the building that was specifically designed and purpose-built to achieve one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the complete history of ancient Egyptian archaeological display: the reunification for the first time since the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 of the complete treasure of the boy pharaoh, all more than 5,000 individual objects of gold, lapis lazuli, alabaster, ivory, ebony, and semi-precious stone that Howard Carter and his team recovered from the four sealed chambers of the Valley of the Kings tomb over the decade-long clearance that followed its extraordinary discovery, displayed together in a single dedicated gallery space of sufficient scale and sufficient quality to do justice to the most complete and the most personally overwhelming ancient royal treasure ever recovered from any archaeological site in the entire history of human civilization.

Frequent Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most asked questions.

This FAQ covers core Egypt travel facts: visa on arrival and e-visa options, safety and health basics, average trip costs and cash/card tips, best months by region, what to wear and pack, local customs and public holidays, weather by season, official language and useful phrases, mobile data/Wi-Fi and SIM cards, transport (flights, trains, taxis, ride-hailing), tipping norms, and guidance for solo travelers and families. Use it to plan quickly and avoid surprises.

Getting into Egypt is genuinely easy. Most nationalities receive a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada airports for just USD 30, paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. If you prefer to sort it before you fly, Egypt's official e-Visa takes 3 to 5 business days and costs the same amount. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. When you book with WOW Egypt Tours, your dedicated advisor confirms your exact visa route before anything else, so there is no guesswork on your end.

Absolutely. WOW Egypt Tours specialises in shore excursions from Egypt's main cruise ports including Alexandria for Cairo and the Pyramids, Port Said for Cairo, Safaga for Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and Sokhna. Your guide meets you directly at the dock, the itinerary is timed precisely to get you back well before all-aboard, and everything runs in a private vehicle with no waiting around. Just share your ship name, port of call, and docking time when you get in touch and we handle the rest.

Start with a message through our contact page, WhatsApp, or email at booking@WOWEgyptTours.com. From that first message you will deal with one dedicated advisor who designs the itinerary, answers every question, and manages your trip from start to finish. A deposit secures your dates and the balance can be paid before arrival or on arrival in Egypt, depending on the package. Your advisor confirms the available payment methods for your specific booking. There are no surprise charges along the way.

 

This is genuinely what we do best. Through our tailor-made experience, your advisor starts from scratch with your travel dates, the destinations you care about, the pace you prefer, your accommodation style, and your budget, then builds an itinerary around all of it. Want to add a sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor, a private yacht on the Nile, a marriage proposal at Abu Simbel, a family trip mapped around your children's interests, or a wheelchair-accessible route through the Pyramids? All of it is possible and all of it has been done before.

 

Think light, breathable, and modest. Loose cotton or linen clothing works brilliantly in the heat and dries fast. Inside temples, mosques, and religious sites, covered shoulders and knees are required, so a lightweight scarf or wrap folds into any bag and solves the problem instantly. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes matter more than you might expect as ancient surfaces are uneven. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are non-negotiable in summer. A small reusable water bottle is a good idea everywhere. For desert or Sinai trips, pack a warm layer as nights drop sharply once the sun goes down. Find destination-specific tips in our Wiki and Guides section.
