Your unforgettable private guided tour will start when you arrive at the legendary Giza Pyramids Complex, an extraordinary site created out of the sands of Giza within the Old Kingdom (2686 – 2134 BC).

Then you will be taken to the impressive Great Pyramid of Khufu, the icon of Egypt and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The pyramid was erected by King Khufu (2609 BC - 2584 BC) under the guidance of his master builder Hemiunu. The structure is approximately 147 meters high and consists of around 2.3 million limestone blocks weighing nearly 6 million tons. The pyramid is unique not only due to its size but also because it has internal structures including the King’s Chamber, Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Hall, and even a mysterious Big Void.
After that, you will admire the grandeur of the Great Sphinx, or Horus of the Horizon, a powerful and wise protector of this sacred plateau carved in the form of Pharaoh Khafre (2558 BC - 2532 BC). In front of its paws lays a well-known Dream Stele of Thutmose IV (1401 BC).
