And alongside it are the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, all of which your expert guide will explain in more detail how they were used as royal tombs. Just a short stroll from the pyramids is the Great Sphinx, carved right out of the limestone bedrock. The Sphinx Temple nearby adds another layer to the story of this funerary complex.
After Giza, you'll head into the heart of Cairo to visit either the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square or the Grand Egyptian Museum, depending on what time you have. No matter what, you’ll see some of the most incredible artifacts Egypt has to offer. That includes massive statues, ornate coffins, mummified bodies, and of course, the treasure trove of Tutankhamun.
