Start your exciting day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before meeting your accredited tour guide in the lobby of your hotel. You will visit the Old Necropolis in Saqqara and the Giza Plateau, where you'll see the first capital of Egypt, established approximately 5,000 years ago.
Your tour of the Giza Pyramids will begin with a visit to the enormous structures built by the great pharaohs of Egypt during the 4th dynasty. You will see the three Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. The largest pyramid belongs to King Cheops, and your guide will provide you with detailed information about the history and construction of these impressive monuments. You may also choose to enjoy camel riding at the Giza Pyramids (optional), and your guide will help you to capture memorable photos.
You'll also see The Great Sphinx, which is a man-headed lion design that stands 73 meters tall. You will also visit the Valley of Temples, part of the funerary complex of King Chephren, which is the place where his body was mummified before burial.
Next, your tour guide will take you to the Saqqara Necropolis, which is located about 45 minutes from Cairo. You'll see the oldest stone pyramid in Egypt, the Step Pyramid, which was built by the famous architect Imhotep for his king, Djoser of the 3rd dynasty. This pyramid is considered a transitional phase in the development of royal burial tombs. You'll also have the opportunity to enter the Pyramid of Teti, who ruled the country during the 6th dynasty, and the tomb of his son-in-law, Kagemni tomb, which was one of the most impressive tombs of the nobles for its rich amount of offerings and hunting scenes inscribed on its walls, still well-preserved until today.
Finally, you'll transfer to Memphis, which is now known as Mit Rahina, to see the open-air museum with its incredible artifacts, such as the alabaster sphinx of Memphis and the colossal statue of Ramses II, the legendary pharaoh of the New Kingdom, who also built the impressive Abu Simbel Temples in Aswan.
Afterward, you'll be transferred back to your hotel to spend your night there.
