A journey along the Nile is an unforgettable experience, full of adventures and beautiful sights. It offers a glimpse into the lives of local residents, who use the river for agriculture and transportation. It's not just a way to cross the river, relaxing to the gentle sounds of the Nile, but also an opportunity to learn more about Egyptian culture and history.

The Sphinx in Giza is not just a stone statue; it's a symbol of ancient Egypt, full of mysteries and fascinating facts.

Firstly, its colossal size is striking. The Sphinx is almost 74 meters long and over 20 meters high, making it one of the largest monuments of antiquity.

But it's not just the size that makes the Sphinx remarkable. Its creation remains a mystery to scholars. One of the most popular theories is that it was built during the time of Pharaoh Khafre, around 2500 BC, although the exact date and authorship are still debated.

Visiting the Sphinx is more than just a tour; it's an encounter with history and mysteries that make us wonder and ask questions. It's an integral part of Egypt's cultural heritage and is essential to visit to better understand the secrets of this ancient civilization.

Our tourists will see the three main pyramids of Egypt in Giza as they admire them from the outside.

First and foremost is the Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three and the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Its majestic structure is perfectly preserved, and from its exterior, one can observe various features, including the entrance to the pyramid and its northern face.

Next, tourists will see the Pyramid of Khafre, the second largest. This pyramid differs from Khufu's with steeper angles and some remnants of dark Tura limestone casing, which once covered the entire pyramid.

Finally, the third pyramid is the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three. Its top is unencased, giving it a distinctive appearance. Tourists can marvel at its grand structure and examine the details of its architecture as they stand beside it.
