Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Camel Ride

• Your tour representative will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to begin your Giza tour.
• Discover one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), along with the 3 small pyramids.
• Continue exploring the rest of the Giza Plateau, including the sight of Khafre's (Kaphren) Pyramid, the second-largest pyramid on the Giza site, the remains of the funerary temple, and the Pyramid of Mankawra (Mykerinus) with its 3 small pyramids.
• Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, dating from the time of Chephren. You will also visit the Valley Temple, which belongs to the pyramids of Chephren. This temple definitely served two functions: first, it was used for the purification of the mummy of the king before burial; second, it was used for carrying out the king's mummification process.
• After visiting the pyramids, continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands.
• During your 1-hour camel ride, you will see all that Giza has to offer. You will visit the Giza Plateau, where you can see and touch the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. A photographer will be with you during the entire excursion to capture the very best photos.
• Return to your hotel.
