Here you’ll admire the three mighty pyramids silhouetted against the sand, beginning with the Great Pyramid, built by the pharaoh Khufu over 3,500 years ago. Your guide will explain the stories behind this and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, including how they were constructed and how they looked in ancient times, and take you out into the desert for photo opportunities. Next, you’ll descend to admire the Sphinx, the giant half-human, half-lion monument that’s an icon of Egypt. Finally, you’ll explore an Ancient Egyptian temple, the Valley Temple, most likely built by Khafre, in the days when the River Nile flowed past Giza and this desert gorge was fertile valley. You’ll drive back to your hotel

Amazing experience - My 13 year old daughter and I (female) were met by our guide Amir and driver in the morning for a pick up at the hotel. It was an amazing tour which included all the highlights of pyramid's and the Sphinx. On the spot, we decided to go for a camel ride for a fixed fee of 1000 egp which was exciting. On top of the highlights and the camel ride, we were so lucky with our guide Amir who was kind, trustworthy, helpful and very knowledgeable. Overall, an amazing experience.

Getting it all in... - We only had a short window in which to get in a tour of the Pyramids. We loved that we could choose our start time for the day, giving us plenty of flexibility to meet our other commitments. Our guide, Sam, did a great job capturing all of the fun pictures (holding the pyramid, leaning against it, kissing the Sphinx, etc.) for us to have as memories. Although not originally part of our itinerary, we were able to stop at a papyrus store to learn how the artwork is made.
