The Giza Pyramids Complex:

Marvel at one of the world’s greatest wonders, built more than 4,500 years ago during the Old Kingdom. These monumental tombs were designed to ensure the pharaohs’ transformation into gods in the afterlife, filled with treasures and items meant to sustain them for eternity.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

The largest and oldest pyramid in Giza, built in 2550 B.C., originally stood at 481 feet. Composed of 2.3 million stone blocks weighing up to 15 tons each, it remains an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of ancient Egyptian engineering brilliance.

The Great Sphinx:

Believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre, the Great Sphinx is the world’s oldest surviving colossal sculpture. Measuring 240 feet long and 65 feet tall, it was carved directly from limestone bedrock and remains one of Egypt’s most iconic and mysterious monuments.

The Valley Temple:

Built with limestone and polished Aswan granite, this remarkably preserved temple served as the mortuary complex of Pharaoh Khafre. Discovered in 1852, it played a central role in purification and mummification rituals connected to the pyramids.

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM):

Spanning over 490,000 m², the GEM showcases more than 100,000 artifacts covering 7,000 years of history. Its galleries highlight Egypt’s greatest eras—including the Old Kingdom, New Kingdom, and Greco-Roman period—featuring masterpieces like Khufu’s Solar Boat and exclusive treasures displayed for the first time.

The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir:

Founded in the 19th century and built in Neo-Classical style, this museum houses the world’s richest collection of pharaonic antiquities. Its halls contain royal mummies, jewelry, statues, and masterpieces that shaped Egypt’s ancient civilization.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:

Wander through the oldest and most vibrant bazaar in the Middle East, dating back to the 14th century. Its narrow alleys, artisan workshops, and historic architecture reflect the true soul of Islamic Cairo.
