Giza Pyramids Complex
To protect the most extensive collection of archaeological treasures, including the following, the Giza Pyramids complex was constructed about 2600 BC during the ancient monarchy (2686–2134 BC).
The Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu (2609–2584 BC) is one of the world’s highest buildings even today, reaching a height of 147 m from 2.3 million limestone pieces weighing a combined 6 million tonnes. The Great Pyramid’s builder, Hemiunu, was able to add the Queen’s chamber, the King’s chamber, the enormous vacuum, the grand hall, and many more to the center of the Great Pyramid. It is the oldest of the seven ancient worlds that he created.
The Great Sphinx
Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC) constructed the enormous heavenly guardian known as the Great Sphinx Horus of the Horizon to honor his wisdom and might. To demonstrate its effect even after 1100 years, the magnificent dream Steele of Thutmose IV, which is positioned beneath his face between his paws, was added in 1401 BC.
The Valley Temple
Built to prepare the royal family of the 4th dynasty for the procedure of purification known as mummification, the timeless Valley temple evolved into the secret to immortality.

Day 3: Visit the Luxor Attractions
Take the first-class train to Luxor with your tour guide after breakfast. Upon arrival, you will start by seeing the following Luxor sights:
The Kings’ Valley
During the New Kingdom (1570–1050 BC), the epic valley of the kings was discovered in the center of the sacred hill for both protection and religious reasons. The 63 tombs of the famous kings and queens of Ramses the Great, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Tutankhamun, and other dynasties are located within the royal valley gate of the kings.
Temple of Hatshepsut
To glorify Amun, the sun god, and preserve Hatshepsut’s rich history, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1507–1458 BC), the holiest of the holies, was built in 1479 BC for 15 years. One of Egypt’s best-preserved archaeological sites, the charming temple of Hatshepsut displays traditional Egyptian architecture.
Memnon’s Colossi
The Colossi of Memnon, which Pharaoh Amenhotep III created, are enormous works of art that were constructed around 1350 BC but were often destroyed and rebuilt, particularly during the Greco-Roman era when they were employed to create enchanted sounds at dawn.
Karnak Temple
The most prized location for displaying the religion and creative prowess of the ancient Egyptians is the everlasting golden complex of Karnak temple. Pr-In, which honors the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, was the name given to it. The complex of temples at Karnak was built across a 247-acre area beginning in the year 2000 B.C. and finishing in the year 30 A.D. The enthralling specimens of prehistoric architecture and art include the lovely Avenue of Sphinxes, the hypostyle hall, and religion.
