Start your day with a delightful breakfast at your Cairo hotel before meeting your certified tour guide. Begin your exploration of the Giza Plateau with visits to the following iconic sites:

The Great Pyramid of Cheops: Built over 4,500 years ago during the Old Kingdom, this monumental structure offers the opportunity to venture inside or capture stunning photographs as your guide shares its fascinating history.

The Second Pyramid of Chephren: Built by Chephren, the son of Cheops, this pyramid is slightly smaller but equally significant. Nearby, you’ll encounter the Great Sphinx, a majestic lion with a human head guarding the necropolis.

The Third Pyramid of Mycerinus: Visit the smallest of the three pyramids, constructed for King Mycerinus of the 4th dynasty. From the plateau, you can opt for a camel ride to take memorable photos against the pyramid backdrop.

The Great Sphinx: This colossal statue, carved from a single block of stone, stands as a sentinel over the ancient necropolis.

The Valley Temple: Located in front of the Sphinx, this ancient temple was used for rituals such as the 'Opening of the Mouth,' ensuring the Pharaoh’s mummy could eat, drink, and speak in the afterlife.

Memphis City: Drive to the open-air museum in Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Explore the remnants of this historic city, which dates back to the time of King Menes, and marvel at its ancient artifacts.

Saqqara Necropolis: Continue to Saqqara, renowned for its extensive archaeological sites, including 11 royal pyramids and numerous Mastaba tombs. Visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first stone structure, and the Pyramid of Teti, adorned with hieroglyphic inscriptions.
