Loved this trip!
I had such a great day! Seeing the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx in person was amazing. Our tour guide told us so many interesting stories about Khufu and Khafre. Riding a camel on the plateau was a very fun and unique experience. If you’re thinking about it, definitely go for it! I feel like I saw a lot in one day. Next time, I want to check out Khan el Khalili as well. If you’re looking for an easy way to visit the pyramids from Hurghada, this is it!
Full day Egyptian adventure
I always wanted to see the pyramids, and I’m so happy I booked this trip. Walking around the pyramids of Giza and visiting the Valley Temple was unforgettable. It’s surreal to see something so old stand right in front of you. Our tour guide was amazing and made everything easy to follow. I loved seeing some of the ancient Egyptian artifacts at the Egyptian Museum. I’m already planning another trip to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum next!

Another sight you’ll see is the Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone ridge. It represents Pharaoh Khafre and guards the plateau.

Interesting facts about the Pyramids
- The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure for nearly 3,800 years. Today, it's still nearly impossible to recreate its building using just ancient methods.
- The Great Pyramid weighs about 5.9 million tons. Each limestone block weighs between 5 and 10 tons. They were placed with impressive precision, and no cranes were used.
- About 5 million tons of mortar hold the blocks together. Scientists still don’t know the exact formula.
- Pharaohs were seen as gods, and their pyramids held food, clothes, and treasures. These items were meant to help their souls in the afterlife and connect them to the gods.
- Hieroglyphs on the pyramids’ walls show life in ancient Egypt. They also guide pharaohs safely into the afterlife.
- A giant granite coffer sits in the main chamber of the Great Pyramid. The coffer is too large to fit through the passage. So, this raised questions about whether it was brought in or the pyramid was built around it.
- It was believed that the pyramids were built by slaves. However, studies show they were actually built by highly skilled workers.
- The Great Pyramid works as a sundial. Its shadows mark hours, solstices, and equinoxes.
