Your Travel Experience with Travco Egypt
Half day visit Giza Pyramids & Sphinx
the tour guide will take you to the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the world. The pyramids are:
- The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) – the largest and most well-known, originally built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu.
- The Pyramid of Khafre – slightly smaller, but still impressive, and famous for its Valley Temple and proximity to the Sphinx.
- The Pyramid of Menkaure – the smallest of the three.
You will have time to marvel at their scale, learn about their history, and take memorable photos. The guide will share fascinating facts about their construction and the ancient Egyptians’ architectural brilliance. Next, you’ll visit the Great Sphinx of Giza, a monumental limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Khafre. The Sphinx, shrouded in mystery and surrounded by the desert, is one of Egypt’s most recognizable symbols. Your guide will explain the history and legends associated with the Sphinx. If you wish to enhance your visit, there may be an optional camel ride around the pyramids, offering a different perspective of the area and a chance for unique photos.
