Giza Pyramids Complex and Grand Egyptian Museum

Enjoy a full-day tour to the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum.

The Giza Pyramids Complex is home to three of the most iconic pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Built during the Fourth Dynasty around 2600 BCE, these pyramids served as monumental tombs for the pharaohs. The complex also includes the Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is considered the biggest and most modern museum in the world. It contains many of the greatest monuments from ancient Egyptian history, including statues, sarcophagi, and treasures of King Tutankhamun, displayed in very modern showcases. A visit to this museum offers a beautiful introduction to ancient Egyptian history and an unforgettable memory for your life.

You will discover the ancient Egyptian civilization, one of the most advanced civilizations in many fields such as medicine, architecture, engineering, and cosmology. In this museum, you are also going to see the solar boats, which were used in the afterlife and held religious meaning as a way to transfer the king from the west to the east.
