On your Egyptian Pyramids tour, explore the ancient pyramids and remaining artifacts created thousands of years ago. Visit the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. These pyramids were used as burial tombs for a father, son, and grandson in the 4th Dynasty. Also known as Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the pyramids appear much smaller in pictures than they actually are. When you see them in person, you will be amazed by their epic size.
In addition to the pyramids, you will also see the Great Sphinx on your Egypt tour. Known as one of the biggest and oldest statues throughout the world, this iconic structure continues to provide visitors with mystery and awe. You'll also visit the Valley Temple, a funerary complex that was once part of Khafre. The exact purpose of the Valley Temple has been debated; it might have been used for the process of mummification or for other religious practices involving death. After your Valley Temple tour, your knowledgeable and English - speaking guide will take you to tour the Egyptian Museum. In this museum, you will see artifacts from the Pharaonic period. Also, you will see a collection of art dating back to 5,000 years ago. This rare series of exhibits is known as the largest collection of Egyptian art in the entire world. King Tutankhamen's collection of gold, treasure, and jewelry is on display, as well. His extensive collection was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in 1920.
Each tour has a private English Egyptologist guide who can answer your questions and can shower you with information about what you're seeing. This comprehensive tour offers a fun and informative way to see the Pyramids, Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the Egyptian Museum.
