Giza tours and things to do
The Great Pyramids and the Sphinx
The Giza Plateau is home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx. A private Giza pyramids tour with an Egyptologist guide lets you pick the best viewpoints, avoid the busiest hours and understand what you are looking at. The Grand Egyptian Museum is close by, so many travellers pair the pyramids and the museum in a single day.
