The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they have historically been common as emblems of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination.They were popularised in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is by far the oldest of the ancient Wonders and the only one still in existence.

We were very glad we chose this package. Given we were in Egypt for only a short amount of time it made it possible for us to see Giza, Sakkara, and Memphis. Our tour guide and driver were very knowledgeable as well. We stopped by papyrus and perfume making shops, which were very cool to see. Overall we had a great experience!

The greats location for me have been Saqqara and Memphis. Also the information provided by the tour guide was very good and nicely presented.
Giza Pyramids have been nice, but too many people at those sites.

Our trip with Mohammed was absolutely amazing. All the good vibes. He has been a tour guide for the past 14 years and it shows - he is knowledgeable and really skilled in hospitality. He takes amazing pictures too!
The driver (could not get the name but I think it was Hamid) was an absolute sweetheart!

Truly a great way to start our Egypt trip.
