What to Expect On Your Guided Tour

For travelers seeking to experience some of the world's oldest wonders, a trip to Cairo is essential! Explore the iconic Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza on a half-day guided tour complete with round-trip hotel transfers.

A remarkable collection of Ancient Egyptian pyramids, tombs, and the monumental Sphinx stands as a lasting tribute to lost civilizations on the western bank of the Nile River at Giza. The Great Pyramid is arguably one of its most alluring attractions. Built in the 26th century BCE for Pharaoh Khufu's tomb, it remains captivating even today with engineers and scholars still debating over how exactly this ancient marvel was constructed. Alongside are two additional impressive pyramids belonging to Khafre and Menkaure respectively along with many other lesser structures that together form an arresting necropolis.

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a monumental piece that stands as an icon in Egypt, its colossal form is composed of a human face and a lion-like figure. Most scholars agree that it was constructed by the ancient Egyptians to guard Khafre’s final resting place against potential invaders. To conclude your exploration, head to the Valley Temple where King Chephren's body was expertly and ceremoniously embalmed.
