Egypt Pyramid Tours

A visit to the Egyptian pyramids provides a fascinating insight into a long-vanished world. The Giza pyramid site, compromising the Great Pyramids of Cheops (or Giza), Chephren and Mycerinus; the timeless and enigmatic Sphinx; and palaces and other monuments, was begun by Pharaoh Khufu around 2550 BC. This was when Egypt was one of the richest and powerful civilizations in the world. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World, and these are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history.

Egypt’s pharaohs expected to become gods in the afterlife, and to prepare for the next world they filled their massive pyramid tombs with all the things they’d need to guide and sustain themselves when there. To put the size of the pyramids into perspective, the Great Pyramid of Cheops is 138m in height and was the tallest human-made structure in the world until England’s Lincoln Cathedral was completed in the 14th century. It’s estimated that the pyramid’s 2.3 million stone blocks each weighs between 2.5 and 15 tons. Experience the scale for yourself by joining one of The Pyramids of Egypt tours Exodus offers.

Alexandria to Abuu Simbel.: Egypt from top to bottom! This trip packed so much into 11 days, yet it never felt rushed. The archaeological sites are awe-inspiring, in terms of their size, antiquity and elaborate carvings and wall paintings. No amount of looking at photos will prepare you for what you see in person.

Michael Bates Egypt: Alexandria to Aswan

Early mornings & long days but we’ll worth the effort. Enthusiastic & knowledgeable guide. A great introduction to all Egypt has to offer – history, pyramids, temples and more. Beautiful scenery while cruising along the Nile. Highly recommend!

Dawn Ballard Nile Cruise

Just returned from the Nile Cruise trip. And what a trip, visited some amazing sites, with my highlight being the tomb of Tutankhamun. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, full of historic stories but his ‘people’ skills could have been better. The trip is full on with many early starts but worth the lack of sleep for the breath taking sites. Would recommend booking an extra day/s at the end to chill and relax in Aswan. Overall I would recommend this trip.
