Originally standing approximately 146 meters (481 feet) tall, it remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for nearly four millennia.

The highlight of this tour is your thrilling ATV (Quad Bike) ride across the desert surrounding the Giza Pyramids.
After receiving a comprehensive safety briefing from experienced instructors, you’ll set off on an exciting off-road journey through the golden sands.
Unlike riding inside the archaeological site, the ATV adventure takes place in the surrounding desert, where you can enjoy incredible views of the pyramids while experiencing the excitement of driving across open terrain.
The ride is suitable for both beginners and experienced riders.
