The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact
The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or just the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature that comprises a lion’s body with a pharaoh’s head.[1] Facing directly from West to East, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the pharaoh Khafre
Menkaure's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king's pyramid. The valley temple once contained several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added on to the valley temple
Khafre's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860
Khufu's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found but the site has not been excavated
The Giza Plateau is a limestone plateau in Giza, Egypt, the site of the Fourth Dynasty Giza pyramid complex, which includes the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers' village and an industrial complex. It forms the northernmost part of the 16,000 ha Pyramid Fields in the Western Desert edge of the Nile Valley that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Memphis and its Necropolis. The plateau is elevated approximately 60 meters above sea-level.

Brilliant Day out, Mohamed was excellent guided us all day, great knowledge and very helpful. An experience for the memory book.
It's hot in that place. And you have to walk a lot. The important thing is to be in good physical condition...
We booked this private tour for our group of 10 to see the pyramids and it was a good decision especially with out guide being Ahmed Hamdy. He paced the trip according to our needs, explained everything very nicely and helped take great pictures as well. We also took the additional option of going inside the Great Pyramid (900 EGP per adult, 450 EGP for Child/Students with ID card). Ahmed had given us an unbiased recommendation of not taking it for a good reason, but we did. While we did not regret it (it's a different feeling being inside the main chamber of the Great Pyramid), we fully understood the difficulty of getting inside only when we went in. There was already a very long queue outside, then a tunnel like walkway of 50 -60 metres and then an extremely small (probably 4 feet height by 4 feet wide) wooden inclined ramp (without steps, only some slats 2 feet apart to hold feet) for about 30 metres. Think of stairs with a height of about 70 steps on angle of 45 degrees. And there are people going and coming at the same time. IT IS INDEED VERY CLAUSTROPHOBIC and HOT. Would still recommend if you have the nerves to do it. The flip side was that we spent less time at the Sphinx. We also took the Camel Ride with the Panaroma where you can take pictures on the Camel with the 3 pyramids in the background. This was also a good experience. Would suggest this even if you have done Camel rides elsewhere and would recommend this isntead of the horse carriage. Both are priced the same. The Camel handlers have become super good at taking pictures, so just go with the flow (they make you do funny poses indeed 😉)
Great excursion. Hazem was a really nice guide. Also very good at taking pictures! He took us to the more quiet places which we really enjoyed.
It was a great tour and our tour guide gave details about the City's history and all the details about Pyramids. He also took many pics for us and avoided hagglers. Then we were taken to Oil/Perfume shop as our last stop, before dropping us back.
Great trip and the staff were professional and friendly and highly knowledgeable. Was very comfortable specially with a one year old toddler
It was a last minute booking and I am so lucky to find such a great tour company with very competitive price in private new brand vehicle and our tour guide tamer was amazing full of knowledgeable and polite I highly recommend them
