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.

An excellent trip although very hot. The organisation on the ground was excellent and the boat on which we cruised up the Nile from Luxor to Aswan could not be faulted. We saw the pyramids near Cairo, tombs in the Valley of the Kings and temples in Luxor and Aswan and along the way. A splendid insight into the far past of Egypt.

I finally made it to Egypt after years of wishing, and it did not disappoint in any way. Of course the pyramids are awesome.. but so are the people, the weather, the Nile scenery, the birds, the souks, the food, the coffee, the boats (cruise boat, small motor boat, felucca), the museums, hotels, temples.. everything.
