You visit the open-air museum at Memphis with its colossal statue of Ramesses II, the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, and the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid at Dahshur, the oldest true pyramids in Egypt.
Can I book a day tour if I arrive on a cruise ship?
Yes. Our Cairo and Giza shore excursion from Sokhna Port is made for cruise passengers. Send us your ship’s arrival and departure times and we plan the day around them.
Are the day tours private?

Day tours run for a full day. They normally start in the morning and finish in the late afternoon, and we confirm the exact timings when you book.
Can I combine Giza with Saqqara and Dahshur?
Yes. You can visit them on one long day or split them across two days. Tell us how much time you have and we suggest the best order.
Should I book a day tour in advance?
