2. The most iconic panoramic views of the Pyramids are found within the Giza Plateau, where several elevated desert ridges allow you to see all three major pyramids—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—lined up in a single, breathtaking frame.

   20 minAdmission included

3. The Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three main pyramids in the Giza complex. Built around 2560 BCE as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Khufu, it stood as the world's tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years.

   20 minAdmission included

4. The Pyramid of Khafre (also known as the Pyramid of Chephren) is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza. Built for Pharaoh Khafre around 2570 BCE, it is often mistaken for the Great Pyramid because it sits on a higher pedestal of bedrock, making it appear taller.

   20 minAdmission included

5. The Pyramid of Menkaure (also spelled Mykerinos) is the smallest of the three main pyramids of Giza, but it is often considered the most architecturally complex. Built for the Pharaoh Menkaure around 2510 BCE, it stands as a unique monument to the transition of the Old Kingdom.

   20 minAdmission included

6. The Valley Temple of Khafre is one of the most remarkably well-preserved buildings from Egypt’s Old Kingdom (c. 2570 BCE). Located just a few steps from the Great Sphinx, it served as the grand entrance to Pharaoh Khafre’s funerary complex.

   30 minAdmission included

7. The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world's most iconic monuments, carved directly from a single ridge of limestone on the Giza Plateau. Representing a reclining lion with a human head—widely believed to be Pharaoh Khafre—it has stood guard over the necropolis for over 4,500 years.

   20 minAdmission included

8. The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is now fully open to the public, having celebrated its official inauguration on November 1, 2025. As of April 2026, visitors have complete access to the world’s largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilization, including the long-awaited King Tutankhamun galleries

   2 hAdmission included

9. Step away from the city’s roar and into the gentle rhythm of the Nile. Our traditional Felucca rides offer a 'slow-motion' escape where the only engine is the wind and the only sound is the water against the wood. Whether it’s a romantic date under the Cairo skyline or a quiet moment of reflection, this is the Nile exactly as it has been experienced for thousands of years. Unplug, unwind, and watch the sun paint the city in gold."

   1 h

10. Khan el-Khalili is a legendary open-air bazaar in the heart of Islamic Cairo and one of the oldest commercial hubs in the world. Established in 1382, this sprawling market is a sensory overload of narrow medieval alleys, aromatic spices, and centuries-old craftsmanship.

About Giza

Giza, on the edge of Cairo, is home to the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx and a desert plateau that has drawn travellers for thousands of years.

The plateau holds three great pyramids, built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, along with smaller queens' pyramids and rows of nobles' tombs. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, and the Great Sphinx keeps watch below, carved from the bedrock beside Khafre's valley temple.
