    More about this tour
    In a vehicle
    Short drives within Cairo and Giza
    At the sites
    Most of the 7 hours, split between the plateau and the museum
    Format
    Private
    Best time
    Start early: the plateau is coolest and quietest in the first hours after opening

    Our tip: Do the plateau first while it is cool, and give the museum the afternoon rather than the last hour of the day.
