Always check the tour inclusions before booking because each Cairo tour has its own route, duration, pickup time, entrance fees, meals, transport details, and airport pickup or drop-off options when required.

View available private Cairo tours here: Cairo Tours, Trips and Excursions.

Choose your Cairo tour based on the sightseeing sites you want to include and the time available. Classic Cairo tours usually include the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum. Other Cairo tours can include Old Cairo, Islamic Cairo, Coptic Cairo, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, or the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

If you want to visit ancient sites outside central Cairo, choose a tour that includes Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur. These sites require more driving time than the main city tours, so the route and duration should be checked before confirmation.

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.

Egyptian Museum

Egyptian Museum

Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square is the oldest, the most historically significant, the most institutionally beloved, and in the accumulated personal memory of more than a century of international heritage travelers the most emotionally resonant of all the national museum institutions of Egypt, a building of extraordinary personal charm and extraordinary scholarly tradition whose pink neoclassical facade on the northern edge of Cairo's central Tahrir Square has welcomed more than 100 million visitors since its inauguration in 1902 as the primary custodian and the primary public display institution for the most extraordinary single national collection of ancient artifacts assembled by any country in the complete history of the world. The Egyptian Museum is the building where the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century, the treasure of the pharaoh Tutankhamun recovered from the sealed Valley of the Kings tomb KV62 by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon's team in 1922, was housed and displayed for more than 90 years in the most celebrated ancient heritage display context available at any museum institution in the world, where the magnificent diorite throne statue of Khafre discovered by Auguste Mariette in the Valley Temple of Khafre in 1860 stands as the supreme masterpiece of ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom royal portraiture, where the extraordinary Royal Mummy Room houses the preserved bodies of the greatest pharaohs of ancient Egypt including Ramesses II, Seti I, Thutmose III, and Hatshepsut in the most personally extraordinary and the most historically consequential ancient human physical heritage encounter available at any museum institution in the world, and where more than 170,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts spanning the complete chronological range of pharaonic civilization from the Predynastic period through the Greco-Roman era are displayed in an atmosphere of accumulated scholarly character and personal museum charm that the most modern and the most technologically sophisticated of contemporary museum institutions cannot replicate.

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.
