All other reliefs and statues were found in fragments, and many buildings of Khufu are lost. Everything known about Khufu comes from inscriptions in his necropolis at Giza and later documents. For example, Khufu is the main character noted in the Westcar Papyrus from the 13th dynasty.

Mahmoud Ismail 1000/10 tour guide
Mahmoud Ismail 10000/10 tour guide. Lovely gentleman took lots of great pictures of us and knew all the best spots! Food provided was a paid for buffet at a nearby restaurant too which we were happy with :) Amazing knowledge on everything, went into great detail about all and you can tell he really enjoyed what he did! Thank you Mahmoud!!
Beautiful views - not worth the trip just open google
The museum and the pyramid were exactly as expected no disappointment there. Views were lovely The tour guide however turned up to the airport late and didn’t accompany us back. Majority of the tour seemed to be him taking us to his friends shops so they could try to get us to buy overpriced stuff. Then we got back to the airport 5 hours early so had to wait a long time hungry.
Excursion to Cairo by plane to visit the sights
Anticipated an exciting day at the Egyptian museum and seeing the pyramids and sphinx. An hour delay at the airport in the coach- given 3 different reasons for the delay. Excellent knowledgable tour guide but be warned there is no air con in the building so after an hour you feel like passing out. Extra charge announced for trip on felucca down the Nile and if don’t opt to pay £10 you just sit on the coach for 40 minutes.
Andrew Is The Best!
Amazing tour of Cairo! Andrew was a great guide showing us all the great things in Cairo and educating us on the beautiful history. We highly recommend Andrew if you are booking this day trip.
