Explore the Majestic Pyramids of Giza

Your first stop in Cairo is the Giza Plateau, home to the world’s most iconic monuments: the Great Pyramids of Giza.

These architectural marvels were built over 4,500 years ago, and the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three, remains the only surviving wonder of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World. Your private guide will lead you through the fascinating history behind this colossal structure, revealing the ingenuity and craftsmanship behind its construction.

Next, visit the Pyramid of Khafre, which is smaller but renowned for its well-preserved limestone casing and its proximity to the Great Sphinx. Learn about the myths surrounding its creation and the significance of this pyramid in ancient Egypt’s royal history.

The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, is also part of your visit. Despite its size, it’s a masterpiece of ancient engineering and design. Discover the secrets of Egypt’s royal tombs and burial practices as you explore this historic site.

No visit to the Giza Plateau is complete without marveling at the Great Sphinx—the iconic statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. Your guide will explain the myths, mysteries, and significance of this colossal statue, which has stood for millennia.

Authentic Egyptian Lunch

After exploring the pyramids, indulge in a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant.

Savor authentic Egyptian dishes such as koshari, falafel, moussaka, and stuffed grape leaves. This break provides an opportunity to relax, enjoy the local cuisine, and discuss the historical sites you’ve explored so far.

Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)

In the afternoon, continue your journey to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a modern marvel of architecture and one of the largest and most important archaeological museums in the world. Situated at the base of the Giza Plateau, the museum houses over 100,000 artifacts from Egypt’s ancient past.

One of the museum’s most famous exhibits is the Treasures of Tutankhamun, including the iconic golden mask of the boy king, jewelry, and personal belongings. These treasures were uncovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter and provide an incredible insight into the life and death of one of ancient Egypt’s most mysterious pharaohs.

Explore the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the preserved remains of Egypt’s pharaohs and learn about the ancient Egyptian mummification process. The museum also features galleries that showcase Egypt’s gods and rulers through intricate statues, carvings, and hieroglyphs, providing a fascinating look at Egypt’s ancient religion and culture.

Your Egyptologist guide will share detailed stories and insights as you wander through the museum’s expansive galleries, helping you gain a deeper understanding of Egypt’s cultural and historical significance.
