Begin your journey at the Giza Plateau, home to Egypt’s most iconic ancient monuments. Enjoy spectacular views of the three great pyramids while your professional guide introduces you to their history, construction, and significance in ancient Egyptian civilization.
Discover the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the largest of the three pyramids and the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Learn about its extraordinary engineering, its construction during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, and its original purpose as a royal tomb. Entry inside the pyramid is optional and requires a separate ticket.
Continue to the Pyramid of Chephren, the second-largest pyramid at Giza. Admire the limestone casing preserved near its summit and learn about Pharaoh Khafre, whose funerary complex is closely associated with the Great Sphinx.

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.
