Hurghada to Cairo Pyramids Day Tour

Amazing, everything was perfect with Mohamad Amin

Super guide Gamil… also took photos for us…. well organized… good info …bus was always there….unfortunately no stop at the bazaar… visit to perfumery (we didn't feel comfortable at all) and papyrus we liked less, was also not described anywhere… at the pyramids and in the museum we felt safe…. outside a different world… all in all a nice tour….

Just an incredible day. Dina is a great guide, passionate about her work, and who totally immerses us in the excursion. She gives us a lot of information and helps us make the most of it. I highly recommend. Thank you for this day.

Super great excursion!!!! with guide Ayman. Very competent guide, knows everything perfectly (history, etc.). Can be absolutely recommended, and we would do it again immediately.

When we booked our trip, this day was intended to be the highlight. We couldn’t have imagined what was in store. From the very start, our guide Ibrahim Hamed, was enthusiastic, informative and patient with us. You could tell he was proud to represent his country, and share the wealth of information he had. We had a quick historical tour of Cairo, then straight on to the pyramids at Giza. He made sure we knew what we should prepare for, and knew all the best places to look. Once we got to the pyramids themselves, he suggested we take a camel ride up to the location where the famous vista of the pyramids themselves. It was a first time experience for both of us, and the camel-handler Sayid was fantastic. I said I would experience more than photograph, but still, this gentleman encouraged us to take some fun pictures together, which we rarely get the chance to do. After that, we got to get right up to the Great Pyramid, and even the experience of touching one of the huge limestones blew our minds. He showed us where they found some of the buried ships, and even got to go inside the tomb of a royal doctor underground. After that was the Great Sphinx, with all the things one might miss if they were not with such an educated guide! (Later we found out he is an actual Egyptologist, definitely in the right hands!). Once we left the Giza complex, we called into a Bedouin perfumery, where we couldn’t help but get something to take home with us. We had a few samples, and from the little we had, we could smell the fresh and beautiful scents for the rest of the day. Next, we visited an authentic papyrus gallery, where we were shown how papyrus was made and how amazing that plant really is. In both shops, we were treated to a very welcome coffee, much needed after all that walking. Before we went to the Grand Egyptian Museum (it’s optional but please don’t turn down this opportunity as I promise you will regret not seeing it) we stopped at a local buffet for lunch before finishing our day at the museum. Inside, we saw some of the most famous Egyptian relics, including the funerary mask of Tutankhamun, and trust me, photos do not do it justice. I’m not even going to describe the sheer size and wonder that place contains, just go and see it yourself. Ibrahim showed us around for 1 hour, then left us to explore on our own for another hour. Don’t forget to see the ships encased there. If we were on our own throughout this journey, we would have found it all a bit overwhelming, but Ibrahim was the coolest guide you could ever ask for. Our driver for the day was also brilliant. We have made memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives, this is not one to be missed. Thank you!
