Camel ride at the Pyramids with noted camel host

Say Yes to a camel ride at the Pyramids! High on a camel's back you are at a sand dune with most perfect panoramic view of the nine Pyramids to take wonderful photos with.

The camel hosts around the Pyramids run the world's most notorious tourist traps: they overcharge, mislead the routes, take your change as their tips…. We outsmart them by offering you a complimentary camel ride at your memorable Giza Pyramid visit.

Special treat inside the tunnel entrance to the Khufu Pyramid

We explore both inside and outside the great pyramid of Khufu with you. After travelling all the way to Egypt, you get to see and feel the Pyramids both outside and inside. Clambering up through a long dark and hot tunnel to a small coffin chamber requires body strength. And you won't be disappointed. Most visitors treasure this unique experience.

Other than exploring deep inside a Pyramid, you may choose to take a one-hour felucca ride on the Nile in Cairo or Aswan. You choose either one or the other, we do the rest.

Visit five Kings' tombs instead of three

The Valley of the Kings on the west bank of Luxor is where over 60 pharaohs' tombs were found, but only a handful can be visited. Tourists generally visit three tombs on one entrance ticket. But you come to visit two extra tombs - KV9 and KV62.

KV9 - Ramesses V & VI: One of the largest burials with a very long pillared hallway and an astronomical ceiling features the complete Book of the Heavens.

KV62 - Tutankhamun: You should have seen the gold mask and the golden sarcophagi of Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum. Now, let's examine this tomb with the largest collection of artifacts in the valley. There is also the mummy of King Tut in this burial chamber.
