Day tours in Egypt are the fastest way to see the Pyramids of Giza from Israel. Our private Cairo tour from Eilat picks you up at your Eilat hotel in the evening, helps you through the Taba border and drives overnight across the Sinai, so you reach the Giza plateau in the morning, before the midday heat and the biggest crowds.
With your own Egyptologist guide you see the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, a papyrus workshop and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, with a buffet lunch of Egyptian dishes. You drive back the same evening and are at your Eilat hotel late that night. It is a long day, so it suits travelers who are happy to rest in the vehicle on the way.
Want more time in Cairo? The 2 day Cairo tour from Eilat adds a hotel night, Saqqara and Coptic Cairo. From the same Eilat base you can also add a Petra day tour in Jordan. Planning the whole trip? Read our Cairo and Egypt travel guide or message us on WhatsApp.
