The Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau, which are located ten miles south of downtown Cairo on the outskirts of this metropolitan area, are one of Egypt's most famous landmarks. We will see them today after breakfast at the hotel. With its three Great Pyramids, the oldest and greatest of which is nearly 4,000 years old, Cheops is one of the last remaining wonders of the ancient world. Menkaura (Mycerinus) is the smallest, while Khafre (Chephren) is the only one whose top is still covered with the original stone. The Pyramids entrance can be arranged at an additional expense, albeit it is not for everyone.
Almost fully carved from a single piece of limestone, the mysterious Sphinx stands at the base of the Great Pyramids. It is among the most frequently photographed historical sites worldwide. Your tour of the Great Pyramids of Giza will undoubtedly rank among your most memorable experiences while in Cairo.
After that, carry on with your Cairo day trips to the Saqqara region, which is around 27 kilometers southwest of Cairo. You will see the Step Pyramid, also called the Djoser Pyramid, as you get to Saqqara. The pyramid is the first stone structure in history and is regarded as a crucial component of the pyramid's growth, having evolved from a basic mastaba to its well-known form.
Next, take a journey to Memphis City, which was the ancient Egyptian capital during the unification of the two countries. There, you can see the enormous statue of Ramses II and the magnificent Sphinx made of alabaster. After a delicious lunch at one of Cairo's top restaurants, your journey to Cairo will come to an end as you are driven back to your hotel.
There is an optional Cairo Nile food Cruise that offers food, transportation, belly dancing, and a Tanoura dance performance.
Spend the night in your hotel.
Lunch and breakfast are served.
