About this tour
This is the day most people come to Egypt for, run the way it should be: early enough to beat the coaches, with a guide who can actually explain what you are looking at, and a driver who waits so you are never rushed.

Questions about this tour
They are quoted separately so you only pay for what you actually want to enter — the plateau ticket, the interior chambers and the Solar Boat museum are all priced individually. Your guide buys them for you on the day.
Comfortable closed shoes, light long sleeves and a hat. There is very little shade on the plateau.
