Giza Pyramids Tour |
To travel to Egypt, fabled land of the Pharaohs is to step back in time and to walk through the remnants of one of the greatest civilisations ever created. A cosmopolitan, bustling city, Cairo has an extraordinary heritage. Our Cairo services feature the security and convenience of private transfers, with assistance through customs. On the Giza Pyramids Tour enjoy comprehensive private sightseeing with an accredited English speaking guide to provide a fascinating insight into the wonders of ancient Cairo including the Giza Pyramids Tour. On the Giza Pyramids Tour you will marvel at the three pyramids each of which once had an adjoining mortuary temple. The Giza Pyramids Tour allows you to admire the 'great' pyramid, a truly an astonishing work of engineering skill. For over four thousands years, until the modern era, it was the tallest building in the world. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. On Tempo Holidays Taste of Cairo packages the Giza Pyramids Tour with your own private guide will be one of your highlights.
When visiting Luxor's amazing West Bank the Valley of the Kings Tour will also awe and inspire you. The Valley of the Kings Tour will always form part of the sightseeing on any Nile Cruise, but if you are simply visiting Luxor then Tempo Holidays can also arrange a privately guided Valley of the Kings Tour for you.
The Valley of the Kings in Upper Egypt contains many of the tombs of pharaohs from the New Kingdom, including Tutankhamun and Ramesses the Great. One of the dilemmas for the normal tourist is trying to decide which tombs to enter. The normal ticket permits three tombs and that will probably suffice for one visit. If you rush, you won't appreciate or remember the details of each tomb. The tomb of Tutankhamun requires a separate ticket. Some tombs may be closed for restoration when you visit but whichever tombs you visit the Valley of the Kings Tour will illuminate one of history's great civilisations.
