Explore Egyptian engineering marvels situated on the western side of the Nile! Don’t miss a chance to discover the pyramids of Giza, Luxor Temple, Colossi of Memnon that date back thousands and thousands of years. Feel the impression of closeness to Egyptian architecture and take your time to explore Egyptian buildings decorated with paintings, carved stone images, hieroglyphs, and three-dimensional statues. Camels, pyramids, friendly locals, souvenirs, and an amazing dessert – all these create a unique atmosphere.
Built during a time when Egypt was one of the richest and most powerful civilizations in the world, the pyramids—especially the Great Pyramids of Giza—are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history. Their massive scale reflects the unique role that the pharaoh, or king, played in ancient Egyptian society. Though pyramids were built from the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the close of the Ptolemaic period in the fourth century A.D., the peak of pyramid building began with the late third dynasty and continued until roughly the sixth (c. 2325 B.C.). More than 4,000 years later, the Egyptian pyramids still retain much of their majesty, providing a glimpse into the country’s rich and glorious past.
