    Khafre's Pyramid

    The Pyramid of Khafre (also known as the Pyramid of Chephren) is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza. Built for Pharaoh Khafre around 2570 BCE, it is often mistaken for the Great Pyramid because it sits on a higher pedestal of bedrock, making it appear taller.

    Pyramid of Menkaure

    The Pyramid of Menkaure (also spelled Mykerinos) is the smallest of the three main pyramids of Giza, but it is often considered the most architecturally complex. Built for the Pharaoh Menkaure around 2510 BCE, it stands as a unique monument to the transition of the Old Kingdom.

    Great Sphinx

    The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world's most iconic monuments, carved directly from a single ridge of limestone on the Giza Plateau. Representing a reclining lion with a human head—widely believed to be Pharaoh Khafre—it has stood guard over the necropolis for over 4,500 years.

    Nile River Valley

    Step away from the city’s roar and into the gentle rhythm of the Nile. Our traditional Felucca rides offer a 'slow-motion' escape where the only engine is the wind and the only sound is the water against the wood. Whether it’s a romantic date under the Cairo skyline or a quiet moment of reflection, this is the Nile exactly as it has been experienced for thousands of years. Unplug, unwind, and watch the sun paint the city in gold."
