After having breakfast at the hotel, our tour guide will be waiting at the hotel lobby to take you in a Cairo day tour.You'll start your tour by touring the Giza Pyramids, which will amaze you with their size. These gigantic buildings were constructed during the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt's history by the greatest kings and rulers of ancient Egypt.
Visit the Great Pyramid of Cheops, who was influenced by his father's challenging attempts to create extensive burial tombs, King Snefru who was the founder of the 4th dynasty and the owner of 2 great pyramids in Dahshur, continue to the high plateau to have a spectacular panorama view of the three pyramids including the pyramids of Chephren who was the son of Cheops and the successor of King Djedefre, made his pyramid somewhat smaller than his father's, with a height of 136 meters, and Mycerinus, owner of the third and the shortest among the Pyramids in Giza.
You can enjoy a camel ride on the Giza Pyramids plateau. (Optional Activity)
You will now see the Great Sphinx in Giza, which is a statue of a man with a body of a lion that is believed to have been made for King Chephren himself. Enter the Valley Temple, where the mummification process of the king took place as part of the burial process.
Saqqara tours now are a great way to see the Step Pyramid, the 1st pyramid built by King Djoser entirely out of stone. King Djoser was the second king of the third dynasty, and the pyramid is located in the Saqqara Necropolis, which is considered a significant stage in the evolution of pyramids in Egypt. You will also enter one of the pyramids within the site, the pyramid of King Teti from the sixth dynasty, and visit one of the tombs of the nobles built for the king's son-in-law, the tomb of Kagemni who was the vizier of Justice during king Teti' reign.
Let's continue our tour of Cairo by visiting the ancient city of Memphis. There you'll see the open-air museum with the beautiful alabaster sphinx and the gigantic statue of King Ramses II, who ruled Egypt during the new kingdom era.
You'll enjoy a delicious lunch in a top-notch restaurant overlooking the pyramids and Sphinx before being transferred back to your hotel.
