After breakfast, your tour guide will accompany you to explore some of Cairo's most popular tourist attractions, starting with the Giza Pyramids Complex. Built during the 4th dynasty around 2400 years ago, the complex features stunning pyramids, including the Great Pyramid, which is the oldest and largest of the trio. King Khufu was its owner, and it took 20 years and 2,300,000 stones to construct the 147-meter-tall pyramid. The complex also includes the Valley Temple, a massive sphinx, and six smaller pyramids.
We'll then move on to the Great Sphinx, which is the world's largest statue at 73 meters long, 19 meters wide, and 20 meters tall. It belonged to King Chephren and is one of the earliest significant sculptures ever created.
If you're interested in ancient Egyptian mummification, you can visit the Valley Temple, the only remaining granite temple of its kind on the Giza plateau.
For lunch, we'll take you to a restaurant that offers stunning views of the Pyramids or the Nile.
Afterward, we'll visit the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, which dates back to the reign of King Djoser in the 27th century BC. It's fascinating to contemplate how this structure was built using cut stone, with six steps stacked on top of one another to create a 62-meter-tall pyramid.
Our next stop is the City of Memphis, the first Egyptian capital and a significant center between Upper and Lower Egypt. The city was protected by the god Ptah, making it a vital destination for ancient Egyptians.
Finally, we'll return you to your hotel for the night.
