My experience on the half-day tour to the Pyramids and Sphinx was absolutely enchanting. Our guide, Amina, made history so engaging, and her enthusiasm was contagious. The Pyramids were monumental, and the Sphinx was shrouded in an air of mystique. The tour was well-organized, allowing us to explore and take photos at our own pace. If you’re a history buff or just looking to be awed by ancient wonders, this tour is a must!
