5. Standing in front of Khafre’s Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, you are witnessing the second-largest pyramid on the Giza Plateau, built for Pharaoh Khafre around 2570 BC. Unlike the other pyramids, Khafre’s Pyramid still retains some of its original smooth limestone casing at the top, giving a glimpse of how all the pyramids once looked. It stands at 136 meters (446 feet) and is often mistaken for the largest due to its elevated position on bedrock. **Note:** If you wish to explore the interior of Khafre’s Pyramid, you can purchase an entry ticket at the ticket office for an additional cost. Your guide will assist you with the process.

6. Afterward, continue to the Great Sphinx, an iconic limestone statue with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, believed to date back to the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (Chephren). The Sphinx was built to guard the pyramids and remains one of the most mysterious monuments of ancient Egypt. Next, visit the Valley Temple, which was part of Khafre’s pyramid complex. This temple played a crucial role in the purification and mummification rituals of the king before his burial. Its well-preserved granite pillars and alabaster floors provide a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian ceremonies. After exploring these incredible sites, enjoy a delicious lunch at a VIP restaurant with your guide, where you can relax and reflect on your journey through ancient history. Finally, you will head back to your hotel, concluding your unforgettable tour of the Pyramids of Giza.

About Kairo

Kairo er Egypts vidstrakte hovedstad ved Nilen, der pyramidene i Giza møter middelalderske moskeer, travle basarer og faraoenes skatter.

I byens vestlige utkant reiser pyramidene i Giza og Den store sfinksen seg fra ørkenplatået, med trappepyramiden i Saqqara og ruinene av Memfis lenger sør. Kairos store museer, Det egyptiske museet ved Tahrir-plassen og det enorme Grand Egyptian Museum ved siden av platået, rommer gjenstander fra tusenvis av år.
