If you are interested, you can pay an extra fee to go inside the Pyramid of Khufu for a visit. Pyramid of Khufu is the largest pyramid in Egypt. Then we will visit the nearby Sphinx, one of the seven ancient architectural wonders of the world. The Sphinx is a mythical monster, or beast, responsible for guarding buildings and graves. The body of the animal represents strength, while the human face represents wisdom. Next is Valley Temple, a collection of tombs of pharaohs and royals.
