Location: Pyramids of Giza

This is a Once in a Lifetime opportunity to see this iconic monument up close, most tourists will never again this sort of access and no major tour companies can offer this experience.

It's a private visit with extra fees needs special permissions (10 - 14 days).

As the sun rises over the Giza Plateau with the Great Pyramid towering behind us, we will stand in the Paws of the Sphinx in our own private group and be able to view the Dream Stele, something that most visitors never get to see.

The Dream Stele has been standing between the Paws of the Great Sphinx at Giza for over 3,400 years. The 18th Dynasty's Thutmose IV had it put there to immortalize a deal he made with the colossal statue when he was a young Prince—but not the Crown Prince. The Giza Plateau, already ancient in Thutmose's time, was a playground for the young royal who came here to have some princely fun: target practice, lion hunting and chariot racing. One can't blame him for wanting to take a break from the blistering midday sun, and Thutmose sat down to nap in the shadow of the Great Sphinx.

While he slept, the Sphinx appeared to Thutmose in a dream and made him a deal that the ambitious young royal couldn't refuse. Although he wasn't next in line, the Sphinx promised Thutmose the throne if he freed the great statue from the desert sand. and he did and became the one of the greatest pharoses that ruled the country for several years.
