The service includes hotel pick-up and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle, as well as skip-the-line access to optimise your time on site. The itinerary includes visits to the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and panoramic viewpoints, as well as less crowded sites such as the Valley Temple of King Khafre and ancient tombs. Depending on the chosen option, the experience can be enhanced by a camel ride in the desert and lunch.

2. Gizeh

   The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most famous monuments in Egypt. It is a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. The Sphinx stands on the Giza Plateau, near the Pyramids, and is thought to have been built around 2500 BCE. Here are some key facts about the Sphinx: •It is about 73 meters long and 20 meters high. •It was carved from a single piece of limestone. •Its nose is missing, likely due to erosion or vandalism. •The “Dream Stele” of Thutmose IV, placed between its paws, tells a story about the pharaoh receiving a divine message in a dream.
