This private day connects the Giza Plateau with the Grand Egyptian Museum instead of treating them as two unrelated stops. Your guide introduces Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure at the pyramids, continues below the plateau at the Sphinx, then uses the museum collections to complete the story.
General admission to both sites, a set Egyptian lunch and private Cairo or Giza hotel transfers are included. Interior pyramid tickets and special museum exhibitions remain optional, so you only pay for extras you genuinely want.
