Detailed itinerary

1

Your tour begins at a stunning viewpoint where all three pyramids — Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure — stand perfectly aligned. This is the best spot for wide-angle photos and to appreciate how the pyramids were positioned according to celestial and religious beliefs. Your guide will explain how the ancient Egyptians aligned these monuments with Orion’s Belt and the rising sun, reflecting their vision of eternity.

2
Stop 2

Though modest in height, Menkaure’s Pyramid stands out for its elegance and craftsmanship. Once adorned with polished red granite at its base, it represents a more artistic and refined architectural style during the late pyramid age. Its intimate scale allows for a closer understanding of royal funerary architecture.

3
Stop 3

Slightly smaller than Khufu’s but rising from a higher base, Khafre’s Pyramid appears almost equal in size. You’ll also notice the famous original white limestone casing still crowning its peak — a rare glimpse of how the pyramids once shone brilliantly under the desert sun.

4
Stop 4

Step up to the largest and oldest of the Three Pyramids — the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Built over 4,500 years ago with more than 2 million massive limestone blocks, it still amazes with its precision and scale. Learn about the incredible engineering and sacred symbolism behind Khufu’s monumental legacy.

5

Visit one of the best-preserved temple structures in Egypt, originally used for the mummification and purification of the king. Built from massive limestone and granite blocks, the temple provides a rare, tangible link to the sacred funeral rituals of ancient royalty.

6
Stop 6

Stand before the mysterious guardian of the Giza Plateau — a colossal statue combining a lion’s body with the face of a pharaoh. Believed to represent Khafre, the Sphinx symbolizes strength, wisdom, and eternal protection. Your guide will share the myths, legends, and scientific theories surrounding its construction and purpose.

7

Next, you’ll explore the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world, designed to showcase the full story of ancient Egypt in a modern and immersive way. As you walk through its impressive halls, your guide will introduce you to towering royal statues, beautifully crafted artifacts, and breathtaking monuments that once adorned temples and palaces. One of the most remarkable highlights of your visit will be the complete treasure collection of King Tutankhamun, displayed together for the first time since its discovery — including his iconic golden mask, jewelry, chests, ceremonial items, and everyday belongings that offer a rare glimpse into the life of the boy king. The museum’s carefully curated galleries create a vivid journey through Egypt’s pharaonic timelines, revealing how art, culture, religion, and daily life evolved across thousands of years. This guided experience is designed not just to show you history, but to make you feel connected to it.

8

Choose Your Perfect Ending:

1-Sunset Felucca on the Nile:
Let the day close in the most magical way — sailing the Nile aboard a traditional felucca. Feel the soft breeze, watch Cairo’s skyline shimmer in the fading light, and enjoy a moment of pure Egyptian tranquility.

2-Khan El Khalili Bazaar Experience:
Step into a living storybook of Old Cairo. Wander through winding alleys filled with glowing lanterns, rich spices, handcrafted jewelry, and treasures you won’t find anywhere else. It’s the perfect place to shop, sip tea, and soak in centuries of tradition.
