After enjoying a delicious breakfast buffet at your hotel in Cairo, you will meet your English-speaking tour guide to begin your Cairo Day Tour to the Giza Plateau. You will start by visiting the Great Pyramid of Cheops, built over 4,500 years ago and consisting of more than 2.6 million pieces of rock. Cheops had many sons, including "Ghadf Raa", "Chefren", and "Hor Ghadf", but their relationships were not always smooth.
You will also see the Pyramid of Chephren, the second largest pyramid on the plateau, as well as the Pyramid of Mycerinus, which was built using both granite and limestone. The tour will also include a visit to the Great Sphinx, a monumental statue with the head of a pharaoh, and the body of a lion, symbolizing strength and intelligence.
You will have the opportunity to take panoramic photos of all the Giza pyramids and enjoy a 15-minute camel ride. You can also choose to visit the Solar Boat behind Cheops' pyramid.
Next, you will visit Sakkara to see the Stepped Pyramid Complex, the oldest pyramid in history built by King Djoser over 4,600 years ago. You will also visit the pyramid of Teti, which has an impressive interior, and the tombs of the nobles to witness the daily life of ancient Egypt.
Finally, you will visit Memphis, the first capital of Egypt for 1,000 years, now known as Giza. Inside the Memphis open-air museum, you will see the famous statue of King Ramses II and an alabaster sphinx. The tour will conclude with your return to your hotel in Cairo for an overnight stay.
