How long is the Pyramid tour?
approximately 8 hours
“How long is the Giza Pyramid tour?” The tour is approximately 8 hours. It depends, because you may spend additional time climbing inside the Pyramids, riding a camel, viewing the Egyptian Museum or shopping in Khan El Khalili Bazaar. My guide was Ali G., of Emo Tours, and he was fantastic.
