180 min
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The Great Pyramid of Khufu, also called the Pyramid of Cheops, is the largest of the three pyramids at Giza. Built around 2560 BC as Pharaoh Khufu's tomb, it originally stood 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall but now measures about 138.8 meters (455 feet) due to the loss of outer casing stones. Constructed from over 2 million limestone blocks, it was the tallest man-made structure for more than 3,800 years. If selected, visitors can enter inside to see its interior passageways.
60 min
Pyramid Complex of Khafre
The Pyramid of Khafre, built around 2520 BC for Pharaoh Khafre, is the second tallest pyramid at Giza at 136.4 meters (448 feet) high. It appears taller than the Great Pyramid because of its elevated position on the Giza plateau. The pyramid still retains some of its original smooth limestone casing at the top. Nearby stands the Great Sphinx, a 73-meter-long limestone statue with a lion's body and Pharaoh Khafre's head. The Mummification Temple of King Khafre is also part of this complex.
30 min
Pyramid of Menkaure
Built around 2490 BC for Pharaoh Menkaure, this is the smallest of the three pyramids at 65 meters (213 feet) tall. It was constructed with large limestone and granite blocks. The pyramid complex includes a mortuary temple and three smaller pyramids for queens. Although much of the original outer casing has eroded, it remains a significant part of the Giza pyramid group.
30 min
Panoramic View of the Pyramids
This stop provides a wide view of the three main pyramids and the Sphinx from the Giza Plateau. The open area allows visitors to see the scale and alignment of the monuments against the desert background. It is a key spot for photography and observing the layout of the pyramids.
30 min
Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx is a limestone statue measuring 73 meters (240 feet) long and 20 meters (66 feet) high, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. It stands near the Pyramid of Khafre and guards the complex. The nearby Mummification Temple was used for embalming Pharaoh Khafre before burial and includes remains of pillars and architectural details. This site adds to understanding the religious practices connected to the pyramids.
