You’ll start the day by visiting the Pyramids of Giza (Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus) and the Great Sphinx. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Giza before proceeding to the Egyptian Museum.
The museum houses an impressive collection of over 250,000 authentic artefacts, including a unique exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun, showcasing treasures, gold, and jewellery that were buried with him for over 3,500 years before being discovered in 1920.

The Giza Pyramid Complex is the most popular tourist attraction in Egypt. Also, we call it the Giza Necropolis. This Complex is an Ancient Egyptian site located on the Giza Plateau. Widely known, it includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, its associated networks, and the Sphinx of Giza.
The ancient Egyptians built these massive constructions during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. Additionally, the Giza Complex includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers’ settlement on its territory.
