The Giza Pyramids, built during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty (2613-2494 BCE), are among the world's most iconic ancient structures. The Great Pyramid, commissioned by Pharaoh Khufu (2589-2566 BCE), was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. Pharaoh Khafre (2558-2532 BCE) built the second pyramid, linked to the Great Sphinx, while Pharaoh Menkaure (2532-2503 BCE) constructed the smaller third pyramid. These royal tombs showcase the engineering skills and spiritual beliefs of ancient Egypt, offering a look into a civilization that thrived over 4,500 years ago.
Continue your family tour with a visit to the Valley Temple of Pharaoh Khafre, built around 2570 BCE during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty. Khafre, son of Pharaoh Khufu and builder of Giza's second-largest pyramid, included this temple in his grand funerary complex. Made from limestone and granite, it was used for mummification rituals to prepare the pharaoh for the afterlife. With expert tour guides, explore the religious practices and beliefs of ancient Egypt during this fascinating era.
Next, you'll visit the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of Egypt's most iconic monuments, built during Pharaoh Khafre's reign (c. 2558–2532 BCE) in the Fourth Dynasty. Carved from a single limestone outcrop, this colossal statue has stood on the Giza Plateau for over 4,500 years. With the body of a lion symbolizing strength and a face thought to depict Khafre, the Sphinx has fascinated historians for millennia. Its first recorded excavation was in 1817 by Captain Giovanni Battista Caviglia, though earlier efforts likely occurred in ancient times. Your tour guide will explain its historical significance, its connection to Khafre's mortuary complex, and the enduring mysteries of its construction and purpose.
Take a break and enjoy a delicious Egyptian lunch full of authentic flavors. As you eat, take in stunning views of Cairo and feel the vibrant energy of the city. A meal with a view you won’t forget!

Upon arrival, you will meet our tour guide and transfer in a private A/C car to visit the Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt's greatest engineering achievements. Built between 1960 and 1970 during Gamal Abdel Nasser's presidency, the dam controls the Nile's flow, prevents floods, and generates hydroelectric power. Its construction, partly funded by the Soviet Union after the U.S. and Britain withdrew support following the 1956 Suez Crisis, symbolizes Egypt's mid 20th century modernization and push for economic independence.
The Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, is a key historical site of ancient Egyptian religion. Built during the Ptolemaic period under Pharaoh Nectanebo I (380–362 BCE), it was later expanded by rulers like Ptolemy II and Emperor Augustus. Originally on Philae Island in the Nile, it was a major center for worship and helped spread Isis’ cult across the Mediterranean. In the 1960s, UNESCO relocated the temple to Agilkia Island to protect it from flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam. Today, its preserved architecture highlights its religious significance and the legacy of the Isis cult.
End your family trip with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, an incredible artifact of ancient Egyptian engineering in a granite quarry near Aswan. Likely commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1479–1458 BCE), this obelisk was meant to be Egypt’s largest, standing over 42 meters tall and weighing 1,200 tons. Its construction was halted due to cracks in the granite, offering valuable insight into New Kingdom (1550–1070 BCE) stone-cutting techniques. This site provides a rare look at the ambitious architectural projects and skilled craftsmanship of ancient Egypt.

After lunch explore the Hanging Church, officially Saint Virgin Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church, one of Egypt’s most important historical landmarks. Originally built in the 3rd century AD during the Roman period and rebuilt in the 7th century, it gets its name from being constructed above the southern gate of the Roman fortress of Babylon, dating back to the 1st century AD under Emperor Trajan. The church’s wooden ceiling, designed to resemble Noah’s Ark, and its intricate decorations showcase Egypt’s rich Christian heritage. Over the centuries, it has been a key center for the Coptic Church, hosting events like the selection of patriarchs.

Over the centuries, the mosque was renovated and expanded by various rulers, including the Abbasids, Fatimids, and Mamluks, highlighting its lasting cultural and religious importance.
The Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo’s Fustat is a historic site dating back to the 9th century. Once a Coptic Christian church, it was sold in 882 CE to Jewish leader Abraham ibn Ezra. Tradition holds it stands near the spot where Pharaoh’s daughter found baby Moses among the Nile reeds.

It remains a symbol of Egypt’s legacy of religious and cultural coexistence.
