The Last Ancient Wonder Your private guide will pick you up from your hotel to begin your journey to the Giza Plateau. Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu—the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your Egyptologist will unravel the mysteries of its construction, explaining how these massive limestone blocks were transported and assembled over 4,500 years ago. (Note: If you wish to climb inside the Great Pyramid to see the King's Chamber, your guide can assist with the extra entrance ticket on-site).
Desert Camel Ride & Panoramic Views No trip to Giza is complete without venturing into the golden sands. You will mount a camel for a magical 45-minute ride across the desert, reaching the high panoramic viewpoint. This is the absolute best spot to capture stunning, unobstructed photos of all three pyramids aligned against the Cairo skyline.
The Great Sphinx & Valley Temple Next, journey down to the Valley Temple, where the mummification of King Khafre took place, before coming face-to-face with the legendary Great Sphinx. Carved from a single massive piece of limestone, this mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh has guarded the necropolis for millennia.
Authentic Egyptian Lunch After exploring the plateau, you will relax and recharge at a top-rated local restaurant to enjoy a delicious, authentic Egyptian lunch before your private driver transfers you comfortably back to your hotel.
