Day 1 Your unforgettable journey begins in the pre-dawn hours, where you will be picked up by your private tour guide and driver in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. The early start is key to capturing the magical moment of sunrise over the Giza Plateau. You’ll feel the excitement build as you leave the city’s bustling streets behind and approach the timeless desert.

As this is a private tour, the itinerary is flexible, and your guide will be happy to accommodate any special requests to enhance your experience.
Arrival at Giza Plateau & Camel Ride Briefing
Upon arrival at the Giza Plateau, you’ll be greeted by the sight of the pyramids silhouetted against the night sky. Before the sun begins its rise, you’ll meet your camel handler, who will assist you in mounting your trusty camel for the ride of a lifetime.

Day 2 After the camel ride, you will return to the plateau entrance. Here, you’ll take a brief pause to enjoy a light Egyptian breakfast (included) with traditional snacks such as falafel, fresh bread, and Egyptian tea. This peaceful moment will give you time to relax and refresh before beginning the exploration of the pyramids.

Exploration of the Great Pyramids of Giza
Next, it’s time to delve into the heart of Egypt’s most iconic structures: the Great Pyramids of Giza. Your expert Egyptologist guide will take you on an in-depth tour of the three main pyramids—Khufu (Cheops), Khafre, and Menkaure.

Day 3 After exploring the pyramids, your next stop is the Valley Temple, located near the Pyramid of Khafre. This temple was a key part of the ancient Egyptians' burial process, where mummification rituals were performed. Made from massive blocks of limestone and granite, the Valley Temple is an architectural marvel in its own right.

Your guide will walk you through the temple, explaining the religious significance of the space and how it was used for the preparation of the pharaoh's body before burial. The Valley Temple is also an excellent spot to reflect on the spiritual beliefs of the ancient Egyptians and their intricate funeral practices.

Day 4 Your final stop is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt—the Great Sphinx. This limestone statue, with the body of a lion and the head of a human, is thought to represent the pharaoh Khafre, serving as a guardian for the entire Giza Plateau. The sheer size and mystery of the Sphinx are enough to leave you in awe, and your guide will help unravel some of the mysteries surrounding its construction and purpose.

As you stand before this magnificent monument, you’ll have a chance to take photos up close and appreciate its place in the landscape of ancient Egypt.
