• Pyramids of Giza - The tour guide will pick guests up from their hotel to enjoy a day exploring the pyramids. Among Egypt’s top tourist attractions, the Pyramids of Giza are a must-see. These are the three primary pyramids of Egypt, constructed during the 4th Dynasty (around 2550 B.C). In Ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for royalty, a privilege reserved for the Old and Middle Kingdoms.

Today, Egypt boasts over 93 pyramids, with the most renowned located at Giza.

Let’s embark on a tour around the pyramid site to appreciate the area’s grandeur:

• Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - The renowned Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest, tallest, and most well-preserved pyramid in Egypt. It was recognized as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” and remains the only one still standing. For 4,300 years, it was the tallest structure on earth until the Eiffel Tower was erected in 1889.

Khufu’s Pyramid, made entirely of limestone, is an architectural marvel. It comprises approximately 1,300,000 blocks, each weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons. Its square base spans 13 acres, with sides measuring about 230m (755ft). The four sides align precisely with the cardinal points and have an angle of 52 degrees.

• Pyramid of Khafre - The Pyramid of Khafre, or the 2nd Pyramid, is easily identified by the remnants of its original casing stones near the top. Its position on a higher plateau gives the illusion of being taller than the Great Pyramid, though it stands at 136m (446 ft) with sides of 214.5m (704ft), covering 11 acres with a 53-degree angle. Originally 143.5m (471ft) tall, it has lost some height over time.
• Pyramid of Menkaure - Built by Khafre’s son, Menkaure, this is the smallest of the three main pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Initially 65.5m (215ft) tall, it now stands at 62m (203ft), with sides of 105m (344ft) and an angle of 51.3 degrees. It is believed that the pyramid was expanded during construction, resulting in a larger structure than initially planned. The original pyramid featured a simple descending corridor and burial chamber, but with its enlargement, a new corridor with three portcullises and a small paneled chamber was added. Later, an additional burial chamber and storeroom were constructed at a lower level. Like its neighbors, this pyramid has a north-facing entrance.
• Great Sphinx - The Great Sphinx, known to the ancients as “Shesep Ankh” or “the living image,” is one of history’s most iconic structures. The Sphinx is synonymous with Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Carved from soft sandstone, it might have eroded away if not for being buried in sand for extended periods. The body measures 60m (200ft) in length and 20m (65ft) in height. Its face is 4m (13ft) wide, with eyes 2m (6ft) high. Facing the rising sun, it was so revered by the ancients that they constructed a temple in its honor.
• The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - The Egyptian Museum is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and houses the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities. The museum’s extensive collection ranges from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era.

The building’s architect was chosen through an international competition in 1895, the first of its kind, won by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. Inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II, the museum is a historic landmark in downtown Cairo, showcasing some of the world’s most magnificent ancient masterpieces.
