Giza pyramids
The tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo, taking you to the Giza Plateau to explore the majestic Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. After marveling at these ancient wonders, you'll visit the iconic Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, believed to date back to the reign of Chephren. The tour also includes a stop at the Valley Temple, which is part of the Pyramid complex of Chephren. This temple served two key purposes: it was used to purify the king's mummy before burial and played a crucial role in the mummification process.

Menkaure Pyramid
Your tour continues to the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three main pyramids at the Giza Plateau. Though more modest in size, it stands out for its refined construction and granite casing at the base.
