He asked immediately what we wanted to get from the tour and made sure to focus on this, particularly the history, as we went.

Our driver took us around Cairo safely and was always nearby when we needed to be picked up. Doaa was very knowledgeable about the sights in Cairo and helped explain what many of the buildings and statues were. She is very funny and kind. I asked to go somewhere that wasn't listed on the itinerary and she was more than happy to take us there. We felt very safe with her and our driver. I am so glad we got to meet…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 73 reviews · from $90

This private Cairo tour joins the Giza pyramids and Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili in roughly eight hours. A driver-guide such as Sam or Sayed handles the route and photos, while optional lunch, pyramid entry, and ticket upgrades make the day easier to arrange.

“For a single female solo traveller, this really was the best option to ensure my safety. Sam was prompt, was a wealth of info & took some great pictures for me. Would suggest skipping paying extra for the lunch though. If you really want time at the museum though, suggest doing this by yourself- felt it was a bit rushed.”
