Then proceeding to witness:Sphinx- Valley Temple

 

Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this sculpture of a man with the haunches of a lion was dubbed the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks because it resembled their mythical winged monster who set riddles and killed anyone unable to answer them. A geological survey has shown that it was most likely carved from the bedrock at the bottom of the causeway during Khafre’s reign, so it probably portrays his features.

After that, you can stop for lunch in a local Egyptian restaurant

 

Then to move to The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
