Explore the Giza Plateau During Your Day Tour from Port Said
Your first destination is the Giza Plateau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has stood for over 4,500 years. This iconic site features the Three Great Pyramids, built as royal tombs during Egypt’s Old Kingdom:
The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops): The oldest and largest of the three, and the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.
The Pyramid of Khafre: Distinguished by its well-preserved limestone casing and its close proximity to the Sphinx.
The Pyramid of Menkaure: The smallest of the trio, yet still an incredible feat of ancient engineering.

Witness the Great Sphinx on Your Day Tour from Port Said to the Pyramids
Adjacent to the Pyramid of Khafre stands the Great Sphinx, a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, believed to represent King Khafre. This enigmatic monument has fascinated travelers for centuries and remains one of Egypt’s most photographed landmarks. Take your time exploring the area, capturing unforgettable moments, and (if desired) entering one of the pyramids (entry tickets available upon request).
