Egypt Travel Highlights

Giza Pyramids

The Giza complex is a large ancient Egyptian burial site located on the Giza plateau, just outside of Cairo. It consists of several structures, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, the Great Sphinx, and various smaller pyramids and tombs. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest and most well-known structure in the complex, and was built for the pharaoh Khufu during the 26th century BCE. It stands at 147 meters (481 feet) tall and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The Pyramid of Khafre, built for the pharaoh Khafre, is the second-largest pyramid in the complex and stands at 136 meters (446 feet) tall. It is distinguished by its smooth limestone casing at the top of the pyramid. The Pyramid of Menkaure, built for the pharaoh Menkaure, is the smallest of the three main pyramids and stands at 65 meters (213 feet) tall.

Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx is a large limestone statue of a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. It stands near the pyramids and is believed to have been built during the reign of the pharaoh Khafre.

Saqqara Complex

The most famous pyramid in the Saqqara complex is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which was built for the pharaoh Djoser. This pyramid is considered to be the world's oldest major stone structure and was the first pyramid to be built entirely of stone. It was designed by the famous architect Imhotep, who is credited with inventing the pyramid form. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is composed of six stacked mastabas, which are flat-roofed rectangular structures that were commonly used in early Egyptian tombs. The pyramid stands at 62 meters (203 feet) tall and has a base that measures 121 meters (396 feet) by 109 meters (358 feet). Other pyramids in the Saqqara complex include the Pyramid of Unas, the Pyramid of Teti, and the Pyramid of Userkaf. These pyramids were built for other pharaohs of the Old Kingdom period and are notable for their intricate decorations and inscriptions, which provide insight into the beliefs and customs of ancient Egypt.

Egypt Travel FAQs

Are airport transfers included and how do I arrange them?

Yes, all our tours start in Cairo including airport arrival transfer. You should contact us at info@outandaboutadventure.com with all your flight information (name of travelers, date of flight, flight number, and arrival time) at least two weeks before your departure date. You should contact Out and About Adventure if you do not receive confirmation of your pick-up arrangements. On the day of your arrival, an Out and About Adventure representative will meet you at the airport holding a sign with the company's name.

How Can I book pre or post Accommodations?

It's always recommended to book pre/post-tour accommodation, especially if you arrive late at night or depart early in the morning. This will help ensure a smooth and hassle-free transition between your accommodation and the tour itself. During the online booking process, be sure to follow the instructions provided or contact us at info@outandaboutadventure.com directly for assistance with arranging pre/post-tour accommodation.

Where is the welcome meeting on day 1 of my tour?

The welcome meeting with your tour guide and other group members will be held in the hotel lobby around 7 pm. If there are any changes to the arrival hotel, you will be notified by email before the trip. Attending the welcome meeting is important as it's a great opportunity to meet your tour guide and fellow travelers and receive important information about the tour itinerary, safety guidelines, and other important details. However, if you are unable to attend the welcome meeting due to late arrival, be sure to let us know in advance.

Can I be roomed with my friends?

Please contact us at info@outandaboutadventure.com with your request and we will do our best to arrange your room according to that.

I’m a solo passenger, do I need to pay a single supplement?

There are always solo travelers on our tours if you are willing to share a room with another solo traveler of the same gender. While having a single room can be more expensive due to the single room supplement fee, it can be worth it for those who value privacy, and comfort, having a private room allows you to have your own space and privacy, which can be important for some travelers who prefer to have some alone time or need to unwind after a long day of sightseeing.

Do you arrange Flights Tickets?

Our tours do not include airfare from or to the destination, and we do not advise on tickets or sell flight tickets, it`s your responsibility to arrive at the designated destination on time.

What is a Tipping Kitty Cover?

Out and About Adventure collects a tipping kitty at the start of each tour, covering the hotel staff, Drivers, luggage handlers, local staff, and other support representatives throughout the trip. This is often the easiest way to avoid the hassle of needing small change and knowing when and what is an appropriate amount to tip. Participation in this kitty is optional, and you are welcome to manage your tipping separately if you prefer. Please note the tipping kitty excludes tips for your tour leader. On the first day of your trip, your local tour leader will collect a group tipping kitty from you, to which everybody contributes an equal amount at the start of the tour. Your leader then uses this to tip drivers, local guides, and hotel staff, luggage handlers, support representatives on your behalf. This took the hassle out of tipping and was something we were all very grateful for.

Whom will I be sharing a room with?

All our Travelers will stay in twin-share rooms with a Traveler of the same gender. Sharing a room means that you will be staying in the same room with another person, typically a member of the same tour group. The room will be a twin room with two separate beds, you will be paired with someone of the same gender. Sharing a room can be a great way to meet new people and make friends on your trip. You'll have someone to talk to and share experiences with, and you may even stay in touch after the tour. It can also be a more affordable option for travelers on a budget, as you will typically pay less for a shared room than a private one.
