Private Tour to Giza Pyramids and Meidum from Cairo
Overview
Enjoy a completely different and unconventional journey together to the Meidum Pyramid, which was built after the Saqqara Pyramid to achieve its pyramidal shape. It is located between Lake Fayoum and the city of Memphis.
The pyramid of Meidum marks a transition in the Old Kingdom (2647-2150) between the pyramids of the Third Dynasty (2647-2575) and those of the Fourth Dynasty (2575-2465). After the traditional step funerary monuments of Saqqara, this pyramid marks a new stage that will lead to the smooth-sided pyramids.
The pyramids and why the Egyptians built them have preoccupied many people for centuries. This has often led them to deviate from the logic of reason. They have surrounded the Egyptian pyramids, especially the Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid in Egypt, with a wealth of exciting stories and myths about their construction method and functional role. This has led some to question the identity of those who built them, as well as other stories that are not based on historical or scientific foundations. Learn the truth and recorded history with an educated Egyptian guide who speaks your language fluently.

The ideal time to book a Cairo day tour depends on several factors, including the time of year you plan to visit, the popularity of the tour, and your own preferences. Here are some general guidelines:
Peak Tourist Season: If you plan to visit Cairo during the peak tourist season, which is typically from October to April when the weather is more comfortable, it's advisable to book your day tour well in advance. This is especially important for popular tours and attractions, as availability may be limited.
Advance Booking: As a general rule of thumb, booking your Cairo day tour at least a few weeks to a few months in advance is a good idea. This allows you to secure your preferred tour date and time, especially if you have specific sites or activities in mind.
Last-Minute Options: While advance booking is recommended, Cairo also offers many tours on relatively short notice. If you have flexibility in your schedule and are open to available options, you can often find day tours with a day or two of notice, especially during the less busy travel months.
Specialty Tours: If you're interested in specialty tours, such as hot air balloon rides or camel treks, it's best to book these in advance, as they often have limited availability and require planning.
Group Size: The size of your group can also impact booking. Larger groups may need to secure their spots further in advance, while smaller groups or solo travelers may have more flexibility.
Tour Operator Policies: Check the booking policies of the tour operators you're interested in. Some may offer discounts for booking early, while others may have flexible cancellation policies.
Local Holidays and Events: Be aware of local holidays and events that could affect tour availability. During major holidays and festivals, tours may be in higher demand, so it's best to book early.
Personal Preferences: If you have specific preferences for your day tour, such as a particular guide, language, or itinerary, booking in advance allows you to make those arrangements.
