Itinerary
Day 1: Explore Giza Pyramids, Great Statue of Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum
Private Pick-Up from Soma Bay Hotel
Be ready for early departure from your hotel. Meet our representative at the hotel lobby, and get your air-conditioned seat in the private vehicle going ahead to Cairo.
Unlock the Giza Pyramids and the Great Statue of Sphinx Secrets.
What is the reality of who built the Giza Pyramids, slaves or creative workers?! The truth will surprise you. What about the hidden energy inside these pyramids and their relationship with Orion’s Belt? All of that made Napoleon Bonaparte spend a night inside the pyramid.
Obviously, the pyramids have not been just royal tombs! Then, why was the Great Statue of the Sphinx built?! Was the Nile running here, and is that why you find pits of the royal solar boats?
Uncover all these mysteries and more while standing in awe before the Great Pyramid of Cheops, where you find beside the Queens’ Pyramids “Satellite Pyramids,” Solar Boat Pits, and the Mortuary Temple for purifying the mummies with 7 holy oils—pharaonic puzzles to live their details.
Proceed to the Chephren Pyramid, and meet the Causeway for carrying the royal mummies; meet the Valley Temple for mummifying the royal tombs.
Visit the Menkaure Pyramid, and arrive at the Panorama, taking dazzling shots with the Six Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, after taking shots while touching the majesty of each pyramid. Finally, arrive at the Great Statue of the Sphinx. As your awe-inspiring visit to the Giza Pyramids concludes, a well-deserved lunch awaits.
Relish a local Egyptian lunch.
Experience a lunch meal rich with amazing flavors, offering one of the most delicious foods you can taste in your life. Afterwards, proceed to the Egyptian Museum.

- Very kind and profesional people. In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of. Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life. You will go on a trip and come back as friends. I highly recommend golavita Tours!
- The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
- We had a great quad bike ride in the afternoon. The guide had a great energy and humor that made the tour extra good. On the way to the tour we had a driver that shouldn't be driving tourist, but when we told it to the company they gave us a another driver that drove perfect so we could relax in the car. That's a good and professional way of handling a problem. We can recommend this company.
- Great service. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car. Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days. Would highly recommend.
- Great private tour to see desert and abandoned Roman ruins. Excellent service. We had private jeep, driver and tour guide. Amazing adventure, more than we expected. I strongly recommend this service. They can take you to some cool and unknown places far from main routes. Thank you for the amazing time!
- Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt". As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things. And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too. The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️ Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.
- We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
- Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!
- Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it. We received exactly the services reserved.
