Things to do & top attractions in Giza 

 

  • Giza Plateau 

No trip to Giza would be complete without going to the Giza Plateau. Considered one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, it houses the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing: the Great Pyramid. And while these Egyptian pharaohs' tombs are astounding in their own right, it's not all you'll tick off your bucket list. Here you’ll also find the legendary Sphinx statue, as well as the many surrounding temple ruins. Tie this trip in with the Sound and Light Show which takes place in the evenings, illuminating the ancient monuments for a breathtaking backdrop against the city.  

 

  • Pharaonic Village 

Get a glimpse into the ancient world of Pharaohs with a trip to this open-air museum. Making a perfect family day out, the village holds a whole host of ancient Egyptian monument replicas from temples to tombs and pyramids. After fixating on the fascinating history of Egypt, head to The Bazaar to browse shops brimming with gifts and souvenirs.  

 

  • The Grand Egyptian Museum 

Opening in 2024, the Grand Egyptian Museum will become the largest museum in the world. The museum will bring objects from all over Egypt including Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor to house over 100,000 artifacts. These will go back to the earliest forms of Egyptian civilization, and will even include the complete Tutankhamun collection.  

 

Experience new activities in Giza 

Whether you’re spending your whole holiday in Giza or coming for a day trip from Cairo — explore this vibrant Egyptian city with flynas. 

  • A camel or horseback adventure around the pyramids 

Camel and horseback rides are a popular part of Egyptian culture, and offer a once in a lifetime experience. Many of these scenic tours will take off at sunrise or sunset, taking you right up to the base of the pyramids. Opt for loose, stretchy clothing that will keep you comfortable throughout. 

  • A trip down the River Nile 

A trip down the River Nile offers a spectacularly special way to see the archaeological treasures and magical vistas of Giza and Egypt. If you really want to do it authentically, consider booking a felucca cruise - this is one of the traditional sailboats constructed from wood and crewed by local sailors.

  • Taste the local cuisine 

Take advantage of one of the oldest cuisines in the Mediterranean with a food tour in Giza. Not only will you taste some of the most authentic dishes around, but you’ll hear the history of how the meals came to be. From Egyptian falafel through to ful medames, shawarma, kebabs, and koftas, you’ll find one commonality: all are served with warm, fluffy breads.
