- Pyramids of Giza - The tour guide will pick guests up from their hotel to embark on a day exploring the pyramids. Among Egypt’s top tourist destinations, the Pyramids of Giza stand out as the most iconic. These are the three primary pyramids of Egypt, constructed during the 4th Dynasty (around 2550 B.C). In ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for royalty, a privilege reserved for the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
Today, Egypt boasts over 93 pyramids, with the most renowned located at Giza.
Let’s take a tour around the pyramid site and appreciate the grandeur of the area:
- Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - The renowned Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest, tallest, and most well-preserved pyramid in Egypt. It was recognized as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” and remains the only one still in existence. For 4,300 years, it held the title of the tallest structure on earth until the Eiffel Tower was erected in 1889.
Khufu’s Pyramid, made entirely of limestone, is an architectural marvel. It comprises approximately 1,300,000 blocks, each weighing between 2.5 to 15 tons. Its square base spans 13 acres, with sides measuring about 230m (755ft). The pyramid’s four sides align precisely with the cardinal points and have an angle of 52 degrees.
-
Khafre’s Pyramid - Known as the 2nd Pyramid, Khafre’s Pyramid is easily identified by the remnants of its original casing stones near the top. Its position on a higher plateau gives the illusion of being taller than the Great Pyramid, though it stands at 136m (446 ft) with sides of 214.5m (704ft), covering 11 acres with a 53-degree angle. Over time, it has lost some height, originally measuring 143.5m (471ft).
-
Menkaure Pyramid - Built by Khafre’s son, Menkaure, this is the smallest of the three main pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Initially 65.5m (215ft) tall, it now stands at 62m (203ft), with sides of 105m (344ft) and an angle of 51.3 degrees. It is believed that the pyramid was expanded during construction, increasing its size from the original plan. The initial smaller pyramid featured a simple descending corridor and burial chamber, but with its enlargement, a new corridor with three portcullises and a small paneled chamber was added. Later, an additional burial chamber and storeroom were constructed at a lower level. Like its neighbors, this pyramid has a north-facing entrance.
-
Great Sphinx - The Great Sphinx, known to the ancients as “Shesep Ankh” or “the living image,” is one of history’s most recognizable structures. The Sphinx is synonymous with Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Carved from soft sandstone, it might have eroded away if not for being buried in sand for extended periods. The body measures 60m (200ft) in length and 20m (65ft) in height, with a face 4m (13ft) wide and eyes 2m (6ft) high. It faces the rising sun and was so revered by the ancients that they constructed a temple in front of it. After the tour, guests will be returned to their hotel.
