About this experience
Of course, the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure are the main landmarks of Giza. But did you know that there are not three, but nine pyramids on the plateau? Where is the creator of Khufu's pyramid buried? Where does the wife of Pharaoh Khafre rest and who accompanies her on the journey to eternity? It seems that time has hidden so much from us. But we will be your guides to the world of Ancient Egypt and reveal some of the secrets of Giza.
What to Expect
Starting with the Most Famous
Of course, first we will explore the three famous pyramids - Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The guide will tell you many interesting and non-trivial facts about the ancient Egyptian kingdom.
Tomb of the Architect Hemiunu
We will find it not far from the great pyramids of Giza. Hemiunu is considered to be the creator of the famous Khufu's pyramid.
Tomb of Queen Meresankh III
This unique tomb in its style and architecture was built for the wife of Pharaoh Khafre. You will be amazed by the rich wall paintings of the tomb and the magnificent statues accompanying the queen on her journey to eternity.
