Cairo Day Tour from Luxor by Air

The magnificent Giza Pyramids Complex stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the ancient Egyptian civilization, which flourished for over 4,500 years. This remarkable site features the iconic three pyramids of Giza, six smaller pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple, all of which together create a breathtaking showcase of architectural achievement and cultural significance.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu was constructed around 2600 BC under the guidance of Hemiunu, the vizier of Pharaoh Khufu. This architectural marvel stands 147 meters tall and is made from approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks. Inside, it houses several chambers, including the King’s Chamber, the Queen’s Chamber, and the Grand Hall, along with many other hidden wonders.

The Great Sphinx is a holy guardian that came from the heavens in 2500 to protect the wonders of the Giza plateau. It holds the facial features of King Khafre who ruled from 2558 BC to 2532 BC with the body of a lion.

The Valley Temple, often referred to as the “House of Transformation,” is a significant structure that dates back to 2700 BC. It served as the focal point of the mummification process, safeguarding the bodies of the royal family from the 4th Dynasty by facilitating their transformation into mummies.
