This construction was made of more than 2.3 million limestone stones that weighed approximately 6 million tons. Besides, you will explore some interesting chambers inside it, such as King’s Chamber, Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Hall, and hidden voids.

Next, you will admire the great Sphinx statue. This impressive sculpture was carved out of one stone block during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre in the years between 2558 BC and 2532 BC. Its combination of the lion body and the man’s head is symbolic of strength and wisdom.

Right between the Sphinx’s paws lies a stone monument called the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV (1401 BC).

Next, you will visit the Valley Temple, which served the needs of the royal family of the 4th dynasty as the place for mummification rituals to prepare the body for afterlife.

Then you will visit the amazing Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a modern masterpiece that is perfectly combined with the pyramids of Giza and covers about 490,000 square meters.
