Your Cairo stopover begins with a pickup from the airport in a private air-conditioned car, joined by a professional tour guide, to start exploring one of the Seven Wonders of the World — the Giza Pyramids.
The Giza Pyramids complex is a timeless outdoor museum dating back more than 4,500 years. It features the three famous main pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the mighty Sphinx, and the Valley Temple.
Built around 2600 BC as the eternal tomb of King Khufu, the Great Pyramid is the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Rising 147 meters high and weighing about six million tons, it houses multiple inner chambers.
The Great Sphinx, carved for Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC), is the largest single-stone statue on earth. It represents wisdom and strength, with the famous Dream Stele of Thutmose IV standing between its paws.
The Valley Temple, dating back to the Old Kingdom (2686–2134 BC), was the royal center for purification and mummification, preparing the pharaohs for eternal life.
The Grand Egyptian Museum offers a gateway to over 5,000 years of ancient creativity and innovation. Inside, visitors can admire priceless treasures such as:
The Hanging Obelisk, the statue of King Ramses II, ten statues of King Senusret, the Grand Staircase, figures of Ptolemaic rulers, the Victory Column of King Merneptah, the royal regalia, and the Grand Atrium with its gift hall.
