Cairo, Nile Cruise, and Hurghada Luxury Tours

Beginning your trip to Cairo with breakfast at the hotel will make it easy to get started on learning about the Great Pyramid of King Cheops and his successors, Chephren and Mycerinus. If you would like to add the optional activity of riding camels at the Giza Pyramids area, that will be no problem at all. Finally, you will be able to see the famous Sphinx.

After learning about how the pyramids were built, continue to King Chephren's Valley Temple to learn about mummification in ancient Egypt. Each pyramid complex used to have a valley temple, a mortuary temple, and a tomb, which is the pyramid itself. The pyramid complex of King Chephren is the only one, best preserved among all the monuments on the site, that shows that the Valley Temple was used for ritual purposes before the pharaoh's burial took place.

After lunch, you'll head to Saqqara, one of the most important ancient sites in Egypt. You'll also visit the Step Pyramid Complex and the first building in the world that was built on six stone bases stacked on top of each other (the Pyramid of King Djoser).
