Overview

A day tour to Giza Pyramids and Sphinx is an extraordinary and educational adventure that allows you to explore one of the most renowned ancient wonders of the world. The Giza Pyramids are located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, and consist of three primary pyramids built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. There are also smaller pyramids and other structures in the area.

Pyramids of Giza

The tour starts with a pick-up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. After a comfortable drive, you'll reach the Giza plateau and be able to witness the wonderful pyramids up close and personal. It's a surreal experience to stand before these massive structures that have withstood the test of time. You'll be amazed by the incredible engineering achievement that allowed the ancient Egyptians to construct these pyramids using only manual labor and primitive tools.


Your tour guide will provide you with a wealth of information about the history and significance of the pyramids, as well as the culture and traditions of the ancient Egyptians who built them. You'll learn how the pyramids were constructed as burial tombs for pharaohs and their consorts and how the ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife and the importance of preserving the physical body for the journey into the afterlife.

The Sphinx

During the tour, you'll also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area, including the Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The Sphinx is believed to have been built during the reign of the pharaoh Khafre and is considered a symbol of strength and wisdom.

The Solar Boat Museum

The Solar Boat Museum is another highlight of the tour. It houses a reconstructed boat used by the pharaoh Khufu for transportation on the Nile River. The boat is an excellent example of the advanced boat-building techniques of the ancient Egyptians.

The Valley Temple

Finally, you'll visit the Valley Temple, a magnificent structure located near the Pyramids of Giza. This temple, made from massive blocks of limestone, served as a crucial mortuary complex for the pharaohs. It's a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Egyptian funerary practices and rituals, providing insight into their beliefs about the afterlife and the journey of the deceased. Explore the intricate architecture and learn from your guide about the Valley Temple's significance in ancient Egyptian history and culture.

Overall, a day tour to the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you with a deep admiration for the achievements of the ancient Egyptians and their remarkable culture.

Aswan/Luxor travel experience Ali Voyage helped arrange my trip to Kom Ombo and Edfu temples at the last minute when I was in Aswan. I had a great time and I'm glad I got to go after all. The driver was professional, considerate, and friendly and we had a good time during the long drive to the temples and back before my flight home. Mr. Ali really cares about your experience and happiness in Egypt and he will go to great lengths to help you make the most of your stay! He was flexible with my schedule and helped to accomodate my needs even as my itinerary was changing! He called to check in during my trip and after as well to get feedback on my experience, showing excellent customer service. You will not regret booking an experience with Ali Voyage. I booked my trip on their website and he told me they are working on updating their system to make credit card payments possible on their website which is surely going to make it even more accessible to travellers. Thank you Ali Voyage! I recommend this travel agency 👍 👍 PS - I recommend getting a private car for the temples so you can avoid the massive crowds from the group tours and cruises.
