After breakfast, your private guide will pick you up for your Cairo day tour of the famous Giza Plateau. You'll see the Great Pyramid of Cheops, one of the only surviving monuments from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. During the Giza pyramids tour, you'll also have an amazing view of the pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. If you're interested, you can ride camels as an optional activity.
Next, we'll head to the Saqqara Necropolis to visit the Djoser Step Pyramid Complex, the first building ever constructed from stone in the world. The tour includes entrance to the pyramid of Teti, which has the most magnificent interior among all accessible pyramids, as well as the Tombs of the Nobles at Saqqara. These tombs, built for the husbands of two daughters of King Teti, feature beautifully depicted scenes of ancient Egyptian life on their walls and corridors.
After lunch, we'll drive to Memphis, the capital of the Pharaohs for thousands of years and a religious and cultural center of great importance for 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization. You'll visit the open-air museum famous for its Alabaster Sphinx and see its second-largest attraction, a broken colossal statue of Ramesses II made of 80-ton marble blocks. Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Cairo, where you'll spend the night.
Your meals for the day include breakfast and lunch. Dinner is not included.
