Itinerary
As you arrive at the Giza Plateau, located on the outskirts of Cairo, you'll be greeted by the iconic pyramids rising majestically against the backdrop of the desert. The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids. It stands as a testament to the incredible engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. You can't help but marvel at its grandeur and the sheer scale of its construction. Next to the Great Pyramid, you'll find the Pyramid of Khafre, which appears slightly smaller but is still an impressive structure. The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, completes the trio. Each pyramid served as a tomb for a pharaoh and was built with precise mathematical calculations aligned to the cardinal points.
One of the museum's most famous exhibits is the Tutankhamun collection, which showcases the tomb artifacts of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun, including his golden mask, chariots, and funerary treasures. The level of craftsmanship and the intricate details preserved in these artifacts offer a glimpse into the opulence and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. As you explore the museum's halls, you'll also encounter mummies of ancient Egyptian royalty, ancient papyrus scrolls, and a multitude of artifacts from various periods of Egyptian history. The museum provides a captivating opportunity to delve into the rich tapestry of Egyptian civilization and gain a deeper understanding of its cultural and historical significance. By the end of your visit, you'll have witnessed the wonder of the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, and delved into the depths of Egypt's past at the Egyptian Museum. These experiences will leave you with a profound appreciation.

About Aswan
Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.
The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
