The Pyramids Of Giza
2m · Admission ticket included
This morning, you’ll meet your guide in the hotel lobby and set off for the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Explore the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the only one still largely intact.

Panoramic View of the Pyramids
1h
At the start of your tour, you’ll pause at a stunning vantage point where all three Giza pyramids line up perfectly on the horizon. This spot isn’t just ideal for photos—it offers a symbolic glimpse into the majesty of ancient Egypt, with each pyramid representing a chapter in a dynastic story that spans generations.
-
Pyramid of Menkaure
30m
The smallest of the three pyramids, yet full of character, was built for Pharaoh Menkaure and originally stood about 65 meters high. Its lower layers were crafted from red granite sourced from Aswan—a material that reflects both artistry and royal symbolism. Surrounding Menkaure’s pyramid are the Queen’s pyramids and a mortuary temple, offering a glimpse into the funerary practices and family structure of the era.
-
Pyramid Complex of Khafre
30m
Slightly smaller than Khufu’s pyramid, yet its elevated foundation often creates the illusion of greater height when viewed from certain angles. Remarkably, this structure still retains portions of its original casing stones near the apex, providing a rare glimpse into the smooth, polished finish that once characterized its exterior.
-
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
30m
Standing before the Great Pyramid—constructed by Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) in the 25th century BCE—you witness one of humanity’s most extraordinary architectural achievements. Originally rising to nearly 147 meters, this monumental structure was built from approximately 2.3 million limestone and granite blocks and aligned with remarkable precision to the four cardinal points. Within its interior lies a complex network of chambers and passages, including the King’s Chamber, entirely fashioned from granite, and the Grand Gallery, a testament to the ingenuity of ancient engineers. Modern scientific research continues to uncover its mysteries; recent cosmic-ray muon scans have revealed a substantial, previously unknown void within the pyramid.
-
Valley Temple of Khafre
30m
Constructed from massive limestone and red-pink granite blocks—some weighing over 100 tons—the Valley Temple stands as a remarkable feat of ancient architecture. Its interior once featured alabaster flooring and walls adorned with statues of Khafre. In antiquity, the temple served a highly ritualistic purpose: the mummified body of Khafre would arrive here, likely via a canal, to undergo purification and preparation for the afterlife. The precision of its masonry, the use of colossal monolithic blocks, and its ceremonial function collectively exemplify the sophistication of Old Kingdom engineering and religious practice.
-
Great Sphinx
30m
This iconic limestone monument, featuring the body of a lion and the face of a king, ranks among the most renowned structures in the world. Believed to have been carved during the reign of Khafre, the Sphinx is thought to represent the pharaoh himself, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and divine guardianship over the Giza Plateau. Measuring approximately 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height, the statue has endured centuries of erosion and damage—its missing nose remains a subject of debate—yet it continues to stand as a powerful emblem of ancient Egypt’s spiritual and royal authority.

Gran Museu Egipci
3h · Admission ticket included
This cutting-edge museum stands as the world’s largest institution dedicated to a single civilization, housing tens of thousands of artifacts that span more than 7,000 years of Egyptian history. Among its most celebrated highlights are the Tutankhamun Halls, which display the complete treasure collection of King Tut—approximately 5,398 objects. The museum’s architectural design is equally impressive, with galleries organized both chronologically—covering the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, and Greco-Roman periods—and thematically, focusing on Royalty, Society, and Beliefs. Dominating the grand atrium is the colossal 83-ton statue of Ramses II, serving as a striking centerpiece that connects visitors directly to Egypt’s pharaonic legacy.
