Egypt Experiences: our most recommended tours & activities

Hand-picked private experiences with licensed Egyptologist guides and tickets handled for you.

VIP Pyramids & Sphinx Tour — Inside Khufu & Golf Cart

VIP Pyramids & Sphinx Tour — Inside Khufu & Golf Cart

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.See more
