Begin your day as your expert Egyptologist guide meets you at your hotel, and travel together in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.
Egyptian Museum
First, explore this renowned treasure house of ancient Egyptian history, home to thousands of priceless artifacts and spectacular exhibitions showcasing millennia of civilization. Its galleries bring together delicate Old Kingdom statuary, gilded royal furniture, painted sarcophagi, and monumental sculpture, offering an essential introduction to the wonders of ancient Egypt.
Giza Plateau
Next, venture to this legendary plateau on the edge of Cairo, home to the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. This vast royal necropolis brings together three towering pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and a network of temples built for the pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty.
Great Pyramid of Khufu
Marvel at the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, built between 2589 and 2566 BC using 2.6 million limestone blocks and originally standing 144 meters tall. It held the title of the tallest man-made structure on earth for nearly 4,000 years, and its scale is best appreciated standing right at its base.
Pyramid of Khafre
Continue to the second pyramid, which appears even taller at 136 meters due to its position on higher ground. Look closely near the summit and you can still spot fragments of the original polished limestone casing that once covered the entire structure.
Pyramid of Menkaure
Visit the smallest of the three pyramids, beautifully covered with red granite shipped from Aswan along its lower courses. Its more modest scale offers a fascinating contrast to its larger neighbors and hints at how pyramid construction evolved by the end of the Fourth Dynasty.
Valley Temple of Khafre
Step inside this royal mummification facility, built with massive granite pillars and remarkably well preserved. Its cool, cavernous interior offers a rare sense of how these sacred spaces looked and felt in antiquity.
Great Sphinx
Encounter this legendary guardian, carved from a single block of limestone and standing 21 meters high. With the body of a lion and the face of a king, it has watched over the plateau for thousands of years and remains one of the most iconic monuments on earth.
After this extraordinary tour, you’ll board your overnight sleeper train to Aswan.
