What's included in Half Day Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Giza pyramids
The tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo, taking you to the Giza Plateau to explore the majestic Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. After marveling at these ancient wonders, you'll visit the iconic Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, believed to date back to the reign of Chephren. The tour also includes a stop at the Valley Temple, which is part of the Pyramid complex of Chephren. This temple served two key purposes: it was used to purify the king's mummy before burial and played a crucial role in the mummification process.
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)
During your visit to the Giza Plateau, you’ll explore the iconic Great Pyramid of Khufu, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids, built over 4,500 years ago. The tour also includes a stop at the Valley Temple, where mummification rituals were believed to take place — a fascinating site that offers deeper insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs and funerary practices.
You’ll see the impressive Pyramid of Chephren, the second-largest pyramid, easily recognized by the remains of its original casing stones at the top. Built for Pharaoh Chephren, it stands proudly beside the Great Sphinx, adding to the grandeur of this ancient royal complex.
