Egypt Pyramid Tour Packages from USA

The pyramids of Egypt are the single most iconic reason Americans travel to Egypt — and with direct flights from New York and Washington, D.C., plus straightforward visa options for US citizens, getting there is easier than you might think.

Flying to Egypt from the USA

EgyptAir operates direct, nonstop flights from New York (JFK) and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Cairo International Airport (CAI), with a flight time of around 10.5 hours. Travelers from other US cities can connect via Delta, United, or American Airlines through their European or Middle Eastern partners.

Do US Citizens Need a Visa for Egypt?

Yes. American citizens need a visa to enter Egypt, available either as an eVisa arranged online in advance ($25 USD, single-entry, valid 30 days), or a visa on arrival at the airport for the same price.

Why Visit More Than Just Giza?

While the Great Pyramid of Khufu and its companion pyramids at Giza are rightly the highlight of any trip, Egypt is home to over 100 pyramids. Just south of Giza, Saqqara holds the Step Pyramid of Djoser — the world’s oldest monumental stone structure. Nearby, Dahshur offers the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, with a fraction of the crowds.
