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, Memphis and Sakkara Tour.
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.
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.
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.
Lunch is served at local restaurant.
After lunch, continue to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Memphis was founded around 3100 BC near the beginning of the dynastic period and became one of the most important political, religious, and administrative centers in ancient Egypt.
During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of Memphis, its connection with King Menes or Narmer, and its role as a capital city for early Egyptian kings. The site is located about 20 km / 12 miles south of central Cairo and includes important statues, monuments, and remains connected with different periods of ancient Egyptian history.
You will see the main open-air museum area, including major statues and archaeological remains that show the importance of Memphis as an ancient capital close to the pyramid fields of Sakkara, Dahshur, and Giza. Memphis was also connected with the god Ptah and remained an important religious center for thousands of years.
Continue to Sakkara, one of the most important ancient burial sites in Egypt. Sakkara served as the necropolis of Memphis and includes tombs, pyramids, mastabas, and monuments from different periods of Egyptian history.
The main highlight is the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, built during the 3rd Dynasty around 2630 BC. It was designed by Imhotep and is considered one of the earliest major stone structures in ancient Egypt. The Step Pyramid rises in 6 stepped layers and originally reached about 62 meters / 203 feet high.
During your visit, your guide will explain the development from mastaba tombs to pyramid construction, the role of Sakkara in the history of ancient Egyptian architecture, and the importance of the Step Pyramid complex in understanding the beginning of pyramid building.
Sakkara gives clear context about early royal burial traditions, Old Kingdom architecture, and the connection between Memphis, royal tombs, and the development of pyramid complexes before the later pyramids at Dahshur and Giza.
After completing your Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Tour, you will be transferred back by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel, Cairo International Airport, Giza hotel, or your location in Cairo or Giza.

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.
