Highlights
  • Giza Plateau - Begins at 8:00 am with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a guide to start your full-day tour. Visit the Giza Pyramids, including the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Then, explore the Valley Temple where the priests mummified King Chephren’s body. Here, you’ll also get a close-up view of The Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren.
  • Great Sphinx - The Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and the head of King Chephren, stands by the vast funeral complex.
  • Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - The only completely preserved portrait of the king is a three-inch high ivory figurine found in a temple ruin at Abydos in 1903. All other reliefs and statues were discovered in fragments, and many of Khufu’s buildings are lost. Information about Khufu comes from inscriptions in his necropolis at Giza and later documents, such as the Westcar Papyrus from the 13th dynasty.
  • 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 found in a well in the temple floor by Mariette in 1860, and others during later excavations by Sieglin (1909–10), Junker, and Reisner.
  • Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex features 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. The mortuary temple also revealed several statues of Menkaure.
  • The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Drive from Giza to Cairo to visit the Egyptian Museum, where you can see the treasures of King Tutankhamen.
  • Old Egypt For Fine Art - Then, drive to Old Cairo to visit the ancient and oldest Christian part of the city. Visit the Hanging Church, Abu Sergha Church, and the Jewish Synagogue of Ben Ezra.

Personalised Tour!!! - Had Hala as our guide, great to have a female guide. Hala was very knowledgeable and gave every opportunity for us to ask questions. She adapted the tour as we requested and never once made us feel that we were takig up too much time. Hala gave us information on all the important things and then gave us time to explore on our own. So glad we had Hala and she is truly a member of the family and we will request her as our guide when we next visit...HALA NO:1
