Highlights
  • Giza Plateau - Begins at 8:00 am with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by our tour guide. Start your full-day tour of Giza by visiting the Giza Pyramids, including the Great Pyramids of Giza - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Then, visit the Valley Temple, where priests mummified the body of King Chephren, the owner of the second pyramid at Giza. This is also where you can get a close-up view of the Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren. (2.30 hours spent)

  • Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found, but the site has not been excavated.

  • Pyramid of Menkaure - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple.

  • Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre, some of which were found in a well in the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.

  • Great Sphinx - Here, you will also get a close-up view of the Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren.

  • Pyramids of Dahshour - Visit the Dahshur Pyramids (Bent and Red Pyramids). The Dahshur area is a royal necropolis in the desert on the west bank of the Nile, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Cairo. It is known for several pyramids, two of which are among the oldest, largest, and best-preserved in Egypt, built from 2613–2589 BCE. (1 hour spent)

  • Memphis and Sakkara - Continue your tour to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you will see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 B.C. (1 hour spent)

At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

  • Pyramid of Teti - The Pyramid of Teti in Saqqara, Egypt, is an ancient structure built as the final resting place for Pharaoh Teti. It stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of the Old Kingdom and attracts visitors worldwide with its impressive size and historical significance. Explore its chambers and corridors to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt and immerse yourself in its rich history.

This piece features intricate detailing and a striking design, adding a touch of ancient Egyptian elegance to any room. Crafted with quality materials, it is perfect for any collector or history enthusiast. Bring a piece of ancient history into your home with the Pyramid of Unas.
