Cairo & Giza

The Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the greatest collection of antiquities on earth.

About Cairo & Giza

Why go to Cairo & Giza

Cairo is where every Egypt trip begins. On its western edge stand the last of the ancient world's seven wonders — the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx — and beside them the Grand Egyptian Museum, where Tutankhamun's full treasure is now displayed together for the first time.

Beyond Giza there's Saqqara's step pyramid, the ruins of Memphis, and the mosques and markets of medieval Islamic Cairo. We guide all of it privately, at your pace.

When to visit

October to April is most comfortable. Start early at Giza year-round to beat both heat and crowds.
