Tour Overview

In one carefully paced day, you’ll travel the full sweep of Egyptian civilisation — from the sun-baked plateau of Giza, where the Great Pyramid still holds the imagination of the world, to the cool, low-lit halls of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat, where the Royal Mummies lie in silent dignity. Your local guide draws the thread between them, so the stones of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure begin to speak, the Sphinx feels less like a monument and more like a witness, and the artefacts inside the museum trace a living story from the Stone Age through the pharaohs to modern Egypt. Comfortable transport, unhurried timing, real conversation. Reserve your day with Daily Pyramids Tours and step straight into the story.

  • Stand at the foot of the Giza Pyramids and the ever-watchful Sphinx
  • Walk the calm, modern halls of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization

Itinerary

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your accommodation, your exciting day begins as you meet your private Egyptologist guide. Together, you’ll set off in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to explore some of Egypt’s most iconic treasures.

Your first stop is the majestic Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the most famous monuments in Egypt. Standing before the three main pyramids—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—you’ll be amazed by their scale and the mysteries they hold. Nearby, you’ll also discover smaller pyramids built for the queens and royal family members, adding depth to the grandeur of the site.

A short walk brings you to the enigmatic Great Sphinx of Giza, the largest sculpture in Egypt. Carved from the limestone of the plateau itself, this lion-bodied figure with a human head wearing a royal headdress has stood watch for thousands of years, weathering the sands of time and losing some of its original features, yet retaining its majestic presence.

Next, you’ll visit the Valley Temple of Khafra, a sacred site where the pharaoh’s mummy was prepared for burial through elaborate rituals. Walking through its ancient stone halls, you’ll gain insight into the fascinating mummification process and royal funerary traditions.

After this enriching morning, it’s time to pause and recharge with a delicious lunch at a nearby restaurant. You’ll enjoy traditional Egyptian dishes, including savory meats, rice, and fresh salads. 

The afternoon takes you to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), the first museum in the Arab world dedicated entirely to showcasing the rich tapestry of Egypt’s ancient civilization. Here, you’ll journey through Egypt’s history from prehistoric times to the modern era, discovering artifacts, royal treasures, and cultural highlights. The museum serves as a dynamic cultural and educational hub, engaging visitors, researchers, and history enthusiasts alike.

With your day of discovery complete, your guide will escort you back to your accommodation, where you can relax and reflect on the unforgettable sights and stories you’ve experienced.

Travel Policy Guide of Daily Pyramids Tours

Pricing Policy

Every rate published by Daily Pyramids Tours is stated in US Dollars (USD) unless we note otherwise. We are happy to accept settlement in other leading currencies, including Euros (EUR) and British Pounds (GBP), converted at the official exchange rate quoted on the day your payment reaches us.

Because our pricing tracks live market conditions, seasonal demand and supplier availability, quoted figures can shift without notice. The moment your deposit or full payment clears, however, your price is fixed and protected for the trip you booked.

What our packages typically cover:

  • Hand-picked accommodation exactly as described in your itinerary
  • Private or seat-in-coach transport, depending on the package
  • Government-licensed Egyptologist guides
  • Daily breakfast plus any additional meals listed
  • Admission tickets to every site named in the programme
  • Internal flights or ground transfers where the itinerary requires them
  • Round-the-clock local support, 24/7

Always cross-check your personal confirmation and itinerary for the definitive list of what is and isn’t included.

Peak Season Supplement:

Bookings that overlap Christmas, New Year or Easter carry a 25% surcharge across all Nile Cruises and tour packages, reflecting the exceptionally high demand at those times.

Booking Confirmation Policy

Payment terms with Daily Pyramids Tours depend on the type of service you’re booking:

  • Day Tours & Excursions: Full payment (100%) is required at booking to confirm your reservation.
  • Multi-Day Tour Packages & Nile Cruises: A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking. The balance must be paid at least 15 days before arrival.
  • Christmas, New Year & Easter Bookings: Due to high seasonal demand, a 50% deposit is needed to confirm reservations during these periods.

Once your payment is received, we’ll email a written confirmation, your personalised itinerary and any relevant travel documents, along with a formal receipt for every transaction.

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Plans shift — we understand. Our cancellation structure is straightforward:

  • 30 days or more before arrival: Full refund minus any bank or transaction fees
  • 15 to 29 days before arrival: 25% cancellation fee of total tour cost
  • 7 to 14 days before arrival: 50% cancellation fee
  • Less than 7 days before arrival or no-show: 100% cancellation fee

Where a refund is due, we process it within 14 business days of receiving your written cancellation. A handful of Nile cruise vessels and boutique hotels operate on stricter cancellation windows; whenever that applies, your itinerary will spell it out clearly.

Children Policy

Egypt is a wonderful country to explore with children, and our family pricing reflects that:

  • Infants under 2 years: Free of charge
  • Children 2–5 years: 25% of adult price
  • Children 6–11 years: 50% of adult price
  • Children 12 years and above: Full adult price

These reduced rates apply when children share a room with two full-paying adults. Certain Nile cruise ships and luxury properties operate their own child policies or minimum-age rules, which we’ll flag inside your itinerary whenever they’re relevant to you.

Optional Visits & Entry Tickets

A handful of memorable experiences sit outside our standard packages. You’re welcome to add them when you book or arrange them on the ground, subject to availability. Popular choices include:

  • Entry inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu and other tombs
  • Sound & Light Shows at Giza Pyramids, Karnak, or Philae Temples
  • Hot air balloon rides over Luxor at sunrise
  • Camel rides or horse-drawn carriage tours in historic districts
  • Private photo sessions at iconic landmarks

These extras can be paid for in USD or in Egyptian Pounds (EGP). We strongly suggest reserving them ahead of time, particularly during peak travel months.

Additional Expenses to Budget For

Our packages are generous, but you’ll still want a small budget on hand for the following:

  • Personal purchases (souvenirs, snacks, etc.)
  • Beverages during meals unless specified
  • Hotel extras (minibar, room service, laundry, etc.)
  • Egypt entry visa fees (usually payable on arrival)
  • SIM cards or internet access unless provided
  • Gratuities and optional experiences

Keeping a modest amount of Egyptian Pounds (EGP) in your pocket makes tipping and picking up small items at local souqs and markets far easier.

Tipping Guidelines in Egypt

Tipping — known locally as “baksheesh” — is the traditional Egyptian way of recognising good service. It isn’t compulsory, but it’s warmly appreciated:

  • Tour guide: $15–$20 per day per group
  • Driver: $5–$10 per day per group
  • Nile Cruise crew: $5–$10 per person per night (shared among staff)
  • Hotel staff (porters, housekeeping): Small tips of $1–$2

Gratuities are not included in our package pricing, so it’s a good idea to keep a few small-denomination USD or EGP notes handy throughout your trip.

FAQ

What is the Best Time to Travel to Egypt?

Egypt is at its most inviting through the cooler half of the year — roughly November to February — when daytime temperatures are gentle and outdoor sites such as the pyramids, Luxor’s temples and the Nile-side ruins can be explored in genuine comfort. Try to avoid the deep summer months of June through August, when the mercury regularly climbs above 40°C (104°F) across much of the country and long walks between monuments become a real challenge.

What is needed to enter Egypt?

Before you fly, make sure the following are in order:

  • Passport: Valid for at least six months from the date of entry.

  • Visa: Depending on your nationality you may need to arrange one ahead of travel or obtain it on arrival; several nationalities can also apply online for an e-visa.

  • Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended, covering medical care and any other unexpected disruptions to your trip.

  • Vaccinations: None are mandatory for entry, but a conversation with your GP or travel clinic ahead of departure is always worthwhile for personal recommendations.

Is it Safe to Travel to Egypt Right Now?

Egypt is broadly a safe destination for visitors, with a serious, visible commitment to tourist security around major sites and cities. That said, sensible travellers always glance at their own government’s current travel advice before departing and keep an eye on local news once they arrive, so decisions are based on the latest picture rather than yesterday’s headlines.

How do I book a trip?

  • Decide Your Travel Dates and Budget
    Nail down when you’d like to travel and roughly what you want to spend. Those two decisions shape everything that follows — flights, hotels and the shape of your tour.

  • Choose Your Itinerary and Destinations
    Egypt is a big country with distinct highlights: Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, Aswan, a Nile Cruise, Alexandria and the Red Sea resorts. Sketch which regions matter most and how long you’d like in each.

  • Find a Reliable Tour Operator or Travel Agency
    You can go direct with a locally based Egyptian operator, book through an international agency, or use a specialist online platform. Read independent reviews carefully — reputation is everything in this trade.

  • Select a Tour Package or Customize Your Trip
    Many operators publish ready-made packages that bundle flights, hotels, transport and guiding. Alternatively, work with an agent to shape a bespoke itinerary that matches your interests, pace and budget.

  • Make a Reservation
    Once your itinerary is settled, get in touch to confirm availability. You’ll share your traveller details and pay either a deposit or the full amount, depending on the operator’s booking policy.

  • Prepare Your Travel Documents
    Check your passport is still valid, sort your Egyptian visa if you need one, and keep printed or digital copies of all confirmations, hotel vouchers and tour receipts to hand.

  • Pack and Get Ready
    Pack for the climate and the activities on your programme. Broken-in walking shoes, high-factor sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat and a universal travel adapter are non-negotiables.

  • Enjoy Your Trip!
    Once you land, follow the itinerary, stay in touch with your guide or agency and let Egypt’s history and hospitality do the rest.

Is Tipping Included in the Tour Price?

Tipping — known throughout Egypt as “baksheesh” — is woven into daily life and is almost never built into the tour price. Guides, drivers and hotel staff all rely on gratuities as a meaningful part of their income. As a broad guide, tip in proportion to the service you received, roughly 10-15% of the bill or fare where a percentage makes sense.
