Detailed itinerary

The Giza Plateau is home to Egypt’s most iconic ancient treasures—the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, along with the legendary Great Sphinx. Located just outside Cairo, this vast desert landscape has stood as a symbol of ancient power and mystery for over 4,500 years. Visitors can walk among these world-famous monuments, explore ancient tombs, and enjoy panoramic views of the entire plateau. A camel ride across the golden sands adds to the magic, making the Giza Plateau a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Egypt's rich history.

Stop 2

The Great Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids at Giza. Built over 4,500 years ago, it originally stood at 146 meters (480 feet) and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. This ancient wonder is the only surviving member of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Constructed with over 2 million limestone blocks, the pyramid is a masterpiece of ancient engineering and precision. Visitors can marvel at its scale, explore its interior chambers (with a special ticket), and stand in awe of a monument that has defied time. Located just outside Cairo, it remains one of Egypt’s most iconic and mysterious attractions.

Enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the Giza Pyramids—where the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure stand proudly against the desert skyline. From this stunning vantage point, you can see all three pyramids and the iconic Sphinx in one unforgettable scene. This is also the perfect spot for a memorable camel ride through the golden sands, offering unique photo opportunities and a true taste of desert adventure. Capture the magic of ancient Egypt while riding like the locals once did—right beside history.

Stop 4

The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world’s most iconic monuments—a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, believed to represent King Khafre. Measuring 73 meters long and 20 meters high, the Sphinx has stood guard over the Giza Plateau for more than 4,500 years. Carved from a single piece of bedrock, it embodies the mystery and majesty of ancient Egypt. Visitors can view this enigmatic guardian up close and imagine the secrets it has watched unfold across the millennia.
