Giza Pyramids Complex
Your exploration begins at the Giza Pyramids Complex, where you will visit the Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu.

The Pyramid of Khafre is home to the Great Sphinx, while the Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three but still an impressive sight. Your guide will share fascinating insights about these ancient monuments.
The Great Sphinx of Giza
Standing at the base of the Pyramid of Khafre, the Great Sphinx is one of Egypt’s most iconic monuments. This massive statue, with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh, is believed to represent Khafre. Marvel at its grandeur and hear the story of its creation and significance in ancient Egyptian culture.

This memorable adventure will offer you stunning views of the entire Giza Plateau and provide excellent photo opportunities, allowing you to experience the ancient wonders as travelers might have done thousands of years ago.
Traditional Egyptian Lunch
After your exploration of the pyramids and the Sphinx, it’s time to enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor dishes such as koshari (a flavorful mix of rice, lentils, and pasta), falafel (crispy chickpea fritters), and grilled meats. This meal will offer you a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine and a chance to relax before continuing your adventure.
Egyptian Museum
After lunch, head to the Egyptian Museum, home to an unparalleled collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Discover treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun, including the famous golden mask, jewelry, and other priceless relics.
