Detailed itinerary

1

Begin your day with a comfortable hotel pickup in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Your personal Egyptologist guide will take you on a journey through thousands of years of history, starting at the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) — one of the world’s largest archaeological museums. You'll explore priceless artifacts, royal mummies, and many other master pieces

the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization. Located near the Giza Pyramids, this ultra-modern complex offers a breathtaking introduction to Ancient Egypt — even before you set foot on the pyramid plateau.

Your visit begins with the awe-inspiring Grand Hall, where you’ll be welcomed by towering statues, including the colossal seated figure of Ramses II. Inside the museum's expansive galleries, you'll explore over 100,000 artifacts, many of which are being displayed for the first time ever.

2

After exploring the Grand Egyptian Museum, your journey continues to the legendary Giza Plateau, home to Egypt’s most iconic monuments.

Stand before the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Khufu, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids — built over 4,500 years ago. Your expert Egyptologist guide will explain the engineering marvels, ancient burial rituals, and theories behind how these massive structures were built with such precision. You’ll also visit the neighboring Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, each with its own fascinating history and unique architectural features.

You’ll have the option to enter one of the pyramids (ticket not included), take photos from panoramic viewpoints, and even enjoy a short camel ride in the desert with the pyramids as your backdrop, if you wish.

Next, walk down to meet the mysterious Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone block. With the body of a lion and the face of a king, the Sphinx has guarded the plateau for millennia.

Stop 3

ravelers will stand before the legendary Great Pyramid of Cheops (also known as Khufu) — the oldest and largest of the three pyramids at Giza, and the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Built around 2580 BC, this colossal structure once stood at 146 meters (480 feet) tall and is composed of over 2 million limestone blocks.

Your Egyptologist guide will reveal the fascinating history, mysteries, and engineering genius behind its construction. You'll learn about the pyramid’s alignment with the stars, its internal chambers, and the role it played in ancient Egyptian religious beliefs.

Travelers will also have the optional opportunity to enter the pyramid (extra ticket required) and explore its narrow interior passageways, for a firsthand glimpse into one of humanity’s greatest architectural achievements.

Stop 4

ocated beside the Great Pyramid, Khafre’s Pyramid is the second-largest on the Giza Plateau and often mistaken as the tallest due to its elevated position and intact limestone cap at the top. Built for Pharaoh Khafre, son of Khufu, this impressive monument reflects the power and architectural mastery of Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty.

Your guide will explain how this pyramid was part of a larger mortuary complex, including a valley temple and the Great Sphinx — which is believed to bear Khafre’s likeness. From its smooth casing stones to its alignment with the sun, Khafre’s Pyramid holds many secrets of ancient engineering and royal symbolism.

Travelers will have the chance to walk around the structure, take stunning panoramic photos, and hear stories that bring the pyramid and its era to life.

Stop 5

he Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main pyramids at Giza, but it holds immense historical and symbolic importance. Built for Pharaoh Menkaure, the grandson of Khufu, this pyramid stands at about 65 meters (213 feet) tall and is known for its elegant proportions and unique construction materials.

Unlike the larger pyramids, Menkaure’s structure features granite casing blocks at its base, offering a striking visual contrast. Despite its smaller size, the pyramid is a masterpiece of precision and design, and its interior chambers were built with the same care and purpose as its larger neighbors.

Visitors will learn about Menkaure’s reign, his contributions to Egypt’s legacy, and how his pyramid complex once included three smaller “queen’s pyramids” nearby. It’s a peaceful and less crowded spot that offers excellent photo opportunities and insight into the evolution of pyramid building.

6

No visit to the Giza Plateau is complete without stopping at the famous panoramic viewpoint, where travelers can take in all three Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure together in one breathtaking scene. Located in the desert behind the pyramids, this elevated spot offers the perfect angle for wide-angle photos, group shots, and unforgettable camel ride experiences.

Your guide will help you find the best photo angles, share insights about the alignment and scale of the pyramids, and give you time to soak in the majestic desert landscape. It’s a peaceful and inspiring moment to reflect on the ancient world — with a view that truly captures the scale and mystery of the Giza Pyramids.

Stop 7

At the edge of the Giza Plateau stands the mysterious and majestic Great Sphinx, one of the most iconic monuments in Egypt. Carved from a single limestone outcrop, this colossal statue measures 73 meters (240 feet) long and features the body of a lion with the head of a pharaoh — believed to represent King Khafre.

As you stand before the Sphinx, your Egyptologist guide will share the fascinating legends, theories, and unanswered questions that surround this ancient guardian. Was it a symbol of royal power, a religious figure, or something more? The Sphinx has inspired wonder for centuries.

You'll have time to explore the surrounding area, take stunning photos, and view the Valley Temple of Khafre nearby — where rituals for the king's afterlife were once performed.

8

After exploring the awe-inspiring Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids of Giza, and the Sphinx, get ready for an exhilarating ATV ride across the Giza desert. This thrilling adventure takes you on a 1-hour ride through the vast, golden sands, offering breathtaking views of the pyramids from a unique desert perspective. It’s the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the region while adding a burst of excitement to your day. Our experienced guides ensure a safe, fun ride, whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider. This ATV ride is the highlight of the tour, combining history with adventure in a way you’ll never forget!
