Giza Pyramids, Memphis & Sakkara Day Tour (Without Guide)
About this tour
The same eight-hour route as our guided pyramid day — Giza and the Sphinx, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, and the old capital at Memphis — but with the driver and the car only.
Your driver handles the roads, the parking and the waiting, and you take each site at whatever pace suits you. It is the cheaper way to do the day, and the right one if you have read the history already and would rather stand in front of it quietly.
Entry tickets are bought at each gate. Going inside the Great Pyramid is $35 per person and the Middle Pyramid is $10; a camel along the ridge is $20 for an hour or $10 for half of it. Water and an air-conditioned car are included.

Questions people ask before booking
Is this a private tour, or will I be sharing it?
Private. The vehicle and driver are yours alone and no other travellers join, so you set the pace and can change the order of the day as you go. This particular tour runs without a guide at the sites — if you would rather have an Egyptologist with you, ask us and we will quote the guided version.
Will you collect me from my hotel?
Yes. Hotel pickup and drop-off anywhere in Cairo or Giza is part of the price. Tell us your hotel when you book, and if you are arriving on the day, send the flight number so the driver can track it.
Will the driver stop for prayer, and can lunch be halal?
Yes to both. Tell your driver at pickup and the day is arranged around prayer times, with a stop at a mosque when you need one. Meals are at local restaurants where halal is the norm rather than a special request — say so when booking and it is confirmed in advance.
Do I need a visa for Egypt?
It depends on the passport you hold, not on where you live. Requirements, fees and processing times are set by the Egyptian government and change without notice, so check the official portal at visa2egypt.gov.eg or the Egyptian Consulate in Dubai for your own nationality. Our Egypt visa guide for UAE residents explains the routes and the traps.
How do I get a price for this tour?
Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and how many people are travelling, and you get one total price in writing before you commit. Because the vehicle and guide are priced for the party rather than per head, a family of four pays far less per person than a couple. Nothing is added afterwards.
