What to expect

  1. The Pyramids Of Giza
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Enjoy a fascinating visit to the Pyramids of Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khafre), and Mykerinus (Menkaure), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built during the golden age of Egypt’s Old Kingdom, these iconic monuments represent the pinnacle of ancient engineering and artistry. The pyramid of Khafre and the surrounding complex, constructed by the royal family, are among the greatest achievements in both Egypt’s history and all of human civilization.
  2. Great Sphinx
    1h
    You will also encounter the world-famous Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the most iconic monuments of ancient Egypt. Carved from a single limestone outcrop, this colossal statue combines the body of a lion with the face of a king, symbolizing both physical strength and intellectual power. Believed to have been built to guard the pyramid complex, the Sphinx has stood for thousands of years as a timeless protector of the royal burial site.
  3. Panoramic View of the Pyramids
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Next, enjoy a stop at the panoramic viewpoint of the Giza Plateau, the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking sight of all three pyramids together Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. From here, you’ll have the chance to capture stunning wide-angle photos of the pyramids rising from the desert sands, a view that truly showcases the grandeur of ancient Egypt. For those interested, this is also the ideal location to experience an optional camel ride with the pyramids as your backdrop.
  4. Memphis and Sakkara
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Your tour also includes a visit to Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, founded by King Menes. Serving as the political and cultural heart of the country for over 3,000 years during the Old Kingdom, Memphis played a vital role in shaping ancient Egyptian civilization. At the open-air museum of Mit Rahina, you’ll see remarkable remains from this great city, including the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II, a massive sculpture lying on the ground, as well as another standing statue at the entrance. You’ll also admire the elegant Alabaster Sphinx, along with other fascinating artifacts that highlight the grandeur of Egypt’s earliest capital.
