Itinerary

1. Embark on an unforgettable private tour to the last standing wonder of the ancient world—the Great Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx!

Enjoy skip-the-line access (entry inside the pyramids requires an additional ticket) and soak in the awe-inspiring views.

   2 h

2. The Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), the largest pyramid in Giza, stands as a breathtaking testament to ancient Egypt’s engineering genius. Soaring 146.6 meters (481 feet), it held the record as the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years! Built as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, this UNESCO-listed marvel showcases precision-cut limestone blocks and was once covered in a polished white casing, gleaming under the desert sun.

3. Khafre’s Pyramid, the second-largest pyramid at Giza, stands proudly at 143.5 meters (471 feet)—built for Pharaoh Khafre, son of the great Khufu. Though slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid of Cheops, its elevated position and remaining limestone casing make it appear even more imposing. This UNESCO-listed wonder showcases ancient Egypt’s architectural mastery, with a complex inner structure leading to a grand burial chamber (though most treasures have been lost to time).

4. Though the smallest of the Giza Pyramids (standing at 65 meters / 213 feet), the Pyramid of Menkaure is no less awe-inspiring! Built for Pharaoh Menkaure, grandson of Khufu, this UNESCO-listed wonder showcases ancient Egypt’s refined craftsmanship, with its original polished limestone casing and striking granite base.

5. Experience Egypt's most breathtaking scene - the unforgettable panoramic view where all three Great Pyramids of Giza (Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure) stand majestically against the golden desert landscape. This must-see vantage point reveals their perfect alignment and awe-inspiring scale, showcasing why they're the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World.

   1 h

6. Behold the Great Sphinx of Giza—the world’s most iconic monument and a timeless symbol of ancient Egypt’s power. Carved from a single limestone outcrop, this colossal half-lion, half-pharaoh statue (measuring 73m long and 20m tall) has guarded the pyramids for 4,500 years with its mysterious gaze. Believed to bear the face of Pharaoh Khafre, it represents royal wisdom, strength, and divine authority.

About Cairo

Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.

On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
