Sightseeing in Giza

A holiday to Giza is an ideal opportunity to visit the sacred pyramids and the Sphinx. The largest of the 3 pyramids, Cheops, was constructed from over 2.5 million limestone blocks and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World that remains completely intact. The pyramids date back to 2560 BC and are a must-see when you visit. Other great things to see on your holiday to Giza include the Solar Barque museum, where you can see an ancient boat that was made to help Pharaohs in the afterlife. Another popular attraction is the Pyramids Sound and Light Show, which is a fun way to spend the evening with the whole family.

Explore Giza

On a holiday to Giza, you'll be just 20km from Cairo, where you will find a blend of traditional Egypt with all the amenities of a modern city. Make a beeline for the Khan El-Khalili souk, a huge market where you will find fantastic bargains on jewellery, glass and ceramics for that perfect gift to take home. If you’re on a family holiday, Cairo is only ten minutes from the Dream Park and Magic Land theme parks, which is ideal for keeping the kids occupied for the whole day. For something different, head to the Cairo tower and take in the breath-taking panoramic views of the city and Giza.

If you want to venture out a bit further on your holiday, why not visit Luxor to see the famous ruins of the Temple of Karnak? Afterwards, marvel at the avenue of the Sphinx and the tombs at the Valley of the Kings, finishing up with a visit to Tutankhamun's burial chamber. You can also take a cruise down the Nile, ride a camel through the desert or a balloon ride down to the Aswan dam – there's so much choice.
