Combine up-close views of the Great Pyramid with a gritty hour of quad biking across the desert around Giza. This private six-hour tour pairs an Egyptologist-led visit to the plateau with a guided off-road ride and hotel pickup.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light sharpens the edges of stone as a private van crosses the flat of Giza and pulls up to the plateau. Sand presses at the tires and the three great pyramids—Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure—rise like carved engines of history, their faces catching the sun. A qualified Egyptologist guides the group along the panorama point, down the slope to the Valley Temple and past the watchful Great Sphinx.

Start early to beat the heat

Reusable water bottle
