Itinerary
The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids in the Giza Pyramids Complex. Built around 2580-2560 BCE during the Fourth Dynasty, it originally stood at 481 feet tall and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Constructed from millions of limestone blocks, the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu. It remains one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian engineering and architectural prowess.
The Great Sphinx of Chephren, also known as the Great Sphinx of Giza, is a monumental limestone statue located near the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. Believed to have been carved during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (Chephren) around 2500 BCE, the Sphinx features the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, likely representing Khafre himself. Measuring about 240 feet in length and 66 feet in height, the Great Sphinx is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt.
The Valley Temple, is an ancient Egyptian structure dating back to approximately 2500 BCE. Constructed for Pharaoh Khafre, the temple was primarily used for mummification and ceremonial purification. It is renowned for its impressive architecture, featuring massive limestone blocks and granite pillars that showcase the grandeur and precision of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship.
The Saqqara Step Pyramid, with its six towering steps reaching towards the heavens, stands at a height of 62 meters and is the earliest large-scale stone construction, built for King Djoser. This remarkable pyramid marks the beginning of the golden era of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt, laying the foundation for the grand monuments that would follow.
Enjoy a delightful lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo, then continue your Full Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur.
Memphis City, was Egypt's ancient capital founded around 3100 BCE. It served as a major political and cultural hub with notable temples, including the Temple of Ptah. Today, it’s an archaeological site with significant artifacts, including a colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx.
The Dahshur Pyramids, south of Cairo, include the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, built by Pharaoh Snefru.

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.
