WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Pyramids of Giza
Pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by tour guide to start your tour . The Giza pyramid complex, also called the Giza Necropolis, is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers' village. The site is at the edges of the Western Desert, approximately 9 km (5 mi) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 km (8 mi) southwest of the city center of Cairo.
2. Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
Khufu's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found but the site has not been excavated.[4][5] The valley temple was connected to a causeway which was largely destroyed when the village was constructed.
3. Khafre's Pyramid
Khafre's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860.
4. Great Sphinx
The Sphinx dates from the reign of king Khafre.[7] During the New Kingdom, Amenhotep II dedicated a new temple to Hauron-Haremakhet and this structure was added onto by later rulers.
5. Menkaure Pyramid
Menkaure's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king's pyramid. The valley temple once contained several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added on to the valley temple.
6. The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. Built in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani to a design by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the edifice is one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public. In 2020 the museum is due to be superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.
7. Khan Al-Khalili
Khan el-Khalili (Arabic: خان الخليلي‎) is a famous bazaar and souq (or souk) in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. The bazaar district is one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike. It is also home to many Egyptian artisans and workshops involved in the production of traditional crafts and souvenirs. Tour Finishes with drop off at Customer Hotel in Cairo or Giza
8. Gizeh Plateau

It forms the northernmost part of the 16,000 ha Pyramid Fields in the Western Desert edge of the Nile Valley that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Memphis and its Necropolis.

Make sure if you go on a tour you get the guide Sayed Mahmoud and driver Heny. Sayed was a wonderful guide; always making sure we were having the best time and happily tailoring the day to meet our needs. He also helped us haggle for better prices on the beautiful scarves we bought, and even gifted us with delicious sugar cane juice and egyptian sweets. Heny was a great driver- even with crowded roads he always found a way through and kept the car nice and cool. I highly recommend booking with Emo Tours and asking to see if Sayed and Heny can take you around.

Great your with tour guide Sameh, who was always kind and helpful in dealing with all the locals on our way to the pyramids and thorough the Bazaar, and it was amazing how much he could explain in the Egyptian Museum about all the artifacts, I really wouldn't have wanted to miss out on having him as a guide!

The tour guide, Ehab was punctual and gave us a detailed itinerary for the day. We went straight to the pyramids and he knew all the perfect areas to take pictures, he is very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to visit the Sphinx and went to the perfume palace which was a lot of fun and a few other stores. We went to the Egypt Museum where Ehab informed us on each piece of artifact and answered all of our questions. He was patience and accommodating to our needs. Thank you Emo tours for a wonderful first day!
