Following your first filling breakfast at the hotel, a representative from our company will meet you in the lobby to assist you with your Cairo day trips. Your first stop will be the fascinating tour of the Giza Pyramids, where you will be astounded by the size of these enormous structures built during the old kingdom of ancient Egypt's history by the greatest kings and rulers.
You will see the Great Sphinx in Giza, a statue of a man with a body of a lion that is thought to have been made for King Chephren himself because it is located within his funerary complex, and then enter the Valley Temple where the king's mummification process took place as part of the burial process. This is all after having the option to ride a camel on the plateau surrounding the Giza Pyramids.
Saqqara tours are now your next stop to see the Step Pyramid. This structure shows us the development of pyramid construction. It is the initial pyramid constructed in Egypt, and while it is not a ‘true pyramid’ with smooth sides like the Giza Pyramids, the Bent Pyramid, or the Red Pyramid of Dahshur.
Continue your tours in Cairo by transferring to the place where the 1st capital of Egypt was, the ancient city of Memphis, you will see the open-air museum with the alabaster sphinx and the enormous statue of King Ramses II who ruled Egypt during the new kingdom era. You will have a tasty lunch in a good-quality restaurant overlooking the pyramids and the Sphinx before being transferred back to the hotel.
