Pyramids of Giza
The Giza pyramid complex (also called the Giza necropolis) in Egypt is home to the Great Pyramid, the pyramid of Khafre, and the pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between c. 2600 – c. 2500 BC. The site also includes several temples, cemeteries, and the remains of a workers' village.

Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
Marvel at the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Built over 4,500 years ago, this colossal structure stands at 146 meters tall (originally) and was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for millennia. Your guide will explain its intricate construction, astronomical alignment, and the theories behind its purpose.
Optional: If you're feeling adventurous, you may purchase a separate ticket to enter the Great Pyramid's internal chambers.

Great Sphinx
Walk to the base of the Great Sphinx, an enigmatic limestone statue with the body of a lion and head of a pharaoh – believed to represent King Khafre. Nearby, explore the Valley Temple, used in the mummification process. Your guide will bring these ancient rituals to life with vivid storytelling.
Time for Photos: You’ll have time to take iconic panoramic shots, camel photos (optional), and even fun poses like “kissing the Sphinx.”
30 minutes

Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids
Explore the world’s first pyramid, built in the 27th century BC for King Djoser by his brilliant architect, Imhotep. The pyramid was part of a grand funerary complex and is considered a turning point in Egyptian architecture.
Your guide will walk you through:
The surrounding courtyards and temples.
Ancient wall reliefs inside one of the nobles’ tombs (such as the Tomb of Kagemni or Ti).
Stories of how this innovation led to the creation of the true pyramids later at Giza.
This stop is an archaeologist's dream and a less-crowded gem compared to Giza.
