PRIVATE TOUR
Tour duration: approximately 6 hours

Meet our guide in your hotel lobby at 8:30AM. Spend the morning at the Giza Plateau with the famous Great Pyramid and Sphinx. Dominating the plateau and running in a southwest diagonal through the site are the three pyramids of the pharaohs Khufu, Khafra, and Menkaura. The northernmost, and the largest, one belongs to Khufu. Khafra's pyramid is built precisely on a southwest diagonal to his father's pyramid, as well as having been built on higher ground to create the illusion of being bigger. The pyramid of Menkaura is much smaller and is not aligned along the same diagonal line as the other two pyramids.

The Sphinx is the largest monolith statue in the world and it is the oldest known monumental sculpture.  Commonly held to have been built by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of the Pharaoh Khafra there are some who believe it is much, much older.

Visit the pyramids of the queens, the tombs of the nobles and enjoy a photo op camel ride. Tour ends about 2PM with your transfer back to your hotel.
