Itinerary
Panoramic Viewpoint – Capture unforgettable photos of all three pyramids. Great Pyramid of Khufu – Explore the largest of the pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure – Learn the fascinating stories behind these monumental structures. The Great Sphinx – Witness the enigmatic half-human, half-lion statue guarding the plateau. The Valley Temple – Visit the ancient temple believed to be used for mummification rituals.
A stunning panoramic spot where you can see all three pyramids aligned — perfect for unforgettable photos.
Menkaure’s Pyramid, the smallest of the three main pyramids at Giza, may be modest in size but not in significance. Built for Pharaoh Menkaure, it reflects a more refined architectural style and once had a stunning granite casing at its base. Its proportions and elegance give it a unique charm, offering a beautiful contrast to the massive scale of the other pyramids. Standing before it, you can truly appreciate the craftsmanship and symbolic power of ancient Egyptian royalty.
Khafre’s Pyramid stands out with its preserved limestone cap and powerful presence. It’s slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid but appears taller due to its elevated base.
The Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids of Giza — and the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Built over 4,500 years ago using more than 2 million limestone blocks, it’s a masterpiece of engineering and ancient ambition. Standing at 146 meters when it was first completed, it held the record as the tallest human-made structure for over 3,800 years. A true marvel that leaves every visitor speechless.
The Valley Temple of Khafre is an ancient mortuary temple where the mummification process is believed to have taken place. Made of massive limestone and granite blocks, this well-preserved structure once connected to the Pyramid of Khafre and the Sphinx. Walking through its halls, you can almost feel the sacred rituals that took place here over 4,500 years ago.
The Great Sphinx of Giza, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, is one of the most iconic monuments in the world. Carved from a single block of limestone, it stands guard over the Giza Plateau. Thought to represent Pharaoh Khafre, the Sphinx symbolizes strength, wisdom, and royal power. Its mysterious expression and enormous size — 73 meters long — continue to fascinate visitors and scholars alike.
Enjoy a guided tour of the world’s largest archaeological museum. Marvel at the full collection of King Tutankhamun's treasures and thousands of other artifacts. Learn about Egypt's ancient history in a modern, immersive environment.

Had a very wonderful experience. Our guide was great! Also shared great time with my son! We all enjoyed ourselves
My experience was phenomenal. Our tour guide planned the perfect day for the 5 of us starting with the pyramids followed by the sphinx and grand museum. He provided us a lot of historical information for every piece we saw at the pyramids and museum. He also took us to a great lunch spot where we all had an authentic egyptian dish called Koshari. Lastly, we couldn’t have done it without our driver who navigated the busy streets perfectly. 10/10 experience and would highly recommend.
Waleed was the best! Super knowledgeable and personable, made our entire trip! No hiccups, kept the sellers off our backs, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Wonderful experience with multiple stops along the way. It only just started with touring the Pyramids and Sphinx. We then saw the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum, ate traditional lunch, and ended the night with a boat ride. Our tour guide Waleed was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and professional. No hiccups whatsoever, everything was very smooth. Highly recommend this to anyone. Our driver was phenomenal too!
I had this tour with Muhammed Waheed as my guide and Mohsen as my driver. Muhammed was very professional and extremely knowledgeable on the intricacies of Egyptology and detailed histories of every section of this tour. Mohsen was an amazing driver, always blowing cold AC and plenty of water. This tour is a must do for your next trip to Egypt and I recommend you request Muhammed and Mohsen!
I had an excellent time on this tour. My tour guide, Mohamed Galal was excellent. He is super knowledgeable about ancient Egypt and is very engaging and interested.
Had a fantastic experience. Mohammed Galal was an excellent guide. Would 100% recommend.
Mohamed Galal has been an excellent guide, full of knowledge and experience. The day to the Pyramids, Sphinx, Museum, traditional Egyptian lunch and more had been a truly amazing, once in a life time experience. The day was made perfect with Mohamed as our guide.
Excellent experience and translation
I booked a all inclusive tour in Cairo with Waleed and honestly, I loved it. He’s super knowledgeable, explains things clearly, and doesn’t rush. Initially I wanted to check out the bazaar, but he suggested a felucca ride instead, and I went with it. And it turned out to be a highlight. He was kind, considerate, and gave me space. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and well looked after. I’d happily book with him again. 😊
