Important information
Private or group

What to bring
- Passport or ID copy
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Sunscreen and a hat
- Camera
Know before you go
- This is a shared departure: the programme runs in a fixed order and the group moves together. You cannot reorder, add or skip a stop — that is what keeps the price at this level. Our private Cairo tours change freely.
- Three main sights in a day, no more. A fourth turns the day into a march between car parks. Here they are the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Giza plateau, and a felucca on the Nile.
- Bring the passport or ID you booked with. Domestic security asks for the original — a photocopy is not accepted.
- The museum is booked for opening time, ahead of the coach groups. Flying is what makes that possible without a 03:00 start.
- Dahshur is not on this trip. It is on both two-day versions and on the private flight day.
