Thoughtfully arranged galleries unfold both chronologically and thematically, allowing guests to journey through the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian life—from its mighty rulers and intricate social structures to its profound religious traditions and artistic brilliance.

Stop 2

The Pyramids of Giza form an extraordinary complex of ancient monuments located on the Giza Plateau, near modern-day Cairo, Egypt. Constructed more than 4,500 years ago during the Old Kingdom period, these monumental tombs were built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure as eternal resting places and symbols of divine power. Towering above the desert landscape, the pyramids—together with the iconic Great Sphinx—stand as remarkable testaments to the ingenuity, artistry, and spiritual devotion of ancient Egyptian civilization. Today, they continue to captivate scholars and travelers alike, embodying the timeless grandeur of Egypt’s ancient past.

Stop 3

The Great Sphinx of Giza is an immense limestone monument located on the Giza Plateau, just outside Cairo, Egypt. Dating back to around 2500 BCE, it portrays a majestic creature with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, widely thought to represent King Khafre. Stretching 73 meters in length and rising 20 meters high, the Sphinx stands as a powerful symbol of protection, wisdom, and royal authority. Shrouded in mystery and legend, this ancient guardian of the pyramids remains one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of Egypt’s remarkable civilization.
