The Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 2570 BC, is a breathtaking architectural marvel that served as the eternal tomb of Pharaoh Khufu. Rising 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall and constructed with 2.3 million limestone blocks weighing a total of six million tons, it was the tallest man-made structure on earth for nearly 3,800 years. Inside are the King’s Chamber, Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery, and hidden voids of great mystery.
The mystical Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone outcrop, has fascinated travelers for millennia. Built under Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC), it bears his regal features on the body of a lion, symbolizing strength and wisdom. Between its paws lies the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV (1401–1391 BC), recording a divine vision.
The Valley Temple, constructed by Pharaoh Khafre during the 4th Dynasty, was the sacred site for mummification and purification rituals. Built of Tura limestone and granite, it served as the gateway to the afterlife for the pharaohs and queens of ancient Egypt.

The ancient city of Memphis, founded by Pharaoh Menes in the 31st century BC, served as Egypt’s first capital. Protected by the god Ptah, it became a flourishing cultural and religious hub, home to the famous temple of Hut-ka-Ptah, which gave Egypt its modern name.

Petra, often called the Rose City for its stunning pink sandstone, is one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological wonders. Built by the Nabataeans nearly 7,000 years ago in southern Jordan, it was a thriving hub of trade and culture, and today stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Al Khazneh, or The Treasury, is Petra’s most iconic monument. Carved in the 1st century AD under King Aretas IV, its magnificent façade appears dramatically at the end of the Siq. This breathtaking masterpiece has captivated visitors for centuries and continues to be Petra’s most celebrated site.
The Royal Tombs, a series of spectacular rock-cut mausoleums in Petra’s eastern cliffs, were constructed in the 1st century AD. These monumental tombs—including the Urn Tomb, Silk Tomb, Corinthian Tomb, and Palace Tomb—are believed to have housed Nabataean kings and nobles.
The Great Theatre of Petra, initially built by the Nabataeans in the 1st century AD and later expanded by the Romans, could seat up to 7,000 spectators. This impressive monument reflects both Nabataean creativity and Roman architectural influence.
Qasr al-Bint, dating to 30 BC–40 AD, is one of the most important temples in Petra. Dedicated to Nabataean gods, it is a rare example of a freestanding stone structure that has endured the test of time despite earthquakes and erosion.
After your tour, enjoy a traditional dinner before heading to Wadi Rum, the desert of wonders.

The ruins of a small Nabataean temple from the 1st century AD, built when Wadi Rum was a significant stop along ancient trade routes. The site’s walls and inscriptions reflect the strong influence of nearby Petra on the region.
Lawrence Spring, named after T. E. Lawrence (“Lawrence of Arabia”), who passed through during the Arab Revolt (1917–1918). This natural spring, surrounded by fig trees and decorated with Thamudic inscriptions, has long been a lifeline for travelers in the desert.
Khazali Canyon is a narrow gorge adorned with Nabataean and Thamudic inscriptions depicting animals, people, and ancient scripts, emphasizing Wadi Rum’s role as a historical meeting point for desert tribes.
