Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum was a dream come true after long years of waiting. Before you enter the museum, you will approach the only hanging obelisk in the world. Also, you will see the stamp at the bottom of the obelisk with Ramesses’ name. Once you are inside, you will be welcomed by the colossi of Ramesses II, the Victory Column of Merenptah, and 10 limestone statues of Senusret I.
The Grand Staircase offers a unique collection of artifacts such as statues, temple gates, gods, sarcophagi, and a panoramic view of the pyramids. In fact, this staircase tells of Pharaoh’s mission from life to death, starting with kingship, then the king’s mission to build temples for the gods, then died and was buried in a sarcophagus to be placed inside the pyramid. From here, his soul will go to heaven.
Moreover, the open 12 galleries in three rows show everything about kingship, society, and religion. In general, you need a few hours to enjoy the GEM visit and absorb the stories your guide will tell you.

Giza Pyramids Complex
After having your lunch, you will proceed with your guide to the Giza Pyramids. You have to make up your mind in advance if you want to enter the Cheops Pyramid or the Menkaure Pyramid to buy the ticket before you start the tour.
Cheops Pyramid
Your guide will take you to the Great Pyramid to see the only wonder of old times and the surrounding Queen Pyramids and the tombs of pyramid builders. We will try to show you the Pyramids in a different way and answer the questions that have become a need, such as
How old are the pyramids?
Who built the pyramids?
Pyramids were tombs for the kings, or were they old buildings reused?
What’s the relation between the Pyramids are Orion Belt?
Pyramids and healing energy
Why Napoleone insisted to spend night by himself inside the king’s chamber, and what happened later?
Why did Cheops’ heir not build a pyramid but build a mastaba?
Khafre has tomb in the Giza plateau before his pyramid?
Is it true that the small Pyramids for the Queens or?
When we answer all these questions for you, surely you will understand a lot about pyramids, and you may change your mind about what’s written in most of the books.
The Great Sphinx
You will explore the Mummification temple, and you will know aboutthe Opening of the Mouth rituals. Then, you will see the Sphinx from a distance, not between the paws, as it requires a private ticket visit. Your guide will explain to you why, and he will tell you about the rooms inside the body and the second Sphinx discovered two years ago.
Also, you will stop by the Menkaure Pyramid to see that the casing is different and it is made of granite, not limestone.
Finally, we will explain to you the differences between the locations of the pyramids from Giza to Abu Sir to Saqqara and Dahshour. Why they are they aligned, and what were their purposes in ancient times?
At the end of your day, we will drive you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay.
