This UNESCO World Heritage Site remains one of the most photographed monuments on earth and a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers worldwide.
Continue your pyramid tour with a visit to the Pyramid of Khafre, which appears taller than Khufu’s pyramid due to its elevated position on the plateau and retained limestone casing at its peak. Then discover the Pyramid of Menkaure, built by King Khufu’s grandson( Menkaure ), featuring a distinctive granite-covered base and three smaller queens’ pyramids designated for royal family members.
Your Egyptologist guide will lead you to the remarkably preserved Valley Temple of King Khafre, a stunning 41-square-meter granite structure constructed from massive Aswan granite blocks transported over 1,000 kilometers along the Nile River. This sacred site served a crucial role in the ancient Egyptian mummification process during the Old Kingdom period. Witness the remnants of the ancient causeway that once connected the valley temple to the pyramid complex.
Marvel at the legendary Great Sphinx of Giza, one of Egypt’s most mysterious and recognizable monuments. Carved from a single massive limestone block, this mythical creature with a lion’s body and human head is believed to represent King Khafre himself, eternally guarding the royal necropolis.
Recharge with a delicious lunch at a prestigious local restaurant, where you can savor authentic Egyptian cuisine while reflecting on the ancient wonders you’ve witnessed.
