This tour covers Hawara Pyramid, Meidum Pyramid, and the Pyramid of El Lahun with a private Egyptologist guide, private air-conditioned transfers, entrance fees, lunch, bottled water, and pickup and drop-off from your hotel, Cairo International Airport, Giza hotel, or your location in Cairo or Giza.

The Hawara Pyramid is located about 100 km / 62 miles southwest of Cairo, the Capital of Egypt, with an approximate driving time of 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, depending on road conditions and pickup location. Meidum Pyramid is located about 95 km / 59 miles south of Cairo, with an approximate driving time of 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. The Pyramid of El Lahun is located about 110 km / 68 miles southwest of Cairo, with an approximate driving time of 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes. The driving distances between the three sites depend on the final route used on the day of your tour.

This Hawara, Meidum and El Lahun Pyramids Tour from Cairo is one of the important Cairo Tours for travelers who want to visit less-crowded pyramid sites and understand the development of pyramid architecture beyond Giza, Sakkara, and Dahshur.

It is suitable for visitors searching for Cairo Trips, Cairo Excursions, Cairo Day Tours, Cairo Day Trips, Hawara Pyramid Tour, Meidum Pyramid Tour, El Lahun Pyramid Tour, Middle Kingdom Pyramids Tour, Faiyum Pyramid Tour, and private pyramid tours from Cairo.

During the tour, you will visit Hawara Pyramid, built for King Amenemhat III of the 12th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom, around the 19th century BC. The site is located near the Faiyum area and was once connected with the famous ancient Egyptian Labyrinth described by classical writers.

You will also visit Meidum Pyramid, connected with King Sneferu of the early 4th Dynasty, around the 26th century BC. The pyramid began as a stepped structure and was later changed toward a smooth-sided pyramid form. In one completed phase, it would have reached about 85 meters / 279 feet high with a base length of about 120.75 meters / 396 feet.

The tour also includes the Pyramid of El Lahun, built for King Senusret II of the 12th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom, around the 19th century BC. The pyramid was built with a mudbrick core over a limestone base and originally stood about 48.65 meters / 160 feet high with a base of about 106 meters / 348 feet.

These sites are connected with the wider Oases Attractions, Faiyum Oasis, and Middle Egypt historical route. They are useful for travelers who want to understand Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom pyramid development, royal burial sites, pyramid construction changes, and the importance of the Faiyum region in ancient Egyptian history.

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 Hawara, Meidum and El Lahun Pyramids Tour from Cairo.

2 Transfer from Cairo to Hawara Pyramid

Start the road journey from Cairo toward Hawara Pyramid by private air-conditioned vehicle. Hawara Pyramid is located about 100 km / 62 miles southwest of Cairo, and the driving time is usually around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, depending on road conditions, pickup location, and traffic.

During the transfer, you will travel toward the Faiyum route, one of the important historical areas connected with Middle Kingdom pyramid sites. Your guide will explain the general program and the historical connection between the pyramid fields of the Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom before arrival at the first site.

3 Hawara Pyramid

Start your sightseeing with Hawara Pyramid, built for King Amenemhat III of the 12th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom, around the 19th century BC. Amenemhat III was one of the most important rulers of the Middle Kingdom and was strongly connected with building activity in the Faiyum region.

The pyramid was built with a mudbrick core and was once part of a larger funerary complex. Hawara Pyramid originally stood about 58 meters / 190 feet high and had a base of about 105 meters / 344 feet. The site was also connected with the ancient Egyptian Labyrinth, a large complex mentioned by classical writers and traditionally associated with the area around Hawara.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of Amenemhat III, the role of Hawara in Middle Kingdom royal burial traditions, and the connection between the site and the Faiyum region.

4 Meidum Pyramid

Continue to Meidum Pyramid, one of the important pyramid sites connected with the development of ancient Egyptian pyramid construction. The pyramid is usually connected with King Sneferu of the early 4th Dynasty, around the 26th century BC.

Meidum Pyramid began as a stepped structure and was later changed toward a smooth-sided pyramid form. In one completed phase, it would have reached about 85 meters / 279 feet high with a base length of about 120.75 meters / 396 feet. Today, the remaining core gives the pyramid its distinctive tower-like shape.

During your visit, your guide will explain the construction phases of Meidum Pyramid, its connection with Sneferu, and its importance in the transition from step pyramids to the true pyramid form later seen at Dahshur and Giza.

5 Lunch Time

Lunch is served at local restaurant.

6 El Lahun Pyramid

After lunch, continue to the El Lahun Pyramid, built for King Senusret II of the 12th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom, around the 19th century BC. The pyramid is located near the entrance to the Faiyum region and reflects the importance of this area during Middle Kingdom royal projects.

The Pyramid of El Lahun was built with a mudbrick core over a limestone base and originally stood about 48.65 meters / 160 feet high with a base of about 106 meters / 348 feet. The site is also connected with nearby ancient settlement remains related to workers and administration during the Middle Kingdom.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of Senusret II, the construction method of the pyramid, the importance of El Lahun in Middle Kingdom history, and the role of the Faiyum area in royal planning and irrigation projects during the 12th Dynasty.

7 Return Transfer to Cairo

After completing your visits to Hawara Pyramid, Meidum Pyramid, and the Pyramid of El Lahun, return to Cairo by private air-conditioned vehicle. The return timing depends on road conditions, traffic, and the final route used on the day of your tour.

8 Drop-off

After completing your Hawara, Meidum and El Lahun Pyramids Tour from Cairo, 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.

Cairo City

Capital Of Egypt

Cairo City
Cairo, the Egyptian capital whose Arabic name Al-Qahira, meaning the Victorious or the Overwhelming, was bestowed upon it by the Fatimid astrologers who identified the planet Mars as the dominant celestial body rising at the exact moment of the city's auspicious founding on the 6th of Ramadan in 969 CE, is the most extraordinary, the most historically layered, the most personally overwhelming, and the most completely inexhaustible single heritage destination available at any capital city in the complete African and Middle Eastern world, a city of such completely extraordinary historical depth, such completely unprecedented heritage variety, and such completely personal urban vitality that every serious traveler who engages with it discovers not simply a city to visit but an entire civilizational universe to explore, a place where the monuments of the most ancient of the world's great civilizations, the pharaonic civilization of the ancient Nile Valley whose greatest and most personally extraordinary surviving monuments at the Giza Pyramids Complex rise above the city's western desert edge with a quality of personal ancestral grandeur that no other surviving ancient monument on earth can equal, exist within the same metropolitan horizon as the supreme masterpieces of medieval Islamic architecture in the historic Islamic Cairo district whose extraordinary density of Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman mosques, mausoleums, palaces, and markets gives it the most completely extraordinary medieval Islamic urban heritage of any accessible heritage city in the complete African and Middle Eastern world, and as the oldest continuously active Christian community in the complete African heritage record at the Old Cairo Coptic district whose ancient churches, ancient synagogue, and ancient mosque within the same walking-distance heritage enclosure give Cairo its most completely personal and its most completely affecting expression of the extraordinary historical coexistence of the three primary Abrahamic religious traditions in the ancient Nile Valley civilization. Cairo's population of more than 20 million inhabitants in the complete metropolitan area makes it simultaneously one of the largest cities in Africa, one of the most historically significant urban centers in the complete world, and the most personally extraordinary single destination available to any heritage traveler whose specific combination of ancient, medieval, and living contemporary urban heritage gives the Egyptian capital a quality of total heritage experience whose specific depth, variety, and personal human vitality is simply without parallel at any other accessible destination in the complete world.

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.
