Pyramids of Giza

The construction of the pyramid dates from approximately the year 2560 BC, when it was built as a tomb for the pharaoh khufu, and its construction continued over a period of 20 years.
The visitor can see the sarcophagus in which king khufu lay in the upper room known as the king's chamber as this room is accessed through a corridor with a majestic tiered ceiling which is considered a masterpiece of ancient architecture.

- Pyramid of Khafre

It is one of the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. it is built by King Khafre. Lower in height than his father's pyramid (Khufu), it is built on an area of 215 square meters and has two entrances on the northern side. It still retains some of its outer covering at the top.

-Pyramid of Menkaure

It is the smallest of the three main pyramids of the giza pyramid complex located on the giza plateau in the southwestern suburbs of cairo, egypt. It is believed to have been built to serve as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Mykarenus.

Then proceeding to witness: Sphinx
Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this sculpture of a man with the haunches of a lion was dubbed the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks because it resembled their mythical winged monster that set riddles and killed anyone unable to answer them.

Then proceeding to witness: Saqqara (Step Pyramid)
Covering a 7km stretch of the Western Desert, Saqqara, the huge cemetery of ancient Memphis, was an active burial ground for more than 3500 years and is Egypt’s largest archaeological site. The necropolis is situated high above the Nile Valley’s cultivation area, and is the final resting place for deceased pharaohs and their families, administrators, generals and sacred animals. The name Saqqara is most likely derived from Sokar, the Memphite god of the dead.

Titi pyramid
It is entered through a descending corridor that leads to a horizontal corridor, leading to a front room. There are three chambers for storing burial tools on the left, and on the right, on the western side, is the burial chamber whose ceiling is decorated with golden stars on a dark blue background, which reflects the ancient Egyptian idea of the tomb as a microcosm of the universe.

Kagmni Tomb
The Kagmeni Tomb is located east of the Mery Roka cemetery and adjacent to it, and its door opens towards the east. The mastaba consists of seven rooms, most of which are rectangular in shape, all of which are engraved in relief, some of which have excellent views. The first room contains murals, which is a boat made of bundles of papyrus, in which Kamanji stands. The second room contains scenes representing fishing, and below these scenes are inscriptions representing types of fish.
