Tour Overview

Spend one unforgettable day in the company of the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, then step straight into Egypt’s newest cultural landmark. Your private Egyptologist walks you around the three great Pyramids of Giza, guides you to the enigmatic Sphinx, and picks the perfect panoramic viewpoint where all three tombs align for the photograph you have been dreaming of. From there, glide into the Grand Egyptian Museum, where the complete Tutankhamun collection and thousands of glittering artefacts fill soaring, sunlit galleries that overlook the plateau itself. Hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, an unhurried pace, and richly told stories of the pharaohs keep the whole day effortless. Book your day of wonders with Daily Pyramids Tours.

Itinerary

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your hotel, your day of discovery began with a warm welcome from your private Egyptologist guide. Together, you stepped into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set off toward the edge of Cairo, where the desert meets the sky and history rises from the sands.

As you approached the Giza Plateau, the first sight of the pyramids stopped you in your tracks—massive, silent, and timeless. You walked between the ancient giants, pausing to admire their grandeur and feel the echoes of the past in the dry desert air. The Sphinx waited nearby, half-buried in mystery, its gaze locked in place for thousands of years. Standing before it, you couldn’t help but wonder what secrets it still holds.

You continued your journey through the Valley Temple, where ancient rituals once prepared kings for the afterlife. The atmosphere inside was cooler, heavier—almost sacred—as if time itself had slowed within its walls.

With your senses full of history, it was time to rest and refuel. You headed to a local restaurant where a hearty Egyptian lunch was served. Flavors of spiced meats, fresh salads, and seasoned rice offered a delicious pause in your adventure.

The final chapter of the day took you to the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum. Walking through its halls, you were surrounded by treasures that spanned millennia—each artifact telling a different story, each gallery offering a new perspective on ancient life. It felt like stepping through time, guided by your expert companion who brought each piece to life with vivid detail.

As the sun began to lower, painting Cairo in warm gold, your guide returned you to your accommodation. Tired but inspired, you ended the day with a heart full of awe and a mind still wandering the ancient sands of Egypt.

Travel Policy Guide of Daily Pyramids Tours

Pricing Policy

Every rate at Daily Pyramids Tours is displayed in US Dollars (USD) as standard, though we are happy to accept payment in other leading currencies such as Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP) and more, converted at the official exchange rate on the day the payment is made.

Because prices respond to seasonality, supplier availability and shifting market conditions, they can be adjusted without prior notice. The moment your deposit or full payment reaches us, however, the price on your booking is locked in and protected from any future change.

What’s Included in Our Packages:

  • Comfortable accommodation as detailed in your itinerary
  • Private or group transportation
  • Professional, licensed tour guides
  • Daily breakfast and other meals as specified
  • Entrance fees to included attractions
  • Domestic flights or transfers (where applicable)
  • 24/7 on-ground support

Do take a look at your personal booking confirmation and itinerary, which spell out the precise inclusions and exclusions for your trip.

Holiday Supplement:

A 25% surcharge applies to all Nile Cruises and tour packages booked during Christmas, New Year, and Easter holidays due to peak demand.

Booking Confirmation Policy

So your reservation with Daily Pyramids Tours goes through without a hitch, our payment schedule is tailored to the type of service you book:

  • 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 payment clears, a written confirmation, your personalised itinerary and all travel documents arrive by email, together with receipts for anything you have paid.

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Plans shift, and we get it. Our cancellation policy 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 owed, it will be returned within 14 business days of us receiving your written cancellation. A handful of cruises and hotels operate under stricter terms of their own, and any such conditions will be spelled out clearly on your itinerary.

Children Policy

Families are always welcome at Daily Pyramids Tours, and our children’s rates work as follows:

  • 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 reductions apply when children share a room with two full-paying adults. A few Nile Cruises and higher-end hotels set their own rules or minimum ages for younger children, and where that is the case, the details will appear on your itinerary.

Optional Visits & Entry Tickets

A handful of unforgettable extras sit outside the standard package. You can reserve them ahead of time or add them on the ground once you arrive, 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

Optional experiences can be settled in USD or Egyptian Pounds (EGP). Booking in advance is a good idea, particularly when the high season is in full swing.

Additional Expenses to Budget For

Our packages cover the essentials, but a small personal budget is worth setting aside for:

  • 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 some Egyptian Pounds (EGP) in your wallet is helpful for day-to-day moments, especially when tipping or browsing the local markets.

Tipping Guidelines in Egypt

In Egypt, tipping (or “baksheesh”) is the everyday way of thanking someone for good service. It is never obligatory, but it is warmly received:

  • 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

Tips are typically not included in the package rate, so a small stash of USD or EGP notes will make the moment easy whenever the time comes to say thank you.

FAQ

What is the Best Time to Travel to Egypt?

Egypt shows its finest side in the winter, roughly November through February, when the days stay pleasantly mild and outdoor visits to the pyramids, temples and open-air sites are at their most enjoyable. It is wise to avoid the peak of summer, from June to August, when the mercury regularly climbs above 40°C (104°F) across much of the country.

What is needed to enter Egypt?

Before you head to Egypt, most travellers will need the following in order:

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

  • Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need to obtain a visa in advance or upon arrival. Some nationalities are eligible for e-visas.

  • Travel Insurance: Recommended to cover medical emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances.

  • Vaccinations: While no specific vaccinations are required for entry, it’s advisable to check with your healthcare provider for any recommended vaccinations.

Is it Safe to Travel to Egypt Right Now?

By and large, Egypt is a safe and welcoming destination for tourists. Extensive measures are in place to protect visitors, particularly around the major cultural sites and city centres. As with any trip, it is sensible to review your own government’s latest travel advice and keep an ear on local news in the days leading up to your journey.

How do I book a trip?

  • Decide Your Travel Dates and Budget
    Settle on when you would like to travel and roughly how much you want to spend. That single decision will steer everything that follows, from flights to hotels to the shape of your tours.

  • Choose Your Itinerary and Destinations
    Egypt is generous with iconic places, from Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza to Luxor, Aswan, a Nile Cruise, Alexandria and the Red Sea resorts. Pick the stops that call to you and how many nights each deserves.

  • Find a Reliable Tour Operator or Travel Agency
    Book with a local Egyptian specialist, an international travel agency, or a reputable online platform focused on Egypt. Read reviews and ratings carefully so you can trust who you’re travelling with.

  • Select a Tour Package or Customize Your Trip
    Ready-made packages typically bundle flights, hotels, transfers and guided tours into one price. If you would rather tailor everything to your own tastes, most operators will happily build a custom itinerary.

  • Make a Reservation
    Once your package or itinerary is chosen, get in touch with the tour operator to confirm availability. Expect to share your personal details and pay either a deposit or the balance in full, depending on their policy.

  • Prepare Your Travel Documents
    Check that your passport is valid, apply for an Egyptian visa if required, and confirm every booking. Print your itinerary, hotel vouchers and tour confirmations so you have them to hand.

  • Pack and Get Ready
    Pack for the climate and for the activities on your schedule. Comfortable walking shoes, plenty of sunscreen and a travel adapter should sit near the top of the bag.

  • Enjoy Your Trip!
    Once you land, follow your itinerary, keep in touch with your guide or agency and give yourself over to Egypt’s remarkable history and culture.

Is Tipping Included in the Tour Price?

Tipping, known locally as “baksheesh”, is woven into everyday life in Egypt and is not built into your tour cost. It is customary to thank guides, drivers and hotel teams for the care they take of you. As a general benchmark, tip according to the standard of service you received, usually somewhere in the region of 10-15% of the bill or the service cost.
