Why we recommend it
Egypt Tours Portal is a travel company with its office in the Panorama Pyramids Tower on Pyramids Street, on the Giza side of greater Cairo. The company has been accredited by Egypt's Ministry of Tourism since 1987, under licence number 672, and is a member of the Egyptian Travel Agents Association. It holds several ISO certifications for quality and safety management, and it sells tours to travellers from many countries through its website.
Its Cairo day tours cover the main sights, including the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Egyptian Museum, the Citadel, Coptic Cairo and Khan el-Khalili, along with day trips beyond the city. Beyond Cairo, the company offers Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan, excursions from the Red Sea resorts, and multi-day packages in different styles, from budget and family trips to luxury, honeymoon and solo itineraries, as well as combined routes such as Egypt and Jordan.
The company suits travellers who want an organised trip with guides and transport arranged, and those who prefer to plan a full itinerary in one place. Families, couples and solo travellers are all catered for, and tailor-made tours can be built around specific interests or timings. As with any operator, compare what is included, such as entry fees, meals and tips, before deciding between tours.
Enquiries can be made by phone or WhatsApp, or through the contact form on the website, and staff can advise on routes and timings. Booking ahead is wise for the busy season from October to April and for major holidays, particularly for Nile cruises, which have limited cabins. Most Cairo day tours include hotel pick-up, which simplifies logistics in a city with heavy traffic.
The office on Pyramids Street is a short drive from the Giza plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum, which suits visitors staying near the pyramids. Travellers staying in Downtown, Zamalek or Garden City are usually collected from their hotel. Allow extra time on tour days that cross the city, especially in the morning and late afternoon rush hours. A guided first day at Giza is a good way to get your bearings, after which many travellers feel confident exploring Islamic Cairo or Downtown independently, using a guide again only for the more complex sites. Ask for a licensed Egyptologist guide if detailed historical commentary matters to you.
