The Unas Pyramid Stop: Explore the mysteries of the decorations inside this pyramid with a Golavita tour guide!
Enter this pyramid, where you will find the first Pyramid Text in history, “A third of the Pyramid Texts up to 228 chapters"; it was built in the 5th dynasty and includes an amazing burial room. When uniquely focusing the torches, the inscriptions on the wall turn into the king shape. These drawings show us the king's trip to the sky after death, and other ones represent his return to being one of the gods.
The Idot Tomb Stop: Immerse Yourself in the details of the daily life of the pharaohs
Move to the Idot tomb, one of the most beautiful tombs, which includes drawings representing the daily life of ancient Egypt. The top outstanding scenes of hunting from ancient Egypt are located inside this tomb, where peasants returning from farmland and offerings are found.
The lotus flower is the dominant feature of the cemetery, and therefore it is one of the most beautiful areas for spiritual energy.
The Saqqara Pyramid Complex Stop: It is where limestone was used for the first time for building in human history instead of mud brick by the genius engineer Imhotep
Immerse yourself in where the Heb-Sed or the Feast of the Tail, was celebrated in the Heb-Sed festival hall every 30 years, and then every 4 years, the ancient Egyptians performed a medical examination on the king to ensure his eligibility to rule Egypt.
Climb down 28 meters and arrive at the southern tomb, which is in the pyramid itself and includes a Pharaonic sarcophagus and other rooms that represent what is included completely inside the Giza Pyramids; this tomb has an extra fee.
Reach the basement where the statue of King Djoser was found with two holes in front of the eyes to look at the northern stars so that the soul may return to him from time to time and visit him.
Dahshur Pyramids Tour
Immerse yourself in the heart of history's victories by building the first correct pyramid in the history of humanity, the Red Pyramid.
It is the first smooth pyramid in history; this pyramid has mineral compositions that include ammonia to cure people of skin diseases. Spend some time inside the pyramid, learn about the secrets of the Red Pyramid from your expert Egyptologist and you can visit it from the inside.
Go ahead to the Bent Pyramid, and let your tour guide narrate for you the mysteries of this first smooth pyramid and the second pyramid in history after the Step Pyramid of Djoser; explore if that is right since the pyramid was built in a wrong way and that is why Senfru built another one or not!

Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
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.
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.
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!
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.
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
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!
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
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.
