What travelers are saying

"Thank you for reaching out! This trip was absolutely phenomenal—truly the best 10 days of my life. I’m incredibly grateful for everything you arranged. Cindy, in particular, took such good care of me. It felt like she was supporting me around the clock, and I really appreciate her dedication. I’m already eager to recommend your services to my friends and colleagues. On top of that, I realized how much I love the South Island—I’m hoping to visit Queenstown and Mount Cook National Park next, perhaps while participating in some business-related community events. I’d be thrilled if your company could help me plan that trip as well. Thank you again for everything. I look forward to traveling with you in the future!"

What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

What travelers are saying

"Egypt – June 10 to June 16 We had planned this trip over almost two years. After looking at offerings from various vendors, we selected Memphis Tours. In a brief high-level summary, they did NOT disappoint! In rating this adventure on a 5-star scale, 5. One of my bucket list is to see the ancient wonders of the world. I’ve been to the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, the Acropolis in Athens, Colosseum in Rome, Machu Pichu, Great Wall of China, Stone Henge and now the antiques of Egypt. We structured this trip to see a lot; the Pyramids of Giza; The temples of Aswan and the temples of Luxor including the Valley of Kings. In a word WOW! To be up close, touch and otherwise experience these monuments some almost 5,000-year-old, is mind blowing. To understand the context in human history is amazing. Our trip included a mini-cruise on the Nile (WOW!). The boat the “Minerva” was good; including accommodations, staff and food. We flew from Cairo to Aswan, caught the boat, sailed from Aswan to Luxor; then flew back to Cairo to go home. Flights were included in our package. In the hope of not botching names, I’d like to call out three people: “Menna” who was our coordinator and overall “boss” of our trip. This young lady can do it all. “Mai” who was our guide in Cairo/Giza, so smart, feisty and knowledgeable in all things ancient Egypt. Lastly, but NOT least is “Waled” who took us to Aswan and Luxor. His passion and knowledge are amazing. I’m just glad there wasn’t a test after. Their in-depth knowledge of not just facts, but the whys are incredible. Memphis Tours – be glad you have these folks on your team!"

What travelers are saying

"We booked a trip to Italy with Sky Vacations and could not have been happier with the results. We didn’t want to do the usual tourist visits because we had been to Italy before. They designed a trip that took us to Umbria and Marche and Lake Bracciano and it was great. We wanted to stay in luxury, smaller hotels, do cooking classes, wine tasting and some touring and every item was executed perfectly. We’re now booking Greece with them. A great company we highly recommend."

Our cruise north on the Nile River on the Ms. Blue shadow was beautiful. It was a perfect cruise ship with a very friendly staff. In Aswan where we started our cruise, our guide engy met us at the airport and accompanied us up the Nile to Aswan. As an egyptologist and archeologist, she was a store of information. I know we could not see everything, but what we did see was awesome. Specially Abu Simple temple and the place at the end of Nasser Lake and the Nile it was so excellent experience and a totally great trip!!!!! Egypt is a must-do vacation."

What travelers are saying

"Found company on the internet and we were a bit nervous. Alick Peng put a 12 day tour together for us, our dates didn't fit in with a full guided tour, and it was magnificent. We enjoyed every day, hotels, food and especially the guides, Ayumi especially. The itinerary was first class and we even managed to travel between towns on our own. Tickets, routes, and guidelines were clear and easy to follow. The only time we got lost was trying to get out of Tokyo station. Once again, thanks."

Pyramids of Giza Tour Selection Trips

  • If you are interested in taking a camel or horse ride around the Pyramids, try booking your ride early. This way you won’t be advertised to by more hawkers as you continue with your visit.
  • Don’t climb the Pyramids -- it’s illegal. However, sometimes one of the police will offer to let you climb on of the smaller pyramids. You can accept his offer without fear of getting arrested, though expect him to ask for a tip when you get back down.
  • The best view of the Pyramids for a photograph is on the sand dunes, on the opposite of the city of Giza. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to this area, and you will be walking through sand to get there. If you think this may be too physically demanding, depending on your fitness or age, many tourists prefer to take a camel or horse to this location. This also makes for a great photo!

Additional details

What is the museum at the Pyramids of Giza?

The museum located directly in front of the Pyramids of Giza is the Giza Solar Boat Museum. Inside is one of the greatest archaeological finds of our time: a nearly perfectly preserved ancient Egyptian ship, buried for the pharaoh Khufu to take with him into the afterlife. This ship has been identified as the world’s oldest intact ship, and provides extremely valuable insight into ancient Egyptian life.

The function of the ship is not completely understood, although many experts believe it is a “solar ship” -- or a spiritual vessel meant to carry the pharaoh into the heavens with the sun god, Ra. You may learn more about this ship if you take an educational tour at the site

Weather and What to Wear at the Pyramids of Giza

The weather at the Pyramids remains warm year-round, and is guaranteed to be dry. In the summer months (April to October) temperatures average in the low 90’s (Fahrenheit) or the low 30’s (Celsius). In the winter, temperatures are typically in the low 70’s (Fahrenheit) or the low 20’s (Celsius).

Aliens and the Pyramids

One popular conspiracy theory surrounding the Pyramids of Giza is that they were built by aliens. The theory suggests that such a task would have been physically impossible for the ancient Egyptians, who lacked the tools and technology to complete them. Your tour of the pyramids will likely go into some of these theories in depth!  

Egyptian Pyramid Facts

  • The Pyramids of Giza are only 3 over over 140 pyramids in all of Egypt.
  • They are the only remaining ancient wonders of the world.
  • The pyramids were originally encased in polished limestone, which made them appear white and reflective.
  • Nobody knows for sure how many people worked on constructing the pyramids, but estimates are generally around 100,000 people, which would have been about 10% of the population at the time.
  • Each of the pyramids aligns perfectly with the stars in the constellation of Orion. Many experts think this was intentional.
  • The temperature inside the tombs of the pyramids is consistently around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The pyramids were not actually built by slaves or prisoners. Instead, they were built by peasants who were well-fed and given tax breaks.
  • No writing or hieroglyphics have ever been found inside of the pyramids.
  • The pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which was associated with the realm of the dead.
  • Each of the stones on each pyramid was hand chiseled with a copper pick, although there is no consensus on how the stones were moved.
  • One of the smaller pyramids, Menkaure’s Pyramid, is damaged on its north side. This happened when one of Egypt’s later sultans, Al-Aziz, attempted to destroy the structure. He found the task too difficult, however, and soon gave up.
