Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Pyramids of GizaFrom the moment the pyramids rise on the horizon, something within you changes. These are not just stone structures – they are monuments carved into time itself. Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure stand tall, not as mere tombs of kings, but as bold declarations of a civilization that defied the limits of time, space, and imagination.

Stop 2

Great Pyramid of CThis is no ordinary monument – it is the greatest stone structure ever built by man. Constructed over 4,500 years ago without modern machinery or technology, it still stands unshaken. Originally rising to a height of 146 meters, built with more than 2.3 million limestone blocks, it continues to puzzle scientists and engineers today. Standing before it feels like standing at the edge of eternity, in the presence of unmatched genius.heops (Khufu)

Stop 3

The second pyramid of Giza, slightly smaller than Khufu’s, still radiates authority. It’s easily recognized by the remnants of its original limestone casing that still clings to its peak, a rare glimpse into how the pyramids once gleamed in the sunlight. Khafre didn’t just build a pyramid—he placed the mighty Sphinx before it, a silent guardian watching over his eternal rest.

Hop on a camel and get ready for an unforgettable experience… a short 15-minute ride that takes you into the heart of history, across sands that once echoed with the glory of kings and the whispers of ancient gods

Stop 5

Though the smallest of the three, Menkaure’s pyramid is a masterpiece of precision and harmony. Its proportions, craftsmanship, and design reveal the artistic depth of ancient Egyptian architecture. It stands as a reminder that true greatness is not measured in size, but in perfection of detail.

At one of Giza’s elevated viewpoints, you’ll witness a sight beyond words: all three pyramids lined up in breathtaking harmony. It's a scene that stirs something deep within the soul. You don’t just take a photo—you capture a moment that will live with you forever. This is the shot that defines your journey.

Stop 7

Great SphinxWith the body of a lion and the face of a man—believed to be King Khafre—the Sphinx is more than a statue. It is an enigma carved in stone. Towering and majestic, it represents strength, wisdom, and mystery. As you stand beside it, you feel the weight of history pressing in... and the eternal silence whispering questions no one has yet answered.
