Giza Pyramids Complex

Dating back more than 4,000 years, the Giza Pyramids Complex is one of the world's oldest and most iconic sites. It includes the three main pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, together forming a lasting tribute to the kings and queens of ancient Egypt.

The Great Pyramid

As the only surviving structure among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid remains one of the most remarkable feats of engineering ever achieved. Built around 2580 BC, it took roughly 20 years to complete using 2.3 million blocks of limestone, each weighing about 2.5 tons, and a workforce of 100,000 skilled laborers. Standing 147 meters tall, it held the record as the world's tallest structure for nearly 3,800 years, until the completion of Lincoln Cathedral in 1311.

The Great Sphinx

Known locally as Abu Al-Hawl, or the Father of Terror, the Great Sphinx is the oldest known statue in history. Carved from a single block of limestone, it combines the body of a lion with a human head, believed to represent King Khafre, symbolizing power and wisdom. Standing 73 meters long and 19 meters tall, it remains one of Egypt's most mysterious and captivating landmarks.

The Valley Temple

Dating back to Egypt's Old Kingdom, the Valley Temple was once the site of ancient mummification rituals. Built from limestone and granite, it's one of the best-preserved structures of its era and houses striking diorite statues of King Khafre.

The Grand Egyptian Museum

Spanning nearly 490,000 square meters near the Giza Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum showcases over 5,000 years of Egyptian history through cutting-edge design and storytelling. As one of the largest conservation centers in the Middle East, it houses treasures such as the Hanging Obelisk, an 11-meter statue of Ramses II, and the complete Tutankhamun collection of more than 5,000 artifacts.

Lunch Time

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo before continuing to your next stop.

The Egyptian Museum

Built in 1901 in the heart of downtown Cairo, the Egyptian Museum was the first structure of its kind dedicated to showcasing 5,000 years of Egyptian art and history.

Overnight

At the end of the day, you'll be transferred back to your hotel to rest for the night.

After breakfast, you will set off for Alexandria—the enchanting Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea—where timeless allure and ancient wonders come to life. Your journey through Egypt’s coastal crown jewel features the following iconic sights:

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa

Step into one of Egypt’s most fascinating historical monuments. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this multi-level underground necropolis seamlessly blends Ancient Egyptian motifs with Hellenistic and Roman artistic traditions. Spanning three underground tiers filled with striking sculptures and ornate bas-reliefs, it earned a rightful place among the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

Pompey's Pillar

Stand before the largest monolithic column ever erected outside of Rome. Crafted from a single mass of solid red granite, this towering monument rises 28 meters high with a diameter of 2.7 meters, featuring a Greek inscription honoring Emperor Diocletian. Its famous namesake dates to the Middle Ages, when Crusaders mistakenly believed the ashes of the Roman general Pompey were housed in a urn atop the capital.

Qaitbay Citadel

Experience a breathtaking masterpiece of Islamic military architecture sitting directly on the Mediterranean shoreline. Built in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf Al-Din Qa'itbay, this formidable fortress was constructed on the exact site of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—using stones salvaged after medieval earthquakes destroyed the beacon.

Lunch Break

Savor a fresh seafood lunch at a local restaurant with panoramic coastal views.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Conclude your tour at a state-of-the-art cultural landmark built to commemorate the great Ancient Library of Alexandria. This world-renowned trilingual institution (Arabic, English, and French) stands as the world’s sixth-largest Francophone library and holds the largest collection of French literature in North Africa and the Middle East, along with a treasure trove of rare books and historical manuscripts.

Return & Overnight

At the end of the day, sit back and relax on your private transfer back to your hotel in Cairo for an overnight stay.
