Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids, Egyptian Museum and Bazaar - Giza Pyramids, three royal monuments, and a camel ride

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,931 reviews · from $49Our pick

Review of Cairo’s private 8-hour tour of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and Khan el Khalili, with lunch, camel ride, guide tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Had an excellent day tour of Cairo, made special by our fantastic tour guide Mohammed Aziz. He took us expertly round the Pyramids, the Bazaar and the museum taking his time to explain everything in great detail. And giving us all the time we needed to explore and take photos. His expertise in the Bazaar was particularly impressive as he helped us negotiate great bargains on certain items and avoid the typical tourist traps. Overall, the tour was a great experience which I would highly recommend if you have limited time in Cairo and want to see everything.”
