About the Giza Pyramids

Above all, the Giza Pyramids are one of the most iconic landmarks in Egypt and the world, situated near the city of Giza, southwest of Cairo.Three pyramids, namely the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated complexes, make up the complex. Builders constructed them during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between 2600 and 2500 BC.

The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, holds the title of the largest pyramid in Giza and the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing today. Builders completed the Great Pyramid around 2570 BC, and it reaches an impressive height of 147 meters. Workers constructed it using about 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing around 2.5 tons, and experts estimate that it took around 20 years and involved 100,000 workers to finish.

Khafre’s Pyramid

The Pharaoh Khafre built the Pyramid of Khafre, which is located a few hundred meters southwest of the Great Pyramid and stands at a height of 136 meters. The Pyramid of Khafre is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid but appears taller due to its elevation.

Pharaoh Menkaure constructed the Pyramid of Menkaure, located a short distance south of the other two pyramids. It is the smallest of the three and stands at a height of 62 meters, with its construction completed around 2510 BC.

A massive statue with the head of a human and the body of a lion. The Sphinx stands at a height of 20 meters and is situated on the west bank of the Nile river. Its purpose remains a mystery.

General information

Visitors can explore the Giza Pyramid on foot and enter some pyramids, except for the Great Pyramid, which is closed for interior exploration. Moreover, there is a sound and light show that takes place in the evenings to provide an educational and entertaining experience for visitors.

Overall, the Giza Pyramids are a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of ancient Egypt. They are a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, tradition, and culture.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
