Giza Pyramids Complex

Begin your journey at the iconic Giza Pyramids Complex—one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites on Earth. This historic plateau has stood for over 4,500 years and includes the three majestic pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, along with six smaller pyramids, the mysterious Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu

Constructed around 2600 BC, the Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and most impressive of the trio. Designed by the royal architect Hemiunu, this ancient wonder was originally 147 meters tall and built using approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks. Visitors can explore its fascinating internal structure, including the King’s Chamber, Queen’s Chamber, and the Grand Gallery.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

Standing guard over the plateau is the enigmatic Great Sphinx, believed to date back to around 2500 BC. Carved from a single block of limestone, this mythical statue features the head of Pharaoh Khafre and the body of a lion, symbolizing strength and wisdom.

The Valley Temple

Located near the Sphinx, the Valley Temple played a vital role in the mummification process during the Old Kingdom. Built around 2700 BC, this granite-and-limestone structure served as a purification and embalming site for royalty of the 4th Dynasty.
