14 days in Giza Itinerary

Situated on the Nile riverfront, the city of Giza remains best known for its pyramid complex.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Statue of Ramses II and Dahshur lake. Change things up with these side-trips from Giza: Meidum Pyramid (in El Wasta), Saqqara (Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, Mastaba of Ti, &more) and Al Badrashin (Mit Rahina Museum & The Sphinx of Memphis). And it doesn't end there: contemplate the long history of Great Sphinx, explore the ancient world of Pyramids of Giza, learn the secrets of beer at ToBadaa, and admire nature's extreme beauty at Black Desert.
