Embark on a journey back in time with a Day Tour to the Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum, a perfect exploration of ancient Egypt’s wonders. The Giza Plateau is home to some of the most magnificent monuments in history, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which has stood for over 4,500 years as a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and ingenuity.
This architectural marvel, the largest of the three pyramids, was originally covered in smooth limestone casing stones that shimmered in the sunlight, earning it the name “Ikhet” or “Glorious Light.” Alongside it stands the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, each with its unique history and features.

The museum also features an extensive collection of mummies, including those of powerful pharaohs like Ramses II and Seti I, allowing visitors to witness the intricate mummification techniques central to ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife.
