Facing the majestic Great Pyramid of Keops... it is impossible not to be speechless! With more than 4,500 years of history, it is the largest and oldest pyramid in Egypt.

Stop 3
The enigmatic Pyramid of Kefrén, the second largest in Giza, impressed us. With its top still covered in original limestone, it seems to defy time. We walk around him, explore his interior and feel the force of a pharaoh who still dominates the horizon. Right next door, the towering Sphinx keeps its secrets...

The Pyramid of Mycerinos may be the smallest of the three, but it has a unique charm. Its perfect shape and location at the end of the plateau make it special. We walked near its granite walls, felt the calm of the place and discovered how even the most discreet pharaohs left eternal traces in history.

The panoramic point of Giza is simply magical. From here you can see perfectly the three pyramids aligned with the infinite desert in the background. We get on a camel, feel the Sahara wind in our face and capture photos that look like they’re taken from another world. It's the place where time stands still and history comes alive

Stop 6
The Great Sphinx of Giza, with its eternal gaze and lion body, leaves you speechless. In front of it, one feels the weight of centuries and the mystery of Egyptian civilization. What secrets have you seen happen? He is the silent guardian of the highlands, and being so close to him is like looking into the eyes of the past.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is a trip to the heart of ancient Egypt. From the colossus of Ramesses II to the complete collection of Tutankhamun, every room takes your breath away.
