Here stands the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. See the three major pyramids or tombs, built by the Pharaohs Cheops, his son Chephren and Chephern’s son Mykerinus, where their mummified bodies would rest for eternity. Situated in front of the pyramids of Chephren, is the guardian of this ancient mortuary complex: the legendary Great Sphinx. This monumental statue, with the body of a lion and head of a human, was carved from a single piece of Giza Plateau bedrock and is considered a national symbol of both ancient and modern Egypt. Your lunch will be serving at a local restaurant. Then proceed to the Egyptian Antiquities Museum. Opened in 1902, the museum has over 107 halls displaying the world’s largest and richest collection of Egyptian antiquities, including statues, mummies and the priceless treasures of King Tutankhamen.
