Giza Pyramids

You’ll have a special experience when visiting the pyramids of Giza. Here you can see the great Pyramids and immerse yourself in the spirit of ancient Egypt.

  • The Great Pyramid of Khufu

Firstly, we’ll stop at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, and marvel at its unbelievable size and awesome design while listening to its exciting history from the tour guide. Then, you have the choice to have a tour inside the pyramid or move to the next monument.

  • The Pyramid of Khufu

Upon arriving at the Giza plateau, you may think that the Pyramid of Khafre is the largest one, but actually it is not true, it is smaller than the Great Pyramid. The illusion of height is due to its construction on higher ground, which makes it appear taller than it truly is.

  • The Pyramid of Menkaure

The last Pyramid belonged to King Menkaure, the son of King Khafre. Although it is the smallest Pyramid in Giza rising to a height of about 65 m. only,  but it is the most refined one.

  • The Valley Temple of King Khafre

Here you’ll learn a lot about the secrets of mummification because the Valley Temple was the place dedicated to the mummification process of the royal body. Valley temples were usually built near the king’s tomb, like this one of King Khafre, which was constructed near his Pyramid.

  • The Sphinx

While visiting the pyramids of Giza, most visitors await this part of the tour to meet one of the most famous statues in the world, “the Sphinx”. It was regarded as a symbolic guardian for the royal necropolis, so it has the head of King Khafre but the body of a lion, symbolizing power and protection.

  • The panoramic viewpoint

Before finishing our Giza Pyramids tour, we’ll move to the panoramic viewpoint. It is the spot where you can see a unique scene of the three Pyramids together, so you can take awesome photos, create vlogs about your adventure in Egypt, or have a professional photo session with your family.

Finally, you can ride horses or camels and buy some souvenirs before moving to the next destination.

A Scenic Nile Cruise

Then you’ll be transferred by a private air-conditioned vehicle to the Nile River bank, where you’ll embark on a Scenic  Nile cruise and enjoy two hours of sailing on the Nile, seeing the magical scenes of the city and its beautiful nature. 

Then you’ll savor an open buffet lunch on the Nile Cairo, and you’ll admire the delicious Egyptian dishes and salads. Also, while having your lunch, you can enjoy the live oriental shows on the board.
