Horseback or Camel Ride Around the Pyramids

This half-day tour departs from Cairo and Giza hotels for a two-hour camel or horseback ride around the Giza Pyramids. Riders circle the desert perimeter of the plateau, passing the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the Valley Temple of Khafre, and the Great Sphinx. It is the only half-day Giza tour that lets travelers choose between camel and horseback as the mode of transport, making it easy for you to experience Egypt sightseeing day trips as you head toward the iconic Giza Plateau.

Private pickup collects travelers from Cairo or Giza hotels, followed by a drive to the Giza Plateau. At the mounting point, riders choose a camel or a horse and set out on a two-hour desert route around the plateau. The route passes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, continues to the Valley Temple of Khafre, and reaches a desert vantage point of the Great Sphinx before doubling back to the mounting point. A private vehicle then returns travelers to their hotel.

No other half-day tour from Cairo hotels combines a camel-or-horseback choice with a full desert-perimeter circuit of the Giza Plateau in one outing; the closest alternatives are the motorized quad bike route and the guided walking tour of the pyramids and Sphinx. The experience pairs perfectly with our Cairo tours in half a day, especially for travelers short on time but eager for authentic moments.
