Hurghada
Pickup time will be arranged between 12:00 AM and 2:00 AM, depending on your hotel location. The journey from Hurghada to Cairo takes approximately 4-5 hours, including a rest stop along the way.
2
Pyramids of Giza
Witness the last standing Ancient Wonder: the monumental Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Explore this historic site and stand before the colossal, mysterious Great Sphinx.

30 minutes
3
Menkaure Pyramid
The Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinos)
The Granite Gem of the Plateau Though the smallest of the three, Menkaure’s pyramid is an architectural treasure. It is distinguished by the massive blocks of red Aswan granite that still clad its lower levels—a luxury material transported over 800 miles down the Nile.
20 minutes
4
Pyramid of Khafre
The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren)
The Majestic Peak with the Golden Cap Often mistaken for the Great Pyramid because it sits on higher ground, Khafre’s monument is famous for the original white limestone casing that still clings to its summit. This "cap" gives you a rare glimpse into how the pyramids originally sparkled like polished diamonds under the Egyptian sun.

Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops)
The Only Surviving Wonder of the Ancient World Stand before the largest structure of the ancient world, a masterpiece of 2.3 million stone blocks that has dominated the skyline for over 4,500 years. As the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, this pyramid was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for nearly four millennia.
20 minutes

Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx of Giza
The Eternal Guardian of the Horizon Carved from a single massive outcrop of limestone, this legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head of a king (Pharaoh Khafre) is the world’s largest monolithic statue. Facing the rising sun, the Sphinx has watched over the plateau for centuries, holding secrets that archaeologists are still debating today.

Valley Temple of Khafre
The Valley Temple of Khafre
The Gateway to Immortality Before a Pharaoh was laid to rest, he was brought here. This incredibly well-preserved temple, made of polished pink granite and alabaster floors, was the site of the sacred "Opening of the Mouth" ceremony. The precision of the stone-cutting here is so advanced that you cannot even fit a credit card between the massive blocks.
