Detailed Itinerary
Arrival at the Giza Plateau
Your tour begins with a private transfer to the Giza Plateau, just beyond the outskirts of Cairo. As you approach, the monumental lines of the pyramids rise above the desert horizon, creating a powerful visual introduction to one of the world’s oldest architectural masterpieces.
The Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus
The visit centers on the three principal pyramids. Cheops, the largest, stands as the last surviving monument of the ancient world’s seven wonders. Chephren and Mycerinus, positioned nearby, complete the iconic trio that defines Giza’s skyline. Adjacent to them stand the smaller Queens’ Pyramids, offering a wider understanding of the royal complex and its family lineage.
The Great Sphinx
A short distance from the pyramids lies the Great Sphinx. Carved directly from bedrock, it unites the features of a human ruler with the body of a lion. Its scale and craftsmanship reveal the symbolic authority of ancient kings and the artistic sophistication of the Old Kingdom.
