Stop 1
The Pyramids of Giza are the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World and stand as Egypt’s most iconic monuments. Built more than 4,500 years ago, this incredible complex includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, each constructed as royal tombs for the mighty pharaohs of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.
Rising majestically from the desert sands on the Giza Plateau, the pyramids continue to amaze visitors with their sheer scale and mysterious precision. Nearby, the Great Sphinx, with its lion’s body and human face, guards the plateau and symbolizes strength and wisdom. From the Panoramic Viewpoint, you can capture breathtaking photos of all three pyramids together, and even enjoy a camel ride (Optional) across the golden sands, just as travelers have done for centuries.

Inside, you’ll discover an extraordinary collection that spans thousands of years of Egyptian history — from colossal statues of pharaohs to intricate jewelry and everyday objects that reveal how ancient Egyptians lived. One of the museum’s highlights is the complete collection of King Tutankhamun’s treasures, presented together in one place for the first time since their discovery.
The Grand Egyptian Museum is more than just an exhibition space — it’s an immersive journey through Egypt’s past, blending cutting-edge technology with timeless history to create a truly unforgettable experience.
