Before visiting the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx inside the Chephren Pyramid Complex, your Egyptologist will explain to you the most significant historical events that occurred since the beginning of the dynastic period of Egypt's history and pass through the different eras that affected Egypt throughout thousands of years. After that, we will head to the area where you can take an optional camel ride in Giza. we will reach the sphinx by means of a passageway to stand very close to the impressive statue of a lion with a man's head that was cut from only one rock to end up with a total of 73 meters long.
Enjoy your delectable lunch in one of the most opulent eateries while looking out at the pyramids and sphinx. You will go to the Saqqara Necropolis, which is the first-era royal burial site and dates back to about 200 years before the construction of the three pyramids in Giza. Upon arrival, you will see the Step Pyramid, which was built for King Djoser by the brilliant architect Imhotep for the first time entirely out of stone.

Additionally, you will be able to visit King Teti's pyramid, which was in charge of Egypt during the sixth ruling family.
