First, we will pick you up from Cairo International Airport. Then, we will proceed to the Khufu Great Pyramid. Notably, the Great Pyramid of King Khufu is the only still-standing wonder from the ancient wonders of the world.

Following this, we will visit the Queens’ Pyramids, which are the tombs of the wives of King Khufu. During this visit, you will have the opportunity to explore the three pyramids from Khufu’s time and even get inside one of them.

Take Great Photos

Afterward, we will stop at the Panorama Photo Spot, where you can admire the three Pyramids of the Kings and take photos and selfies with the pyramids in the background. Next on our itinerary is the Great Sphinx.

This remarkable statue represents King Chephren and was carved from a huge piece of limestone rock that was left by the workers due to its low-quality standard. Subsequently, this rock was transformed into a statue of the king himself, depicting him with a human head on a lion’s body.

The Mummification Temple

Additionally, we will visit the Mummification Temple, which is the site where the king was mummified. Additionally, we will drive through Cairo Downtown, where we will see the area, visit Tahrir Square, and make a stop by the Nile for photos. Finally, we will transfer you back to the airport 2 hours before your flight.
