   The Giza Pyramids.

   Enjoy a full day journey through some of the most important archaeological treasures of ancient Egypt with visits to the iconic Giza Pyramid Complex, the ancient capital Memphis (ancient Egypt), and the remarkable pyramids of Dahshur. Your tour begins at the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, along with the legendary Great Sphinx.

Although much of the ancient city lies in ruins, you will see impressive relics such as the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. This open-air museum offers a unique glimpse into the political and cultural heart of ancient Egyptian civilization.

   Dahshur Unique Pyramids.
