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.

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.

- 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.
