Following our museum visit, we’ll head to Giza on the outskirts of Cairo to explore the Sphinx and the three great pyramids of Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), standing at 500 feet high and 750 feet wide at its base, is a magnificent man-made structure made of colossal stone blocks with a limestone casing. Over time, the casing has been removed, exposing the inner block structure. Along with the smaller pyramids of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus), the awe-inspiring sight of these gigantic structures rising from the desert is a breathtaking spectacle. If you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to climb down inside the pyramids, though your guide cannot accompany you. Please note that a limited number of tickets are available for the Great Pyramid.
