An Egyptologist guide from Cairo Top Tours will meet you early in the morning at a pre-arranged time to start your tour of the Great Pyramids. Here you will see one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the giant pyramid of King Cheops, as well as the pyramids of King Khafra's King Chephren and Mycrinus.
The Giza Pyramids are renowned for their enormous size and astounding degree of preservation. Our day tours in Egypt explore the fourth dynasty of the ancient kingdom, which is when these antiquated buildings were constructed. You will be transported to Giza.
You will see the Great Sphinx, a rock sculpture with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion. You will have the chance to tour Khafraa's Valley of the Temples, which he built after Cheops to serve as his successor. King Chephren, the younger brother, and successor to King Djedefre during the Pyramid era, constructed this temple to aid Egyptian mummification.
We will take a break for a delicious Egyptian lunch and continue our tour to the Egyptian Museum, which is located in Tahrir Square in the center of Cairo. The museum includes a diverse collection of Egyptian monuments from around the world dating back 6,000 years. Visitors can see more than 160,000 masterpieces on the two floors, including the treasures of Tutankhamun and an extensive collection of gold and jewelry finds that were hidden under the sand for more than 350 centuries until the tomb of the New Kingdom was discovered in 1922 and displayed in the museum.
You can include a trip to Coptic Cairo in your itinerary if you have extra time. Visit the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, one of the oldest Jewish sites in the nation, and the Roman fortress of Babylon there. Before going back to your hotel, you can also check out Ben Ezra Synagogue and Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest bazaars in the Middle East.
The tour to the pyramids of Giza lasts about 8 hours. This tour is suitable for families with small children or teenagers. We suggest you wear light-colored clothes, hats, and sunscreen.
