Opting for a flight with EgyptAir or Nile Air makes this journey swift and efficient, ensuring you arrive early in Cairo and make the most of your exploration time.
From the moment you land, you’ll be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide, who will provide fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient history and culture, enriching your experience at every site.

Next, explore the Pyramid of Khafre, distinguished by its limestone cap, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, renowned for its craftsmanship. Each pyramid offers a unique perspective on ancient Egyptian architecture and history.
As you continue your exploration of the Giza Plateau, visit the Great Sphinx, an iconic statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and protection.
This monumental structure is one of the world’s most recognizable ancient symbols. Don’t forget to stop at the panoramic viewpoint for a perfect photo opportunity with all three pyramids in the background.
