Begin your second day in Cairo with a delicious buffet breakfast at your hotel before meeting your certified tour guide. Your 4-day Cairo tour continues with a visit to the Saqqara Necropolis, where you'll explore The Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser, the tombs of the nobles, and the Pyramid of King Teti. Your knowledgeable guide will simplify the history of Egypt and explain the basics of ancient Egyptian religion.
Next, you'll visit the ancient city of Memphis to discover artifacts dating back to different periods of the Pharaonic era, including the alabaster sphinx of Memphis and the colossal statue of King Ramses II.
Your tour then takes you to the Pyramids of Giza, where you'll explore the three pyramids built by the kings of the 4th dynasty: Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. Marvel at the grandeur of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the tallest structure in the world for 4,500 years until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311 A.D.
From the high plateau, you can see all three pyramids and enjoy an optional camel ride in Giza Pyramids for one hour while taking amazing photos of the landscape. Your tour will also take you to see the Great Sphinx of Chephren, a mythological figure of a man-headed lion, and you'll have the opportunity to enter the Valley Temple or the mummification temple inside the funeral complex of Chephren while your Egyptologist guide explains the different phases of the mummification process.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a high-quality restaurant overlooking the pyramids and the Sphinx. After your tours in Cairo are completed, you'll be transferred back to your hotel for an overnight stay.
