Enjoy a delicious breakfast buffet at the hotel before meeting your licensed tour guide to start your short vacation in Egypt on a budget to the Saqqara Necropolis from Cairo. You will be driven to Saqqara, the ancient kingdom's necropolis, where you can visit the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser, the nobles' tombs, and the Pyramid of King Teti. Your tour guide will make every effort to make the history of Egypt understandable and the fundamentals of ancient Egyptian religion simple.
During the third dynasty, Djoser was one of the most powerful kings and rulers in ancient Egypt. Imhotep, a renowned architect and philosopher who held many titles and was even worshipped after his death, built The Step Pyramid that bears his name. Enter the tomb of Kagemni, who ruled Egypt during the 6th dynasty as King Teti's son-in-law.
Transfer to Memphis, an ancient city, to see the pharaonic-era artifacts there, particularly the colossal statue of King Ramses II and the Memphis Sphinx made of alabaster.
The three pyramids that were constructed by the kings of the 4th dynasty, Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus, will be our first stop on our amazing tour of the Giza Pyramids. Before the Lincoln Cathedral was built in 1311 A.D., the great pyramid of Khufu was the tallest structure in the world and was magnificent to behold.
View the three pyramids from the high plateau and take a 1-hour optional camel ride in Giza Pyramids to capture breathtaking landscape photos. Then, continue your Giza Pyramids tour to see the Great Sphinx of Chephren, a mythical lion with a human head, and enter the Valley Temple or the mummification temple inside the Chephren funeral complex while your Egyptologist describes the various stages of the mummification process.
Enjoy your delicious lunch meal in a good quality restaurant overlooking the pyramids and the sphinx.
Transfer back to the hotel after your tours in Cairo are completed, and overnight stay at your hotel.
