Itinerary
1
Pyramids of Giza
Your Egyptologist meets you at Cairo airport with a private air-conditioned vehicle and a sign showing your name. About 45 minutes to the Giza Plateau. You stand at the base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, hear the actual history, and have time at the panoramic view point. Optional: enter inside the Great Pyramid ($11 USD per person), camel ride along the ridge.
3 hours
2
Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx of Giza, the limestone guardian carved from a single rock outcrop over 4,500 years ago. Your Egyptologist explains its history. Time for photos from the dedicated viewing platform with the Pyramid of Khafre rising behind it.
30 minutes
3
Grand Egyptian Museum
You continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum ever built. Your guide walks you through the soaring atrium past the towering statue of Ramses II, up the Grand Staircase, and into the Tutankhamun galleries where his complete collection is shown together for the very first time in history.
