Activity itinerary

Panoramic view of the Pyramids
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Your private tour begins with pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you drive toward the Giza Plateau, your expert Egyptologist guide will introduce you to the ancient wonders awaiting you. After passing through the gates of the plateau, you’ll head directly to the panoramic viewpoint — the best spot to see all three pyramids (Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure) in one stunning frame. Take breathtaking photos with a desert backdrop and enjoy a peaceful moment away from the crowds. Here, you’ll have the option to ride a camel across the golden sands, just like the ancient travelers once did. Your guide will help you capture unforgettable shots and share the history behind this iconic landscape. This panoramic experience is one of the true highlights of visiting the Pyramids of Giza — ideal for photography lovers and anyone seeking that once-in-a-lifetime memory.
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Next, visit the legendary Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and oldest of the three pyramids at Giza and the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. Standing over 140 meters tall, this massive structure was built more than 4,500 years ago and continues to astonish historians and visitors alike. Your Egyptologist guide will explain the secrets behind its perfect alignment, massive limestone blocks, and the incredible techniques used to construct it without modern tools. You’ll walk around the base of the pyramid, marvel at its sheer scale, and learn about King Khufu’s legacy and the myths surrounding his tomb. For those interested, there’s an option to go inside the Great Pyramid (extra ticket required), where a narrow passage leads to the King’s Chamber — a surreal and unforgettable experience for ancient history lovers. This stop is the heart of the Giza Plateau and a must-see highlight.
Valley Temple of Khafre
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
After exploring the Great Pyramid, continue to the Valley Temple of Khafre, one of the best-preserved mortuary temples from ancient Egypt. Located at the base of the Giza Plateau near the Sphinx, this temple was part of King Khafre’s funerary complex and played a vital role in the mummification process. Walk through its massive limestone hallways as your Egyptologist guide explains how priests prepared the pharaoh’s body before burial. The temple’s simple yet powerful architecture offers insight into Old Kingdom rituals, showcasing original pink granite pillars and alabaster floors still intact after thousands of years. Unlike the pyramids, this sacred structure invites you to step inside and feel the energy of a place once used for powerful religious ceremonies. A must-see for those who want to go beyond the surface and discover the spiritual side of ancient Egyptian beliefs.
Great Sphinx
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Your final stop is the awe-inspiring Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the most iconic and mysterious monuments in the world. Carved from a single block of limestone, the Sphinx features the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh — believed to represent King Khafre. Measuring 73 meters long and 20 meters high, it has stood guard over the Giza Plateau for more than 4,500 years. As you approach the monument, your Egyptologist guide will share theories about its purpose, construction, and the legends surrounding its missing nose. You’ll have time to walk around the Sphinx enclosure, take epic close-up photos, and learn how this ancient guardian was buried in sand for centuries before being rediscovered. This unforgettable encounter with the Sphinx completes your journey through the Giza wonders — a perfect blend of myth, history, and timeless majesty.
