- Pyramids of Giza - Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a knowledgeable tour guide.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, located near modern-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one that remains largely intact.
- Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, currently buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, but the site remains unexcavated.
- Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex features a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple revealed several statues of Khafre, some of which were found in a well in the temple’s floor by Mariette in 1860.
- Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple.
- Great Sphinx - The Great Sphinx of Giza, often called the Sphinx of Giza or simply the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with a lion’s body and a human head. Facing directly from west to east, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The Sphinx’s face is generally believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre.
Carved from the bedrock, the original shape of the Sphinx has been restored with layers of blocks. It measures 73 m (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20 m (66 ft) high from the base to the top of the head, and 19 m (62 ft) wide at its rear haunches. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and is widely believed to have been constructed by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during Pharaoh Khafre’s reign (c. 2558–2532 BC).
- Giza Plateau - Enjoy a panoramic view of all the pyramids, the perfect spot for taking photos.
- Panoramic view of the Pyramids - This is the ideal location for capturing the best pictures of all the pyramids, as it is the highest point in the Giza area, offering a panoramic view.
- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Next, visit Sakkara, located just 27 km southwest of Cairo. Explore the Step Pyramid (built for King Zoser), an important part of the pyramid’s evolution from a simple mastaba to its well-known form.
- Step Pyramid of Djoser - Saqqara, or Sakkara, is a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis. Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including Djoser’s step pyramid, built during the Third Dynasty. Another 16 Egyptian kings constructed pyramids at Saqqara, now in various states of preservation or decay. High officials added private funeral monuments to this necropolis throughout the pharaonic period. It remained a significant complex for non-royal burials and cult ceremonies for over 3,000 years, extending into Ptolemaic and Roman times.
The tour concludes with a drop-off at the customer’s hotel.
