All other reliefs and statues were found in fragments, and many buildings of Khufu are lost. Everything known about Khufu comes from inscriptions in his necropolis at Giza and later documents. For example, Khufu is the main character noted in the Westcar Papyrus from the 13th dynasty.

Others were found during successive excavations by Sieglin (1909–10), Junker, Reisner,

Thanks for a great trip! - My first time in Egypt was very good! I'm glad we used this tour for Giza. It is very difficult to choose our own transport in Egypt, and this tour was very good because we could leave our large luggage in the car and go sightseeing without it. The explanations were very good and easy to understand. You can have Egyptian food for lunch. Very tasty. I am very glad we booked this tour. To Sayed Mahmoud: Thank you very much for a very enjoyable day!

GREAT TOUR, GREAT COMPANY - We absolutely loved our two days with Emu tours. We had Tonsi look after us along with a great driver on day one. He took us to see the pyramids of Giza and the sphinx. He also took us to an incredible perfume shop and was so incredibly knowledgeable. We couldnt recommend him highly enough! He also organised our driver for the second day we were in Giza straight away and planned everything for us. No question! Yoseff was our driver day two and he was also sensational. He took us to saqqara, Memphis and the red pyramid. When we asked if he could take us somewhere nice for lunch, he took us to the most beautiful traditional Egyptian restaurant. Not only that but he organised it all so that he would take us to the airport after we were done to catch our flight out. Thank you Tonsi, Yoseff and emu tours for making our Cairo experience one to remember.

The Best Pyramids/Cairo Experience - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide and driver. We were concerned about coming on our trip and not being able to enjoy the pyramids. It was very clear that our guide Ahmed Essam not only has been doing these tours for a while, but that almost everyone that works in and around the pyramids know him. We felt incredibly safe, and we were never haggled or harassed. & this was in and around the pyramids. As soon as he caught anyone getting near us, he cut them off very quickly. We greatly appreciated him. We just wanted to learn about the pyramids and enjoy our opportunity to be there. He helped us grab falafel, as requested. He helped us negotiate with vendors for better prices. & we rode camels! We specified which souvenirs we were looking for and he helped us find them. He did offer additional activities (papyrus paper and something else), we nicely told him no thank you and he did not bother us. Also greatly appreciated. Thank you Ahmed. We know you truly made our experience that day, and we will never forget it.

Fantastic family tour of Cairo. The best I've ever been on. - We had a wonderful day touring Cairo. We were picked up right on time at our hotel by our guide Ahmed and "the world's best driver" Mr. Hamdy. It was just my family of 5 and the guys and we had a terrific time driving around exploring the city. The fellas had a great sense of humour so we had a lot of laughs and they made the day fun. Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously very proud of his country. I usually do stuff myself but in this case I would highly recommend booking a tour. They just made everything so easy. I packed quite a bit into the day (we also did the falacca and the camel ride) so Ahmed was very good about tailoring his approach to our family which included 3 teenagers LOL. I will forever be grateful for them making it it such a special day.

A great tour of Modern and Historical Egypt - Highly Recommended - We were met at our hotel on-time by Hosni from Emo. We visited the Pyramids and Sphinx (going into the middle pyramid) in early morning. Hosni was a great tour-guide for all questions, both cultural and historical, giving our entire family a great sense of comfort and security from the start. After a nice lunch, we toured some of the Coptic Christian churches before visiting the Citadel. We finished our time with Emo and Hosni in Cairo by touring the bazaar and the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Again, Hosni was culturally astute, answered all of our questions and gave an excellent insight into both historical and modern Egypt. For a family of five with teenagers, we strongly recommend this company, especially as they helped tailor our tour and all transfers throughout our stay in Egypt. Full marks!

Experience of a Lifetime - This was an Amazing trip and its all thanks to our guide Mahmoud. Seeing the Giza Pyramids was unbelievable but learning about history of all of the pyramids we visited and the history of all of Egypt sets the trip a part from all others. We definitely want to come back and see more parts of Egypt. I’ll always check for Emo Tours Egypt and Mahmoud when I do come back. Mahmoud went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and had a great time.

Review on the visit with Mr. Ansary - The guide, Mr. Ansary, is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He tried his best to ensure I had the best experience whilst in Egypt. I did not have a photographer and he became one and he gave me some insights into the ancient Egyptian history. Additionally, he gave me sufficient warnings ensure that I am safe from any hustlers and kept the ones that did away. Hence, I would strongly recommend you request for Ansary as your tour guide while booking trip. You can thank me later. Have a safe trip in Egypt!! Adios Amigos

Best Cairo Tour Guide - Ayman Gabry - I booked the tour EXTREMELY last minute, however Ayman showed up fast and with huge smile on face. To say the entire day was a MAJOR success would be an understatement. Ayman is AMAZING and so kind. He is patient and doesn't try to sell any extra stuff. He actually goes out of his way to make sure you don't spend anymore money. We got an amazing tour with the best tour guide I've ever had. A good snack, then lunch, offered us bottled water every other minute. If you are in Cairo, book with Emo yours and ask for Ayman Gabry!
