Stop 1

The Pyramids of Giza, located on the Giza Plateau just outside Cairo, Egypt, form a remarkable group of ancient monuments that have become synonymous with the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization. These iconic structures, built as elaborate tombs for the Pharaohs, have endured through the centuries as a testament to Egypt's architectural and cultural achievements. Among the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramids are the only ones that still stand today, continuing to awe and inspire visitors from around the globe.

The Great Sphinx of Giza, carved from limestone, sits proudly on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile, near Cairo, Egypt. It holds the distinction of being the largest and oldest known monumental sculpture ever created, symbolizing the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization. With its enigmatic face and lion's body, the Sphinx remains one of the most enduring and iconic images from ancient Egypt, captivating people worldwide for millennia.

One of the main highlights is the full collection from Tutankhamun's tomb, featuring over 5,000 items—including jewelry, gilded artifacts, and chariots—on display together for the first time.

Other key treasures include the solar barque of Khufu, the Pharaoh behind the Great Pyramid, and monumental statues of Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great.
