After clearing customs at Cairo International Airport, a manager of Cairo Top Tours will meet you and help you with the procedures for taking your tickets and luggage. Then, you will start your first Cairo one-day tour, which begins at the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza.
In your interior, all the fascinating aspects of the combination of construction pyramids and of various Egyptian kings—Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus—will be thoroughly explained by your guide.
Later, you will be driven to Saqqara to see the mythical Step Pyramid of Djoser, built by Imhotep.
This revolutionary pyramid signified the end of the evolution of pyramid building in that it was no longer built simply as a tomb; it also served the purpose of aiding the spirit in the afterworld.
Your tour will then proceed to the Dahshur Pyramids, where after a delicious meal, you will see the well-cased Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid of King Snefru, father of Cheops, who built one of the most famous pyramids in Egypt. Replete with some of you will find royal tombs with just awe-inspiring pyramids from this period.
Lastly, you will visit Memphis, which is the oldest city of the ancient Egyptian civilization on that day.
This city was established by King Menes around 3100 B.C. after the conquest of Upper and Lower Egypt and served as a political, social, and religious center for several centuries. You will see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the beautiful Alabaster Sphinx.
