Itinerary
You will be transferred from the airport or from in front of your hotel to Giza to visit the most famous place in it, which is the Giza Pyramids.
You're going to the Great Pyramid. Khufu emerged as the earthly ruler of Horus, necessitating the construction of his own tomb—the first national undertaking in ancient Egypt. Professional workers from all over Egypt participated in its construction, and the Great Pyramid remained at its original height of "148 meters" for about 3800 years, and it is the largest building built by man.
You will learn through our guide who will provide you with a lot of information about Khafre, Khafre, Menkaure, and the Sphinx. You will also learn about the relationship between the Sphinx and the Pharaohs through the strange stories that have come down to us from their eras. Some kings used the statue for political propaganda purposes. Some came just to worship it. While other kings came to hunt and walk around it. Here, I must emphasize that the Sphinx was carved during the reign of King Khafre and dates back to the Fourth Dynasty, approximately 4,500 years ago, during which you will witness the history and greatness of Egypt throughout the ages.
Eventually, it will take you back to a place you've been many times.
