02 Overview

A first look

By 7 am the limestone on the Giza Plateau still feels cool underfoot, and the first shafts of sun pick out the angles of Khufu and the Sphinx silhouette against the city. In Islamic Cairo the call to prayer threads through narrow streets and bazaars, giving a sense of scale and rhythm as you move from mosques to Coptic churches.

As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange private transfers, hotel accommodation and the guided days with our Egyptologists. We do not run group bus tours; each excursion is private and led by a licensed Egyptologist who meets you at the hotel and handles the practical details.

What lingers

  • 01 We provide private arrival transfer from Cairo International Airport; your driver meets you in arrivals.
  • 02 Early-morning Giza Plateau visit: Khufu Pyramid exterior, Sphinx, and Panorama Point before peak crowds and midday heat.
  • 03 Full-day Saqqara and Memphis excursion: Djoser Step Pyramid, Memphis statue, and practical explanations by our Egyptologist.
  • 04 Two-hour visit to the Egyptian Museum with our Egyptologist; unlike rushed day tours, we allow time for Tutankhamun display.
  • 05 Evening Khan el-Khalili stroll and Coptic Cairo visit (Hanging Church); local guide explains crafts and neighborhood history.
  • 06 Khufu pyramid interior is optional and charged separately; we do not include interior access by default.
