We recommend a tour of the Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum today to learn about the history and culture of Egypt. The Giza Pyramids were built over 4,500 years ago and are a testament to the engineering and architectural prowess of the ancient Egyptians. The Giza complex also includes the Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the Solar Boat Museum. The Sphinx, a massive limestone statue of a lion with a human head, is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt. The Valley Temple, built for Khafre, is the only one of the seven temples of the Giza complex that has survived intact. The Solar Boat Museum houses the world's oldest known ship, a funerary vessel used to transport Khufu's body to the afterlife.
Next, we'll visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt, which is home to one of the world's largest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. With over 120,000 items on display, the museum offers an incredible wealth of history and culture. Some of the most famous artifacts in the museum include the funerary mask of Tutankhamun, the royal mummy of Ramesses II, and the statue of Akhenaten.
Let's take a short break after touring the Giza Pyramids and have lunch before refueling for the rest of the day. The Egyptian food at a restaurant will give us the energy we need to finish the day.
