Places You'll Visit
The Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, Egypt, was built around 2560 BCE as the tomb of the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu, the largest of the three Giza pyramids at an original height of about 146.6 meters. It is the sole survivor of the ancient Seven Wonders and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Memphis and its Necropolis.
The Egyptian Museum sits on Tahrir Square in Cairo and opened to the public on 15 November 1902, in a neoclassical building designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. Its collection exceeds 170,000 artifacts spanning the Predynastic period to the Greco-Roman era, including many objects from Tutankhamun's tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.

Huge thanks to our dear guides Ali and Mahmoud! We went to Cairo to the pyramids. Be ready, it's not easy. But our guides did everything to make sure we survived it and had a great time!! So much care and information we got!!! Unforgettable!! Thank you so much for the organization! Comfortable buses. We're absolutely thrilled 🙏🏼🧡
Everything went great, fun and interesting, a wonderful guide, a big comfortable bus, two drivers, they drove us there and back smoothly with no incidents, lunch included, we stopped at all the pyramids plus the Sphinx, then the museum and a boat ride on the Nile, all fun and full of atmosphere, especially going down inside a pyramid, amazing. I recommend the Cairo Pyramids excursion!!!
