A day itinerary where the desert air and ancient times flow together.

Cairo Pyramids & Sphinx in the most efficient way, the Cairo Pyramids & Sphinx one-day course 09:00 — Entry to the Giza Pyramid Complex After purchasing tickets at the entrance, step inside to witness the overwhelming view of the three great pyramids all at once. This time of day is relatively less crowded, making it ideal for exploration. 09:20 — Viewing & Photo Spot at the Great Pyramid of Khufu As the largest pyramid, its sheer size is beyond imagination when standing close. Highly recommended to take shots from the front, side, and looking up from below. Internal entry is optional but note that the stairs are steep and it can be hot inside. 10:10 — Move to Khafre & Menkaure Pyramids Head to the best spot where you can view all three pyramids together. This is the point where the alignment of the pyramids on the desert appears most beautiful. 10:40 — Panorama Point (A Must-Visit) You can also opt to ride a camel to this spot. This is the ultimate photo spot where all three pyramids fit into one frame. Both cameras and phones capture stunning shots here. 11:30 — Move to the Sphinx As you leave the pyramids behind, the massive Sphinx comes into view, amplifying the ancient atmosphere. Be sure to take front shots, side shots, and fun photos like placing the Sphinx on your palm. 12:10 — Explore the Temples Around the Sphinx Take a brief look at the structures, sculptures, and temples supporting the Sphinx. As the sunlight gets stronger, make sure to stay hydrated. 13:00 — Lunch (Recommended Pyramid View Restaurants) Enjoy a leisurely lunch at cafes or restaurants like 9 Pyramids Lounge or Khan Garden, where you can see the pyramids at a glance. Dining while overlooking the desert is one of the highlights of an Egypt trip. 14:30 — Egyptian Museum (Optional Extension) If you want a brief experience of Tutankhamun's treasures and Egyptian civilization before or after visiting the pyramids and Sphinx, this is a good time to head there.
