Enjoy this region that continues to surprise us with amazing discoveries even now. On our way to the Pyramids of Giza, the guide will take you to a local restaurant for a delicious Egyptian meal in a high-quality restaurant.
Then we move on to the Pyramids of Giza. Our destination begins with a visit to the Pyramid of Cheops. Some scholars have speculated that the original plan of the pyramid intended it to be the burial chamber. The King and his architects changed their minds and decided on a completely different internal structure. It measures 5.76 m x 5.23 m x 6.26 m high.
Once Khufu has been sufficiently explained, we turn to Khafre's pyramid, which was ingeniously constructed by King Khafre, who still possesses a portion of the outer layer of limestone and the location where he chose to erect the pyramid.
King Menkaure was unable to complete his pyramid complex, as he died before it was finished, and before many of the granite casing blocks for the pyramid had been polished. The mortuary temple and the private valley temple were supposed to be made of massive limestone blocks covered with granite, but were actually built using white mud bricks. Finally, our destination will be the Sphinx, after which our tour will end by taking you back to your hotel

- It is estimated to consist of approximately 2.3 million limestone and granite blocks, each weighing several tons.
5. The Pyramid of Khafre:
- The Pyramid of Khafre is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid but appears taller due to its higher elevation and the retaining casing stones at the top.
- It features a mortuary temple and the famous Great Sphinx of Giza, believed to be a representation of Pharaoh Khafre himself.
6. The Pyramid of Menkaure:
- The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main pyramids at Giza. It is flanked by three smaller pyramids for queens.

- They continue to inspire awe and curiosity, with ongoing research to uncover more about their construction, purpose, and symbolism.
