Our adventure begins with an early morning departure from your hotel in Cairo. We will head straight to the Giza plateau outside the bustling city. On our way, we'll provide some background information on the historical significance of this beautiful region.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
Our first stop will be the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khufu. Standing at a staggering 481 feet, it is the largest and oldest of the three pyramids. We will explore the pyramid's exterior and discuss its construction, architecture, and secrets.
Pyramid of Khafre and the Sphinx
Next, we will visit the Pyramid of Khafre, which appears taller than the Great Pyramid due to its location on higher ground. We will also meet the mysterious Sphinx, guardian of the pyramids, and delve into its history and significance.
