Itinerary
At the beginning you will stop by The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
Entrance to the chapel of the Pyramid is available with an extra ticket. you can walk through the narrow pathway to the chapel of the King inside the pyramid.
You'll then drive a small distance to the Great Sphinx, which is one of the world's largest and oldest statues but basic facts about it are still subject to debate, such as when it was built, by whom, and for what purpose. These questions have resulted in the popular idea of the 'Riddle of the Sphinx' alluding to the original Greek legend of the Riddle of the Sphinx.
You'll stop by the three of Pyramids and get escorted by the Egyptologist. Afterwards you shall have some photos from somewhere called 'The Panorama' where you are higher than the Pyramids and have a fantastic view above them with Cairo in the background.

Our guide was incredible. His knowledge and explanations were so easily understood and he always made time for questions, etc. He had a great sense of humor and we had a fabulous and unforgettable experience!
The pyramids are unreal!! It is easy to believe in aliens when you see them. Our guide Rehab was just wonderful - so knowlegable and filling us in on all the amazing details of these 5000 year old gigantic, impossibly perfect structures-. The camel ride was super picturesqe- our kids thought we were in a movie! Loved it! We began with the Saqqara step pyramid that started the classic design and then moved on to the big ones, with chances to see the excavations going on and view close up gorgeous hieroglyphs in a side tomb. The traffic is crazy but not angry or loud and our driver Nasser was excellent! A great beginning to our Blue Sky tour of the whole country!
