Start your tour with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, one of the most important ancient Egyptian sites and one of the main highlights of any Cairo tour. The Giza Pyramids Complex was built during the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around 2600 BC to 2500 BC, and includes the three main pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.
Your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the Old Kingdom, the role of the Giza Plateau, pyramid construction, and the importance of the pyramids as royal tombs. You will have time to see the pyramids from the main viewpoints and learn about their layout and historical context.
The visit includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu, built around 2580 BC to 2560 BC and originally about 146.6 meters / 481 feet high, the Pyramid of Khafre, built around 2570 BC and originally about 143.5 meters / 471 feet high, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, built around 2510 BC and originally about 65 meters / 213 feet high, from outside.

Continue to the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of the most recognized monuments in Egypt. The Great Sphinx is generally dated to the Old Kingdom, around 2500 BC, and has the body of a lion and the head of a king.
The Great Sphinx measures about 73 meters / 240 feet long and about 20 meters / 66 feet high. During your visit, your guide will explain the history of the Sphinx, its connection with King Khafre of the 4th Dynasty, and its role in the ancient Egyptian royal and religious landscape of Giza.
Continue to the Valley Temple of Khafre, part of the pyramid complex of King Khafre from the 4th Dynasty, around the 26th century BC. Valley temples were connected with royal funerary rituals, purification, mummification traditions, and the processional route leading toward the pyramid complex.
