The 4th dynasty’s legacy is where the three paralleled pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus lie. The three pearls are fascinating structures that are remarkable in both their cultural significance and their architecture.
The oldest and largest of the three pyramids belongs to Pharaoh Cheops, also known as Khufu, and it’s the last of the still-existing Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Great Sphinx:
Another pearl of the Giza Plateau is the impressive Sphinx. It’s one of the largest and best known carved sculptures in history. It features the body of a lion with a human head to represent for wisdom and intensity of the pharaoh.
The Sphinx is believed to be devoted to King Chephren (2558-2532 BC) and it had been carved out of a single block of limestone.
The Valley Temple:
It’s one of the Giza Plateau’s treasures which was used to purify the mummy of Pharaoh Khafre. It features impressive statues of the pharaoh and the Goddess Hathor.

Saqqara Step Pyramid:
The Step Pyramid was established in 2700 BC during the reign of the third dynasty to carry the tomb of King Djoser (2721-2780 BC). The pyramid is located in Saqqara area and it’s called the “Step Pyramid” due to its six mastabas, which feature the construction.

The citadel, one of Cairo’s most impressive legacies, is a medieval Islamic fortress with a strategic position, playing a defensive role for the cities of Cairo and Al Fustat.

I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
