You will have the chance to see one of the world's most important collections of ancient artifacts at The Egyptian Museum. Afterwards, explore a trio of pyramids and the Valley Temple, then visit the ancient and mysterious sphinx. 

The Egyptian Museum was founded in the 19th century by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette to house the world’s most valuable collection of its kind. The objects were moved in 1891 to the palace of Ismail Pasha in Giza before being transferred in 1902 to the current building at Tahrir Square.

The royal pyramid complexes, which include temples, causeways, and satellite pyramids, are surrounded by tombs of the elite-members of the royal family, the nobility, and the priesthood. At the foot of the plateau, south of the Great Sphinx, lie the Cemetery and Town of the Pyramid Builders, where the men and women who constructed the royal and elite tombs on the main plateau lived, worked, and were buried.
