The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is a beautiful example of the skill and dedication of ancient builders. It is a testimony to their incredible craftsmanship and engineering skills. This pyramid was constructed by more than 2.3 million blocks of limestone to serve as the eternal home from where he would rise to the heavens, the building stood at a height of 146 meters with 230 meters long on each side.
Passing by the high plateau to get a scenic view of the 3 pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus.
Chephren, the son of Cheops, built his pyramid slightly smaller than his father, with a height of 136 meters. Some remains of the outer casing are still at the top.
See the Great Sphinx in Giza, which is a statue of a man-headed lion that is thought to have been built by King Chephren himself. Enter the Valley Temple where the mummification process of the king took place as part of the burial process.
Resume your tours of Cairo by moving to the site of the ancient city of Memphis, now known as Mit Rahina, and see the open-air museum with the second-biggest sphinx made out of alabaster and the colossal statue of King Ramses II, who was the most powerful kings during the new kingdom.
Then we will be heading to Dahshur archaeological site to see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid—two of four pyramids that were constructed for King Snefru, founder of the 4th dynasty and the father of King Cheops. The Bent Pyramid still retains a big percentage of the outer casing material, making it one of the most unique pyramids in Egypt. The Red Pyramid is recognized for the reddish color of the limestone blocks used in the structure and is considered the 1st perfect-shaped pyramid in the history of Egypt.
