Start the day with breakfast, followed by the highly memorable Giza Pyramids tour that is an integral part of your Egypt Classic Tours. While in Giza, familiarise yourself with the Pyramids of Egypt, testaments to the engineering genius of the Old Kingdom. The Pyramid of Chephren is remarkable since some original casing stones remain at the peak, an extremely rare look at what pyramids may have originally resembled. Nearby is the Sphinx, the monumental, over 4,500-year-old guardian of the plateau, with its gaze so enigmatic, reflecting ancient Egyptian artistic brilliance. Explore the Valley Temple Khafra, used in purification rites and containing amazing statues of the pharaoh.
Travel to Saqqara, the site of the Step Pyramid, which was built in the 27th century BC. This pioneering building was made up of six mastabas, one on top of the other, and represents a revolutionary jump in architectural aspirations. The tour ends at Memphis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with ruins such as the giant alabaster sphinx and remains of giant statues, attesting to its position in history as a major center of worship and government. During the day, enjoy included breakfast, lunch, and dinner for comfort and energy on your discoveries.
