  4. The Pyramids Of Giza
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    This tour is the time machine where we go back more than 5000 years ago exploring how they live, what they eat, what their dreams and more, such an unbelievable feeling you will get, because you will visit Giza Pyramids which have become nearly equivalent with Egypt itself. Their incredible size continues to impress millions of visitors each year, as they struggle to understand how three kings Cheops, Chephren, & Mikerinos, could have constructed such massive structures so long time ago.

    Regardless of their fame, the Giza Pyramids considered only a short chapter in the long history of Ancient Egypt. All three great pyramids, as well as the Queen’s pyramids next to them, were built during the Old Kingdom 4th dynasty
  5. Great Sphinx
    30m · Admission ticket included
    the most famous monuments of ancient world! These massive stone structures were built around 4,500 years ago on a rocky desert plateau close to the Nile and always amaze visitors30

    The Bent Pyramid, king senfru 2600BC built the southern pyramid, or what we call today the Bent Pyramid, he made a mistake during its construction and he didn’t realize it until the height of the pyramid reached about 48m (with an angle of 54 degrees)! He made a quick decision and changed his design in order to make it safer, When he finished, the pyramid’s angle was just 43 degrees! Today, it is called Bent Pyramid, which was built from local limestone and cased in fine limestone. Its height is about 101m
    The Red Pyramid
    King Senfru's architect was more careful, he made the complete Pyramid in history. This “perfect pyramid” is known as the Northern Pyramid or Red Pyramid,
