Itinerary
Join us for a private tour of the Giza Pyramids, and Sphinx, lunch, and a camel ride. Our guide will pick you up from your hotel for an unforgettable day at one of Egypt's top attractions. Built in the 4th Dynasty, the Pyramids of Giza were tombs for kings and queens. Today, over 93 pyramids can be found in Egypt, with the Giza pyramids being the most famous. Explore the magnificence of the area with us.
Discover the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most well-preserved pyramid in Egypt. This ancient wonder was once included in the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" and remains the only one standing today. Built from limestone, it features 1,300,000 blocks weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons, and covers a base of 13 acres. Its sides measure approximately 230 meters (755 feet) and are angled at precisely 52 degrees, with each side facing a cardinal point. For 4300 years, it held the title of the world's tallest building until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.
The 2nd Pyramid, also known as Khafre's Pyramid, is distinctive with its layers of original casing stones near the top. Standing on a higher part of the plateau, it appears taller than the Great Pyramid, but it is actually only 136m (446ft) tall with sides of 214.5m (704ft), an angle of 53 degrees, and a surface area of 11 acres. Over time, it has lost some of its original height, previously standing at 143.5m (471ft).
The Great Sphinx, also known as "Shesep Ankh" or "the living image" to the ancient Egyptians, is an iconic monument that has become synonymous with Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Carved from soft sandstone, the Sphinx would have likely eroded away long ago if it hadn't been buried in sand for extended periods of time. The body of the Sphinx measures 60m (200ft) in length and 20m (65ft) in height, while its face is 4m (13ft) wide with eyes that are 2m (6ft) in height. Facing towards the rising sun, the Sphinx was held in such high regard by the ancient Egyptians that they constructed a temple in front of it.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Giza: Sphinx (Great Sphinx of Giza), Giza Pyramids, Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu Pyramid).
