The Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of King Khafre are among Egypt’s most iconic and mysterious landmarks. The Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, is widely believed to represent King Khafre, guarding the Giza Plateau for over 4,500 years. Measuring 73 meters long and 20 meters high, it is one of the largest and oldest statues in the world.

“Excellent Service”
I had Waleed help me arrange a 3 day tour of Cairo along with airport pickup and drop. I was pretty impressed with the way it was handled right from the start to the end. Waleed got Nabil (Our Driver for three days) and Abdulrahman (Our guide for the 3 days) for us and we were not disappointed. Both were extremely professional and Abdul in particular was very knowledgeable and helped to explain facts very clearly ad my kids (especially my son) enjoyed that a lot. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and they are totally professional in their approach and handling their clients. Job well done and kudos to the team. Regards Aditya
