About this tour
Experience the timeless desert panorama of the Giza Plateau from camelback on this half-day private excursion from Cairo or Giza. Accompanied by a licensed English-speaking Egyptologist guide and an experienced Bedouin camel handler, you will first explore the monumental exterior of the Great Pyramids, then ride a camel across the sandy Giza Plateau to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the pyramids, and finally descend to visit the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx.
Following pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel at 08:30 in a private air-conditioned vehicle, begin on the Giza Plateau beside the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Next, mount your well-cared-for desert camel for a 1-hour guided ride across the sandy plateau ridge overlooking the pyramids, before descending to walk through the Valley Temple and stand before the Great Sphinx.
All plateau entrance tickets, the 1-hour camel ride, bottled mineral water and private door-to-door hotel transfers are included, returning you to your hotel by 13:00.
