What to expect

  1. The Pyramids Of Giza
    3h · Admission ticket included
    Explore the majestic Giza Pyramids, including the iconic structures of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Immerse yourself in the historical significance of the Valley Temple, where priests once mummified the remains of King Chephren, the sovereign associated with the second pyramid on the Giza Plateau. This sacred site also offers an opportunity to witness the Sphinx up close—an enigmatic guardian with a lion's body and the head of King Chephren—standing proudly by the vast funeral complex.
  2. The Great Pyramid of Khufu
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The pyramid complex of Khufu comprises a valley temple, currently situated beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Although diabase paving and walls made of nummulitic limestone have been discovered, the site remains unexcavated.
  3. Pyramid Complex of Khafre
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The pyramid complex of Khafre comprises a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the pyramid of the king. Numerous statues of Khafre were discovered in the valley temple, with several located in a well on the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.
  4. Pyramid of Menkaure
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The pyramid complex of Menkaure comprises a valley temple, causeway, mortuary temple, and the pyramid of the king. Originally housing numerous statues of Menkaure, the valley temple saw the addition of a smaller ante-temple during the 5th Dynasty. Additionally, the mortuary temple revealed several statues of Menkaure.
  5. Great Sphinx
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The origins of the Sphinx can be traced back to the era of King Khafre. In the New Kingdom, a fresh temple dedicated to Hauron-Haremakhet was established by Amenhotep II. Subsequent rulers expanded upon this structure over time.
  6. Saqqara Pyramid
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Sakkara, situated just 27 km southwest of Cairo, invites you to explore the Step Pyramid, constructed for King Zoser. This pyramid holds significant importance in the evolution of pyramids, representing the transition from the initial simple mastaba to its well-known and iconic form.
  7. Mit Rahina Museum
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt, is home to the monumental statue of Ramses II and the impressive Alabaster Sphinx. This city traces its origins back to 3100 B.C.
