Great Sphinx - Then proceed to see the Sphinx-
Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this statue of a man with a lion’s body was named the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks because it resembled their mythical winged monster that posed riddles and killed those who couldn’t solve them. Geological surveys suggest it was likely carved from bedrock at the bottom of the causeway during Khafre’s reign, probably depicting his features. -
Valley Temple of Khafre - Then move to visit Valley Temple
After exploring the Giza pyramids, visit the Valley Temple of King Khafre, built to mummify his body after death. The Valley Temple of King Khafre is connected to the Great Sphinx, which also belongs to the same king. The Sphinx statue has the head of King Khafre and the body of a lion to guard his pyramid.

- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Then move to visit the Saqqara Step Pyramid
Also known as the “Step Pyramid,” Djoser’s Pyramid is located in the Saqqara Necropolis. The pyramid consists of six mastabas, with galleries and wells dug directly into the rock, where mummies of the royal family were found. The white and turquoise ceramics and the heavy pink granite slabs covering the burial chamber are particularly famous. Also in Saqqara is the tomb of Mehu, recently opened to the public for the first time since its discovery in 1940. This dignitary of the sixth dynasty was buried with the highest honors in a location that, due to its secluded position, survived looter raids and preserved its hieroglyphs in good condition.
