Explore the Great Pyramids of Giza, built during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty (circa 2600–2500 BCE) as tombs for pharaohs. The largest, the Great Pyramid, was built for Pharaoh Khufu and held the title of tallest man made structure for over 3,800 years. Nearby are the Pyramids of Khafre (Khufu's son) and Menkaure, completing this iconic trio. Built with over 2 million limestone blocks, these ancient marvels showcase the skill and innovation of the Egyptians and reflect their beliefs in the afterlife.
Next, you'll visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, a remarkable 4th Dynasty structure (circa 2570 BC) made of limestone and granite. Part of Khafre's funerary complex, it was likely used for mummification and purification rituals before the king's burial in the nearby pyramid. With your guide, you'll explore ancient Egyptian ceremonies and traditions, gaining insight into the mortuary practices of the time.
No visit to Egypt is complete without seeing the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza. Built around 2500 BCE during Pharaoh Khafre's reign, it has the body of a lion and the face of a human, likely Khafre himself. This limestone statue has stood for over 4,500 years, guarding the Great Pyramids and symbolizing the power and mystery of ancient Egypt.

Designed by Irish architect Heneghan Peng after a 2003 competition, the museum blends Egypt’s heritage with a modern space for historical exploration.

Explore its terraces and discover how Hatshepsut expanded trade and commissioned monumental projects during her reign.
Visit the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues from 1350 BCE that once guarded the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III of Egypt's 18th Dynasty. Standing about 60 feet tall, they were built from quartzite sandstone transported 420 miles from Gebel el-Silsila.
