All other reliefs and statues were found in fragments, and many buildings of Khufu are lost. Everything known about Khufu comes from inscriptions in his necropolis at Giza and later documents.

This is a greet tour. Mohammed and Philip were super We visited the pyramids had a great lunch with entertainment. They were so helpful and kind to a woman traveling alone also went to the museum. Unforgettable Day
To be honest day did not start well We waited an hour for the last passenger to arrive. Because of a change in start times that hadn't been communicated to the passenger. I would suggest updating your pick up details as this would have had us walking an hour away from the port. After been rectified the rest of the day went really well. Our guide was knowledgeable and humorous. The Pyramids were everything that i had been reading of since a small child
It is a long day from Alexandria Port but so well worth it! It was a bit disorganized at the port trying to find the driver. Driver drove really slow and we were 45 min late so we had to hurry wherever we went. There were 6 of us and we were a bit cramped in the van for that long of distance but the AC worked great! Would have been nice to have some commentary from the port to Giza where our guide met us. The guide Amira was great. Skip the oil store to spend more time at the museum.
Fantastic family experience with our guide Mimo , who gave us a master class in knowledge and attended us exquisitely
