Giza Pyramids Complex:

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

The Great Sphinx:
Next, stand before the enigmatic Great Sphinx, the colossal guardian of the plateau with the body of a lion and the head of a king, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. Measuring 73 meters long and 20 meters high, the Sphinx remains one of history’s most mysterious monuments.
The Valley Temple:
Continue to the Valley Temple of Khafre, part of the pyramid’s funerary complex. Built from giant granite blocks, it once hosted the sacred mummification rituals of the king. Its preserved walls and floors reveal the precision and spirituality of ancient craftsmanship.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a quality local restaurant before your guide takes you to the city’s most anticipated cultural attraction.

Salah El-Din Citadel:
Continue to the majestic Cairo Citadel of Salah El-Din, built between 1176 and 1183 to defend the city against Crusader attacks. For centuries it served as the seat of government and royal residence. From its high walls, enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline.
Mohamed Ali Mosque:
Within the Citadel stands the splendid Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, built between 1830 and 1848 by Mohamed Ali Pasha. Its massive central dome, twin minarets, and luminous alabaster walls exemplify Ottoman grandeur and mark the dawn of modern Egypt.
