📍 The Pyramids of Giza
It was built for Pharaoh Khufu in 2580-2560 BC. It has chambers for the king and queen, a Robbers' Tunnel, a modern opening gate, the Grand Gallery, and a deep vacuum. 2.3 billion bricks were used to build this wonderful marvel in Egypt.
📍 Sphinx
The Sphinx's creation date is debated, but it's most likely from the reign of Khafre around 2500 BCE. However, some scholars think Djedefre created it after trying to take the throne.
📍 Memphis
Memphis served as the capital of the first nome of Lower Egypt and the Old Kingdom of Egypt from its inception until approximately 2200 BC. In addition, it functioned as an administrative hub throughout ancient history, with intermittent periods of use during the New Kingdom.
📍 Saqqara
Saqqara is home to numerous pyramids, including the famous Pyramid of Djoser. It's the oldest complete stone building complex in history and was built in the Third Dynasty. Other Egyptian kings and officials also built pyramids and funeral monuments in the area for over 3,000 years.

Night Cairo tour with Respect Egypt Tours
Feb 2026 • Friends
We had the absolute best experience with our guide, Reda. From the very beginning, she was warm, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought so much depth and context to everything we saw, but explained it in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, not overwhelming. Reda struck the perfect balance between professional and personable. She made us feel safe, taken care of, and genuinely excited to be there. You could tell she truly loves what she does, and that passion made the entire experience unforgettable. She was attentive to our questions, mindful of our pace, and always one step ahead, whether it was navigating crowds, sharing historical insight, or making sure we were comfortable. Having her as our guide elevated the entire trip. If you get the chance to tour with Reda, take it. She was simply great.
A great guide working for a great tour company

The pre-tour customer service support was the best I’ve experienced for a day trip in a dozen years of travel – highly responsive and clear – including accommodation of my late modification to the itinerary. My thanks to Nada. My guide on a private tour to the GEM and Old Cairo Museum, Laila, is young but knows her subject matter and explains things well. Often with day trip guides you can tell that they know the script but are less comfortable with broader or deeper questions. That is not true of Laila. She has put in the homework needed to know Egypt’s extensive history. She really knows her way around both museums, too, which helped maximize my time. And she has a friendly, casual style that makes her comfortable to be with for a full day. I would not hesitate to request her for another tour. Our driver, Ayman, was excellent. He called me at the hotel the day before the tour to confirm the pick up time. I’ve never had that happen on any other tour. It was a nice touch. On the drive he was good at pointing out local sections of Cairo and landmarks, and was deft at getting off the main road and cutting through a residential section to pick up our guide (it was interesting to see neighborhoods up close).
Great trip !!

Our group of four had an excellent visit to Egypt in mid January, thanks to Respect Egypt Tours. We had built a custom tour for four family members to pick us up at the airport, secure visas, get around Cairo and Luxor, take us to all the must-see sites, and generally babysit us. This tour company exceeded our expectations. Our guides were Wael in Cairo and Ahmad in Luxor, both skilled, knowledgeable and very friendly. The Respect Egypt Tour coordinator, Nada, was more attentive before and during the tour than any I have ever worked with. We highly recommend this company to all who want some hands on when they visit Egypt.

Yes, of course! Luxor is an open-air museum rich in historical monuments. From the huge temples of Karnak and Luxor to tombs in the Valley of Kings where pharaohs were buried, all aspects of Luxor, represent the golden age of Egyptian history. If you look at the massive structures or complex hieroglyphs, Luxor offers plenty of history and culture as well.
Luxor’s best assets are the impressive temples and tombs which still contain the glory of ancient Egypt. In this city lies the popular temple complex of Karnak Temple the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings which was the resting place of King Tut. Due to these historical sites, Luxor is one of those countries in Egypt that every tourist would like to visit if time travel is within reach.
Yes, two days in Luxor are perfect to see the highlights! You’ll have enough time to explore the East Bank, including Karnak and Luxor Temples, and the West Bank, where the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple reside. For those with a passion for ancient history, even more time could be rewarding, but two days will give you a solid, unforgettable experience.
In one day you can see the main attractions of Luxor with a well-planned itinerary. Begin the day with the great Karnak Temple, and visit the lively Luxor Temple before moving on to the West Bank. There, visit the tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the beautiful Temple of Hatshepsut. Finish the day with a delightful sunset cruise on the Nile River.
