Giza Pyramids Complex
This place was like a time capsule that preserved the essence of the Ancient Egyptians for 4000 years. The Giza complex is surrounded by three large, the most grandiose, pyramids and six little ones, with the grand sphinx and the valley temple.
The Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 2580 BC near Giza, Egypt, features a sandy-gold hue and stands at 147 meters (481 feet). Constructed over 15 years with 2.3 million limestone blocks, it is the only surviving wonder of the original seven. Designed by the architect Hemon, it includes notable inner spaces like the King's and Queen's Chambers. The true origin of this remarkable pyramid remains a mystery.
The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx, known as "Horus, the Earth-Touching," stood in Giza during King Khafre's reign (2558–2532 B.C.). It features a lion's body and a human face, symbolizing strength and intelligence, earning it the title "Timeless One."
The Valley Temple
A Valley Temple is one such type of building situated in a river or stream valley.
The mummification process to achieve eternal life, more appropriately known today as the opening of the mouth ritual, was a ritual focused on life's eternal core. It was built during the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686 - 2134 BC) when it was included among the constructions of King Khafre. The valley is in perfect shape and provides incredible information about how the Ancient Egyptians buried their dead.
Lunch Time
The meal will be served at a 5-stars local restaurant, followed by a visit to the grand Egyptian museum.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
This is one of the most significant achievements of ancient Egypt, which became possible through what, each time and over several new generations, had a fresh perspective on it thanks to constant inspiration from the things of this civilization.
The text presents three fundamentally different archaeological complexes: the Hanging Obelisk, King Ramses II Statue, the 10 Statues of King Senusert, the Grand Staircase, and the Statues of Ptolemaic Monarchs. It also details the Victory Column of King Mercnptah, the Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.
In addition, a VIP ticket is possible, which, if acquired, will allow you admission to unique attractions. Contact us for more information!
Finally, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
