For History and Intrigue? Great Idea to Take a Private Tour of Giza
For a holiday that includes both history and intrigue, it is a great idea to take a private tour of the city of Giza. Situated to the west of Cairo, Egypt’s capital, you will find this amazing city. This governorate is a city in its own right; however, it is mainly associated as part of Cairo.
One of the star attractions listed for Cairo is the Pyramids of Giza, but really, these world-class Pyramids are all belonging to this remarkable city.
Giza is gradually increasing in popularity as a destination to stay when in Egypt. With many new tourist hubs being set up. The main hub for food, entertainment and accommodation in Giza is on El Harem Street otherwise known as the Pyramids Street.
It is difficult to believe that this was once a dusty old carriage track from the big city of Cairo to the small peasant village of Giza. How times have changed when you can enjoy great restaurants, accommodation and shopping on this street nowadays. Read More...
Discover the Egypt's Magical Treasures and Great Pyramids by Private Tours of Giza
To some, this city is a romantic city with the fabulous sights, stunning sunsets and amazing sunrises colouring the pyramids.
For a very different way to take a sightseeing tour of the Pyramids of Giza, why not go by Camel. It maybe a bit of a cliche but how often will you get a chance like this?
Alternatively, there is the opportunity to ride the desert dunes on the spirit of the Egyptian horses. Start your day riding to the pyramids before spending the rest of the day and night on a campsite in the desert. Now that is romantic!
Top 10 Things to See and Do in Giza
Great Sphinx of Giza

Take a sightseeing tour to see this monument of a mythical creature with the head of a human and body of a lion that dates back over 4,500 years. It is the oldest and possibly the most famous statues in the world, an iconic symbol of Egypt in ancient times. With its massive size of seventy-three and a half meters long and twenty meters high made of limestone, The Sphinx of Giza is an impressive and wonderful sight.
Pyramid Of Khafre
2
This Pyramid is the tomb of the Fourth -Dynasty pharaoh Khafre, the son of Khufu, who ruled from C.2558 to 2532 BC. It is the second tallest and second largest pyramid of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and just another amazing place to see on a sightseeing tour. Khafre's pyramid may not be as big as his fathers, but he made up for it by building at a higher elevation and having a more elaborate complex.
The Ramatan Taha Hussein Museum
3
Take a guided tour of the home of the late Dr Taha Hussein who was the doyen of Arabic literature and the most famous person to do with Egyptian contemporary cultural and intellectual history. His home became a museum after he died and it contains part of Dr Taha Hussein’s seven thousand book library, a gramophone and records of rare musical works from such people as Schubert, Verdi and so much more.
Pyramid of Menkaure
4
On a sightseeing tour, visit the third in size pyramid of the great Pyramids. It is only one tenth the size of Khafre’s pyramid but unlike the others, Menkaure’s pyramid, sparing no expense, was encased in granite where the burial chambers are, on the bottom. After his premature death, the work was abandoned until, it is believed that, Menkaure’s heir, Shepseskaf finished the complex using mud brick.
The Pharaonic Village
