Overview

Private VIP Giza tour: VIP lounge and fast-track entry, air-conditioned golf cart, inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Book your VIP pyramids tour today.

Our VIP Pyramids and Sphinx Tour is a fully private day on the Giza plateau, built around the three things that usually spoil the visit: the ticket queue, the heat and the walking. You are collected from your hotel, welcomed into our private VIP lounge with cold drinks and a snacks bar, and taken in through a dedicated VIP entrance rather than the public line.

Inside the complex you travel by air-conditioned golf cart instead of on foot or by shuttle bus, so the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, the panoramic viewpoint, the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx all fit comfortably into one unhurried day. Your ticket to go inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu is bought in advance and included in the price.

A private certified Egyptologist stays with your group throughout, guiding in almost any language you need at no extra cost, and lunch is included at your choice of Khufu's, Rooftop 7000 or the 9 Pyramids View Lounge — all three look directly onto the pyramids. There are no shopping stops and nothing is sold to you on the plateau.

Great Sphinx of Giza

Your guide and private air-conditioned vehicle collect you from your hotel in Cairo or Giza at a time that suits you; a luxury car is available on request. You are welcomed into our private VIP lounge for cold soft drinks, the snacks bar and your welcome giveaways, then taken straight through the VIP entrance — your tickets are already bought, so there is no queue. Your private air-conditioned golf cart is waiting inside. You begin at the Great Pyramid of Khufu and go in: the Ascending Passage, the Grand Gallery and the King’s Chamber. Guides are not permitted inside during public hours, so your Egyptologist briefs you thoroughly at the entrance and is waiting when you come out. From there the cart takes you on to the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, then out to the panoramic viewpoint where all three pyramids line up, and down to the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx. Lunch is included at whichever of Khufu’s, Rooftop 7000 or the 9 Pyramids View Lounge you prefer — tell us when you book and we reserve the table. You are then driven back to your hotel. No shopping stops.
