About this activity

Explore Egypt's most iconic monuments—the three Great Pyramids, the enigmatic Sphinx, and the ancient Valley Temple—on a curated half-day tour from Cairo. This private experience combines archaeological significance with cultural immersion, including a meal at a traditional Egyptian restaurant.

Go back to the time of the pharaohs and discover their history by visiting the great Giza Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. Visit the legendary Sphinx, which has the body of a lion and a human head, and the Valley Temple, then enjoy your lunch at Egyptian local restaurant.
