See the pyramids from the open desert, not from the car park. You ride your own quad bike over the sand on the edge of the Giza Plateau, with the pyramids in view, and stop for photos at the best viewpoints.
No experience is needed: the guides show you how to drive the ATV before you start and stay with you all the way. We pick you up anywhere in Cairo or Giza.
Your driver picks you up at your hotel or address at a time that suits you.

The ride is on the desert sand south-west of the Giza Plateau.
Most visitors see the pyramids from the plateau road. On a quad bike you see them the way they were meant to be seen, rising out of the open desert. Here is what to expect and how to make the most of the ride.
The ride starts at a meeting point at the edge of the desert near the Giza Plateau. After a short lesson on the controls you follow the guides over the sand, with the pyramids appearing on the horizon. You stop at viewpoints where the three pyramids line up, and the guides take photos of you with the pyramids behind.
It suits anyone looking for something more active than a coach tour: friends, couples and families with older children. No experience is needed, the bikes are easy to control, and the guides keep a pace that suits the group.
Early morning and the hour before sunset are the best times. The heat is lower, the desert is quieter and the light turns the pyramids gold. In summer, avoid the middle of the day.
The ATV ride stays outside the plateau. To walk among the pyramids, see the Sphinx and visit the Egyptian Museum, book the Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum day tour and ride in the late afternoon. Read our guide to the Giza Pyramids to plan your visit.
