Pyramids of Giza, Giza, Egypt We start by pickup from your hotel, then Our Egyptologist tour guide will take you to The Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx which are among the most iconic and impressive ancient structures in the world. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of the three pyramids and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Pyramid of Khafre is slightly smaller but has a more intact pyramidion, while the Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest but has more complex internal structures. The Sphinx, a giant limestone statue of a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, stands nearby and is believed to have been built during the reign of Khafre. You will marvel at the incredible feats of engineering and construction that allowed the ancient Egyptians to build such monumental structures, and learn about the culture and beliefs of this fascinating civilization. (Entering the pyramids from inside requires an extra ticket). 60 minutes
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), Giza, Egypt The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the most famous and impressive ancient structures in the world. It is located on the Giza Plateau near Cairo, Egypt and is believed to have been constructed as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt.
The pyramid was built using an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks, each weighing between 2 and 80 tons, and is estimated to have taken around 20 years to complete. It originally stood at a height of 146 meters (481 feet), although erosion and the removal of its outer casing stones have reduced its height to around 138 meters (453 feet) today.
The pyramid's internal structure is just as impressive as its exterior. It contains three main chambers: the King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber, and the Subterranean Chamber. The King's Chamber, located in the heart of the pyramid, contains an empty sarcophagus and is thought to have been the final resting place of Khufu's mummified body. 60 minutes
Khafre's Pyramid, Giza, Egypt The Pyramid of Khafre is the second-largest of the three pyramids at the Giza Necropolis in Egypt, and it was built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom period, around 2500 BC. It is located just to the south-west of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three pyramids.
The Pyramid of Khafre was originally 143.5 meters (471 feet) tall, with a base of approximately 215 meters (705 feet) on each side. Today, the pyramid stands at a height of 136 meters (446 feet). It was built using similar construction techniques as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, with large limestone blocks weighing up to 10 tons each.
The interior of the pyramid consists of a descending corridor that leads to an antechamber, a burial chamber, and a subterranean chamber. Unlike the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre still retains some of its original casing stones at the top of the pyramid, which give it a distinctive appearance. 15 minutes
Menkaure Pyramid, Giza, Egypt Pass by The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main pyramids at Giza. It was built for Pharaoh Menkaure during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. It stands approximately 65 meters tall with a base measuring 102 meters on each side. The pyramid was originally covered in smooth Tura limestone, but much of it has been removed over time. Inside, there are three chambers designed to hold the Pharaoh's sarcophagus and funerary equipment. The pyramid was built with granite blocks at its base, which is unique. The complex includes smaller pyramids for Menkaure's queens, a mortuary temple, a causeway, and a valley temple. Visitors can explore the exterior of the pyramid and the complex as part of a guided tour of the Giza Plateau. 15 minutes
Great Sphinx, Giza, Egypt One of the most famous features of the Pyramid of Khafre is the Sphinx, a large limestone statue of a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The Sphinx is located just to the east of the pyramid and is thought to have been built during the reign of Khafre. 30 minutes

This was a last minute adventure as my plans to skydive was canceled. This is a lesson that when things don't go as plan, go with the flow and enjoy what's present. ESLAM my guide made me feel at ease and welcomed me to come back for the skydive, but he was going to ensure the best of my day and he definitely did just that and far more.
This was by far the best last minute adventure I explored. Eslam is very knowledgeable in relating the history of Egypt and he engages you into the tour, not just him talking.
His hospitality was very sincere inwhich he felt more like a friend than someone I just meet. Capture the best moments by photos.
Shout out to the driver who got us safely from spot to spot!
