An outstanding Egypt tour will feature The Pyramids of Giza
as a must-go place, which were built around 2600 BC in the time of the great king Khufu and stand as the gate to supernatural beings. First, you'll get to see The Great Pyramid of Giza. It was initially built to serve as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, who held the throne from 2609 to 2584 BC.
Equally prominent to them were The Great Sphinx
of Giza that, as a quiet sentinel on the pyramids, shares with them the mysterious aspect of the desert and has a combination of a human head and a lion body. It was chiseled out of a giant block of limestone. The monument's weight reaches 73 meters long, 19 meters wide, and 20 meters high.
Also, during the visit to the Pyramids, there will be the chance to see The Valley Temple, southern at the foot of the Sphinx, which was erected to ensure the elixir of life flowed through all his royal members during the mummification process.
Later, after the Pyramids of Giza, you’re going to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is an exhibition of Egypt’s ancient history and the most significant archeological museum in the world. The museum contains about 100,000 artifacts and memorials.

in Saqqara, which describes the evolution of the pyramids of Egypt from mastabas to limestone palettes.

Next, you will continue to the second stop, The Unfinished Obelisk, while in the Aswan stone quarries. It is the largest obelisk ever expected to be, with a length of 42 meters and a weight of around 1100 tons. Due to a small blunder, The Unfinished Obelisk never rose from a horizontal position and remains in its associated locality.
In the end, you will be taken to The Philae Temple, near Aswan, where the temple of the goddess Isis originally stood. Between 380 and 362 BC, which is the Ptolemaic era, you will be given the exciting story of Isis and Osiris.
