The Giza pyramid complex, also called the Giza Necropolis, is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers' village.The site is at the edges of the Western Desert, approximately 9 km (5 mi) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 km (8 mi) southwest of the city centre of Cairo.The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they have historically been common as emblems of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination.[1][2] They were popularised in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Khafre's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860.
Menkaure's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king's pyramid. The valley temple once contained several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added on to the valley temple.
The Great Sphinx lies on the east side of the complex. Current consensus among Egyptologists is that the head of the Great Sphinx is that of Khafre. Along with these major monuments are a number of smaller satellite edifices, known as "queens" pyramids, causeways and valley pyramids
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. Built in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani to a design by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the edifice is one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public. In 2020 the museum is due to be superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at GizaThe Egyptian Museum of Antiquities contains many important pieces of ancient Egyptian history. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities. The Egyptian government established the museum built in 1835 near the Ezbekeyah Garden
Khan el-Khalili (Arabic: ) is a famous bazaar and souq (or souk) in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. The bazaar district is one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike. It is also home to many Egyptian artisans and workshops involved in the production of traditional crafts and souvenirs.
Khufu's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found but the site has not been excavated. The valley temple was connected to a causeway which was largely destroyed when the village was constructed.

I had a wonderful time in Cairo because of Emo Tours. On my first day , brother Rahman took me to the famous Nile Cruise, where I had an absolute blast, Rahman is an absolute gem of a person and we had alot of fun. The next day was my full day tour to Giza Pyramids & Egyptian Museum & the Citadel, my guid Abdul Wahid was absolutely fantastic, he's a very knowledgeable, humble guy who actually wants the tourists to have an amazing experience (I'm truly thankful to him as he made my day an absolute eventful one). A very big shout out to Mr. Waheed (The driver of the car on my full day tour), an absolute delight of a person. All in all I highly highly highly recommend Emo Tours to everyone who's in Cairo. Keep up the amazing work guys, I'll definitely see you guys very soon :)

Nous avons réservé sur emo tours une excursion d’une demi journée avec chauffeur et déjeuner. - points négatif : Le guide ( parlant français) du non de Memdouh ( si mes souvenirs sont bon) est venu nous chercher le matin à l’hôtel avec le chauffeur , chauffeur adorable et tres serviable (Hihab). Une fois arrivée , au moment de payer les tickets ( pris en charge par l’agence) le guide a voulu payer moins cher nos tickets soit disant pour nous offrir un cadeau à la fin avec la différence de l’argent que nous avons dépenser pour cette excursion. Il a voulu faire ça à chaque monument , chaque entrée nous laissant attendre plusieurs minutes en faisant venir le directeur des differents endroits . Nous nous sommes senti très mal à l’aise en lui disant que de toute façon nous avions payer le prix de l’entrée dans sa totalité. Ce guide s’est montrée à plusieurs reprises très nerveux en se disputant avec d’autres personnes ( dont un policier ) Au lieu de faire une excursion nous avons aussi visiter les pyramides. Il a pu par moment nous pressée. nous avons fait un tour en chameau à un prix 2 x plus élevé que la normal. Au moment du déjeuner nous apprenons que les boissons ne sont pas comprises dans le repas.le guide nous a emmmené dans plusieurs boutiques . La première était une boutiques d’antiquité avec des prix exorbitant. Boîte de bijoux en bois à 35 euros . La deuxième était une boutique où il fabriquait et vendait des papyrus ( 130 euros le papyrus A5) La troisième boutique vendait des parfums de fleurs sans alcool avec une box contenant 6 petit parfum à 200 euros. ( le lendemain nous avons demander à une personne qui parle bien la langue de demander le prix du grand flacon :10 euros alors que nous avons payer le petit :30 euros . Pour se détendre un peu nous avons fait un tour en bateau à voile ( flouka) sans moteur, le tour est à 20 livres égyptiens nous avons payer 20 euros par personne. Pendant le tour en bateau le guide n’a pas arrête de parler ils voulait absolument qu’on l’écoute parlait alors que nous étions là pour nous détendre . On lui a parlé d’une croisière en bateau il a commencer à passer des coups de fil par ci par la , Il parlait très fort il nous donnait les informations alors que nous les voulions pas nous voulions juste profiter du moment . Une fois le tour en bateau terminer nous sommes allée au souk ils nous a dit de pas rentrer dans les magasins et de l’attendre pour négocier les prix or il nous a emmener dans des magasins qu’il connaissait . Par curiosité nous sommes allée dans une boutique qui vendait les mèmes antiquités avec une differences de 50 euros . Des que nous lui en avons parlé il s’est énervé et à crier sur nous en français pour que tout le monde sache que nous ne sommes pas d’ici . Une boutique similaire qui vend de l’Antiquité qu’il connaît vendait la même antiquité 30 euros plus cher que la boutique où nous avions demander le prix . Des que nous avons commencer à lui dire que nous étions pas d’accord avec son comportement et que ce n’était pas correct il s’est immédiatement énervé et nous a menacée de nous laisser au milieu du souk et de nous attendre dans la voiture. Nous avions compris qu’il se faisait du bénéfice sur tous les achats de ses clients. Le lendemain nous avons appeler l’agence Emo Tours en expliquant le comportement du guide . Le monsieur au bout du fil nous a insulté en disant que nous n’avions rien à faire dans ce pays ( qui est mon pays natal )il a aussi insulté mes parents et les arabes ) Nous avons appeler le siège qui a dit qu’il règlerais la situation. - Points positif : Le chauffeur du non de Hihab était très serviable et très gentil avec une conduite très douce . Je recommande Mille fois ce chauffeur . Le guide avait une bonne connaissance des lieux , monuments que nous avons visités . Pour conclure je ne recommande absolument pas cette agence qui est très très cher 200 euros la journée et le guide qui vous arnaque en vous faisant payer des articles 3 x plus cher pour faire un bénéfice à mettre dans sa poche .

Si el museo están a punto de trasladarlo al nuevo no deberían cobrar entrada como si entrásemos al Louvre o al Británico. Da pena. La vigilancia brilla por su ausencia y en la sala de momias algún que otro guía descansa apoyado sobre la urna de una momia de 5000 años como si estuviera en la barra del bar.

Egipto; mi mayor sueño desde niña. Quiza hasta la realidad fue mas bonita que los sueños gracias a las excursiones que contratamos mi pareja y yo.. Lo primero de todo, el precio, ridiculo,lo cogimos por Getyourguide, creo q fueron 15€ por persona todo el dia. Eso incluia chofer con coche (nos recogia y devolvia hotel; un gustazo porque El Cairo es infinitament grande) y guia local con perfecto español. Mas de ocho horas explicandonos con alegria, energia,haciendonos fotos, dandonos nuestro espacio si queriamos y repito, una guia y un chofer exclusivament para nosotros durante todo el dia... Es una sensación reconfortante para nosotros estar en las mismisimas piramides de Keops, sin apenas turistas, con una guia maravillosa q nunca se cansaba de explicarnos y q estuvieramos bien. En el Museo del cairo fue un bombardeo de informacion de 3 horas y pico pero tremendamente interesante. Por ponerle alguna pega; nos daba pena porque esta gente maravillosa se desvivia por nosotros y era una sensación como de casi servidumbre por el poco turismo quiza que hay...Obviamente para el turista es una gran ventaja.
