Giza Pyramids Complex
The Giza Pyramids Complex is a monumental masterpiece, built around 2600 BC, designed to ensure the Pharaohs’ passage to the afterlife. Explore these vast structures that have fascinated humanity for millennia.
The Great Pyramid of Giza
Built around 2570 BC, the Great Pyramid, the last remaining of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stands as a testament to the genius of its architect, Hemiunu. This monumental structure rises to 147 meters and continues to awe visitors with its precision and grandeur.
The Great Sphinx
This legendary figure, carved by Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC), combines the face of the Pharaoh with the body of a lion. Guarding the Giza plateau, the Sphinx embodies the strength and wisdom of ancient Egypt.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
A treasure trove of ancient Egyptian artifacts, the Grand Egyptian Museum is a colossal cultural hub.

Estar en Luxor por un solo día es preferible a quedarse fuera. Las principales atracciones de Luxor se pueden ver en un día. Puedes ir a Templo de Hatshepsut, el Valle de los Reyes, Templo de Karnak y posiblemente uno o dos monumentos más en una excursión de un día a Luxor. La respuesta sincera sería que una excursión de un día a Luxor es insuficiente.
Con frecuencia se lo describe como el museo al aire libre más grande del mundo y por una buena causa. Es posible que allí encuentres un montón de ruinas, monumentos, templos y tumbas. Necesitarás al menos dos días de excursiones de un día a Egipto para descubrir todo lo que Luxor tiene para ofrecer sin prisas.
A menos que viaje con un grupo de turistas, visitar Luxor por su cuenta puede resultar bastante estresante. Luxor tiene tantos sitios arqueológicos y cosas que hacer que recorrer cada templo y cementerio puede llevar varios días y mucho dinero.
No hay tarifas fijas con taxímetro para los taxis en Luxor, aunque dependiendo de sus habilidades de negociación, la mayoría de los viajes costarán entre 5 y 150 libras egipcias (aproximadamente entre 0,50 y 17 dólares). Uber y otros servicios de transporte no están disponibles en Luxor.
Deberías reservar unos 200 dólares para las excursiones a Luxor, que probablemente implicarían visitar Luxor y Templos de Karnak. Templos de Cisjordania y el Valle de los Reyes y reinas. Paseos en faluca al atardecer.
Viajar nos ha ayudado a entender el significado de la vida y nos ha ayudado a ser mejores personas. Cada vez que viajamos, vemos el mundo con nuevos ojos.
