Tour Details

Enjoy a warm Egyptian welcome with 24/7 airport pickup tailored precisely to your flight schedule.

Your Ramasside tour guide will be waiting inside Cairo Airport holding a sign with the Ramasside logo—there is no need to search, as your guide will spot you immediately.

From the start of your tour, your guide provides attentive, dedicated service, sharing fascinating facts about Cairo’s landmarks as you travel between sites.

The tour begins at the Giza Plateau to explore the Great Pyramid, the sole surviving ancient Wonder of the World. Admire the three pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, stand before the monumental Great Sphinx, and explore the Valley Temple associated with King Khafre, where mummification and purification rites were historically performed.

Next, travel to downtown Cairo to visit the Egyptian Museum, housing more than 250,000 ancient artifacts including the burial treasures of King Tutankhamun, which were preserved for over 3,500 years until their discovery in the 1920s.

At the conclusion of your tour, your driver will deliver you safely back to Cairo International Airport at least two hours prior to your international flight departure.

Cairo offers abundant opportunities for sightseeing, dining, and shopping; however, layover time is limited. If you wish to adapt the stops—such as focusing entirely on the Pyramids or substituting attractions—inform us, and we will customize the itinerary to fit your transit window.
