Stop at: Giza Pyramids Complex

The Giza Pyramids Complex is one of the oldest and most remarkable archaeological sites in the world, dating back more than 4,000 years. It features three main pyramids, six smaller pyramids, and the legendary guardian of Egypt, the Great Sphinx. The complex also includes the Valley Temple, which played a vital role in preserving the legacy of ancient Egyptian kings and queens. Today, the Giza Plateau remains one of Egypt’s top tourist attractions.

Stop at: The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only surviving structure of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built around 2580 BC, it is over 4,500 years old and represents the beginning of the golden age of monumental construction in ancient Egypt. Constructed over 20 years using approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing around 2.5 tons, it once stood at a height of 147 meters (481 feet), making it the tallest building in the world for nearly 3,800 years. Its complex internal design continues to inspire mystery and fascination to this day.

Stop at: The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx is considered the oldest monumental statue in history. Carved from a single limestone rock, it features the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, widely believed to represent King Khafre, symbolizing strength and wisdom. Measuring approximately 73 meters (240 feet) in length and 19 meters (66 feet) in height, the Sphinx remains surrounded by legends, unanswered questions, and timeless intrigue.

Stop at: The Valley Temple

The Valley Temple dates back to the Old Kingdom period (2686–2134 BC) and is closely associated with the royal mummification process. Built from massive limestone and granite blocks, it is one of the best-preserved structures of ancient Egypt and houses impressive diorite statues of King Khafre.
