Experience the largest museum of ancient Egyptian art with its treasures from Egypt's glorious past, such as the exquisite funerary objects. Our guide will humorously explain the most important exhibits during a two-hour visit and answer your questions.

Marvel at the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World – a truly legendary experience! Here you'll find three pyramids: the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Khufu, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. You can explore the site on foot, horseback, or camel.

After visiting the Pyramids of Giza, we'll proceed to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and best-preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The Sphinx was carved from the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Pyramid of Khufu.

Felucca ride on the Nile. Available upon request and at an additional cost.
