Pass By: Giza, Giza, Giza Governorate
Today we tour the mysterious Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, with its many secrets and the pyramids of Khafre, and Menkaure.

Stop At: Great Sphinx, Al-Haram, Giza Egypt
The Great Sphinx, or as the ancients knew it, “Sheep Ankh” or “the living image”, has to be one of the most recognizable constructions in history. Think of the Sphinx and you automatically think of Egypt and the Giza Plateau.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Pyramids of Giza, Al Haram Str., Giza 12611 Egypt
The Giza Pyramids are attached to the name of Egypt itself. The huge sizes of the pyramids, especially the Giza ones, are and will always be an awe factor for millions of tourists who visit Egypt all year long. The amazement factor comes from the question that everyone who visits Egypt asks, how the three kings, Khafre, Khufu, and Menkaure, managed to build such huge structures, the Pyramids of Giza. They're Egypt's three main pyramids, built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 B.C). The pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built as tombs for kings (and queens), and it was an exclusive honor to have such a tomb. However, this tradition only applied in the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), Giza Egypt
enter the King's chamber and be told of its mysteries. The Great Pyramid was constructed during 2560 BC and it is 481 feet tall, and now it reached 455 feet because of the removal of its remarkable capstone. Khufu’s Pyramid is built entirely of limestone and is considered an architectural masterpiece. It contains around 1,300,000 blocks ranging in weight from 2.5 tons to 15 tons. Its square base covers 13 acres, and its sides measure about 230m (755ft). Its four sides face the four cardinal points precisely and it has an angle of 52 degrees. The original height of the pyramid was 146.5m (488ft), but today it is only 137m (455ft) high. The 9m (33ft) that is missing is due to the theft of the fine quality limestone covering, or casing stones, by the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century A.D, to build houses and mosques in Cairo. We will visit the Museum of the Solar Boat which was to be used by the pharaoh in his journey to the underworld.
