Giza Pyramids, Sphinx & Grand Egyptian Museum Guided Tour

This comprehensive day tour combines Egypt's most famous ancient monuments with its newest archaeological showcase. You'll explore the Giza Pyramid complex, meet the enigmatic Sphinx, and discover treasures at the Grand Egyptian Museum, all with expert commentary from an Egyptologist guide.

Your tour begins with hotel pickup from Cairo or Giza in an air-conditioned vehicle. First stop is the Giza Plateau, where you'll see the Pyramids of Cheops (the Great Pyramid), Chephren, and Menkaure up close. Your guide explains the construction techniques, historical significance, and enduring mysteries of these ancient wonders as you walk around the complex and capture photos from various viewpoints.

Next, you'll encounter the Sphinx of Giza with its lion's body and pharaoh's face, believed to represent King Khafre.
