The Giza Pyramid Complex, also called the Giza Necropolis, is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, between 2600 and 2500 BC. The site also includes several cemeteries and the remains of a workers village.
The Giza Plateau (Arabic: هضبة الجيزة‎) is a plateau in Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, site of the Fourth Dynasty Giza Necropolis, which includes the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers' village and an industrial complex.
Khufu's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found but the site has not been excavated.[5][6] The valley temple was connected to a causeway which was largely destroyed when the village was constructed. The causeway led to the Mortuary Temple of Khufu. Of this temple, the basalt pavement is the only thing that remains.
Khafre's pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860.

Traveler reviews
Very good tour
The guide, Omar mostafaa very friendly and attentive. He has accompanied us at all times and has taken care of everything. He's been explaining every pyramid to us.
Wonderful and memorable experience 😊
The tour was very awesome! We went to see the pyramids and even went close to the biggest one. The camel ride is a must do. The tour guide, Sayed Mahmoud, had given us informative facts. He was very nice to us and made sure that we enjoyed the tour. He took nice photos that will always remind us of our great experience. Ahmed, our driver, was always ready to pick us up and he even provided cold water in the middle of the day. They took us to a nice restaurant that served good food. They both made sure that we were comfortable the entire day. Will definitely recommend Emo Tours to our friends and family.
Beautiful one day tour
We had a memorable private tour with Emo Tours Egypt. Our tour guide Sayed Mahmoud was excellent, Sayed and the driver were very professional and well coordinated they took care of us in every way. We went to the Pyramids, the Sphinx Statues, Camel ride, the old Cairo, the papyrus factory, had a wonderful lunch and, sailing in the Nile. I mentioned I like mangoes he made a stop and came back with a bag of mangoes, that was a nice touch. My husband and I highly recommend this tour operator.
