• Pyramids of Giza - The Cairo Layover Tour begins and concludes at Cairo Airport. A GEM Explore Egyptologist will be waiting outside the arrival lounge at the designated pick-up time to commence your journey through Cairo to the Great Pyramids of Giza. Here, you will marvel at the pyramids of King Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. The tour continues with a visit to the Valley Temple of Khafre, where the royal body of Khafre was received. This temple was constructed for King Khafre’s mummification process. Finally, enjoy a close-up view of the Great Sphinx, the guardian of the Pyramids, featuring a lion’s body and King Khafre’s head. (Please note that entering the pyramids requires a special ticket, and the guide will gladly assist.)
• Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid is the only surviving wonder of the ancient seven wonders, standing tall today! It was the tallest building on earth for over 3800 years. The complex includes a valley temple, now beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, though the site remains unexcavated. With your expert Egyptologist, you can explore the entire area.
• Khafre’s Pyramid - The second tallest pyramid in the complex is dedicated to King Chefren or Khafre. The entire complex is well-preserved, allowing you to explore the valley temple and the causeway of King Khafre with your Egyptologist. (Please note that entering the pyramids requires a special ticket, and the guide will gladly assist.)
• Menkaure Pyramid - The smallest pyramid on the Giza plateau, now approximately 61 meters high, is unique due to the granite outer layer that remains on its lower part. The granite was quarried from Aswan, over 1000 kilometers from Giza!
• Panoramic view of the Pyramids - Next, visit a panoramic viewpoint of the six pyramids and the city of Giza, where you will spend 30 minutes taking photos and enjoying the scenery. It’s the perfect spot for a short camel ride.
• Great Sphinx - With the same entry ticket to the pyramids area, you will have a close-up view of the Great Sphinx, the guardian of the Pyramids, with a lion’s body and King Khafre’s head. You will have ample time to take photos with assistance from our representative. Afterward, you will begin your journey back to Cairo International Airport.
