Start your day with a gourmet breakfast at your Cairo hotel before meeting your certified tour guide for an immersive Giza pyramids tour. Begin with the Great Pyramid of Cheops, built 4,500 years ago, where you can explore inside or take photos while learning about its history.
Next, visit the slightly smaller Pyramid of Chephren, built by Cheops' son, and the Great Sphinx, a monumental figure carved from a single stone. Continue to the Pyramid of Mycerinus, the smallest of the three, and enjoy an optional camel ride for stunning photos. Explore the Valley Temple, known for its ancient rituals, before traveling 35 minutes to Memphis to visit its open-air museum and discover artifacts from Egypt’s oldest capital.
Proceed to Saqqara, where you’ll see the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the oldest stone building, and explore the pyramid of Teti with its hieroglyphic inscriptions. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Saqqara before returning to your hotel in Giza for the night. Meals included: Breakfast and lunch.
