Egypt's iconic wonder: the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx

Two of the most well-known and long-lasting monuments of ancient Egypt are the Great Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza. Just beyond Cairo, these enormous constructions still astound guests with their scale, mystery, and historical importance. On all Cairo visits, the Great Pyramid of Cheops is a must-see as the final surviving wonder of the ancient world. Just next to it stands the half-human, half-lion Sphinx above the desert plateau.

Expert-guided pyramid tours let many visitors choose a Cairo day trip that allows in-depth investigation, optional pyramid access, camel rides, and panoramic photo possibilities. The Giza Plateau is a remarkable feature whether your trip to Egypt is first-time or returning to see more.
