Start early at Giza

Arrive at the Giza Plateau when it opens to beat the crowds and the heat. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Sphinx can all be covered in a focused two to three hours.

Add the panoramic viewpoint

Ask your driver for the panoramic desert viewpoint for the classic photo of all three pyramids together, then enjoy an optional camel ride.

Continue to Saqqara

Drive 45 minutes south to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world\u2019s oldest monumental stone building. The surrounding site is huge and far quieter than Giza.

Finish at a viewpoint or museum

With extra time, add the Red and Bent Pyramids of Dahshur, or return to Cairo for the Grand Egyptian Museum. A private car and guide make the logistics effortless.
