Start your unforgettable adventure with a hotel pick-up from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza at 8:00 AM. Your expert Egyptologist tour guide will take you on a fascinating journey through the ancient wonders of Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), Pyramid of Mykerinus (Menkaure), and the iconic Great Sphinx.

Your first stop is the Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. This monumental structure, built around 2560 BC for Pharaoh Khufu, is the last surviving of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Standing at 146.5 meters (481 feet) tall, the Great Pyramid remained the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. Although the pyramid’s smooth limestone casing has mostly eroded, its massive core structure still stands. You can explore its interior, including the burial chamber of King Khufu (additional entry fee applies). Marvel at the intricate engineering and awe-inspiring scale of this ancient masterpiece.

Next, visit the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest pyramid at Giza, built for Pharaoh Khafre, the son of Khufu. The Pyramid of Chephren is slightly shorter than the Great Pyramid but appears taller due to its elevated position and the intact casing stones near the top. The pyramid complex includes the Valley Temple, which was used for the Pharaoh’s mortuary rituals. The Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Khafre, stands majestically nearby. The Sphinx is an iconic symbol of ancient Egypt, guarding the pyramids with its timeless gaze. You will also have the opportunity to take a camel ride through the desert, offering a stunning view of the pyramids and the Sphinx in the background.

Continue your journey with a visit to the Pyramid of Mykerinus, the smallest of the three pyramids, but no less significant. This pyramid was built for Pharaoh Mykerinus (Menkaure), and it stands at 65 meters (213 feet) tall. While it is smaller than the other two pyramids, it remains an impressive structure and an essential part of the Giza Necropolis. Explore the pyramid’s ruins and learn more about its construction, which was carried out during the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt.

After exploring the pyramids individually, you’ll head to a designated panoramic viewpoint, where you can capture breathtaking photos of all three pyramids set against the backdrop of the Egyptian desert. This vantage point provides the perfect opportunity for a memorable snapshot of the Giza Pyramids complex.

To add a unique touch to your visit, enjoy a camel ride through the desert. As you ride along the sands of Giza, you’ll get up close to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx, experiencing the ancient wonder of Egypt in a way that’s truly authentic.

After your memorable day of exploring the ancient wonders of Egypt, your private tour concludes with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza, where you can reflect on the incredible history you’ve just experienced.
