Start your Pyramids tour with the Great Pyramid of King Cheops

The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops, is a testament to ancient engineering and design. Constructed around 2600 BC, it was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. The pyramid was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu and is the oldest and only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its construction involved an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks, weighing a total of 6 million tones, showcasing the remarkable capabilities of the Old Kingdom Egyptians.

Proceed your Half Day Tour of Pyramids of Giza to the Second and Third Pyramids of Kefren and Menkaure

The Second and Third Pyramids of Giza, built for Pharaohs Khafre and Menkaure respectively, are monumental testaments to ancient Egyptian engineering and religious beliefs. Khafre's pyramid, recognized by the Great Sphinx that guards its valley temple, stands at an original height of 143 meters and was completed around 2570 BCE. Menkaure's pyramid, though smaller, with an original height of 66 meters, is no less significant, reflecting the continuation of a tradition that spanned generations. These structures, along with the Great Pyramid of Khufu, form a historical complex that has fascinated scholars and tourists alike for centuries.

The Valley Temple is a significant part of ancient Egyptian architecture, often associated with the Pyramids of Giza. One of the most famous is the Valley Temple of Khafre, located near the Great Sphinx. This temple served as a critical component in the funeral rites of Pharaohs, providing a place for the purification and mummification of the royal body before burial. Built from massive granite blocks and featuring alabaster flooring, the Valley Temple of Khafre stands as a testament to the grandeur and precision of ancient Egyptian construction techniques.

After you explore the Valley temple you will be at the nearest point to the Great Sphinx.

The Great Sphinx of Giza, a monumental sculpture that has stood the test of time, is one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt. Carved from a single piece of limestone, it features a lion's body and a human head, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. This colossal statue, measuring 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height, continues to captivate scholars and tourists alike with its enigmatic presence and the mysteries surrounding its construction and purpose. Despite the erosion and damage, it has suffered through millennia, the Sphinx remains a profound testament to the ingenuity and artistry of its creators.

At the end of your tour of the Pyramid you will be transferred to your hotel.
