Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids & Sphinx with lunch
Pair the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx with the Grand Egyptian Museum in one private day, including a licensed guide, hotel transfers, general admission and Egyptian lunch.
- The three Giza pyramids and desert panorama
- The Great Sphinx and Valley Temple
- A guided visit inside the Grand Egyptian Museum
- Egyptian lunch and private hotel transfers
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.
