You will be greeted by your certified tour guide to begin your trip in Cairo by touring the Giza Pyramids area after enjoying your first buffet breakfast at the hotel.
While standing very close to the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, a 146-meter-tall structure built during the Old Kingdom—specifically, the fourth dynasty—one of the greatest kings of ancient Egypt, your personal tour guide will make sure to answer all of your questions about the ancient Egyptian era. Your Giza Pyramids tour will pique your curiosity about the Egyptian past.
King Cheops, also known as Khufu, was the grandfather of Mycerinus, the smallest but no less significant pyramid that can be seen from the plateau while taking the optional camel ride at the Giza Pyramids to see the glory of this epic land, the land of the pharaohs. King Cheops was the son of Snefru, who also owned four impressive pyramids. He was also the father of Chephren, who built the middle pyramid in Giza and still retains the outer casing at the top end.
Proceed to observe The Valley Temple of King Chephren, where his regal remains were preserved for the afterlife through mummification, and the massive statue of the Sphinx, fashioned like a man-headed lion, symbolizing strength and wisdom.
Next, let's visit the Saqqara Necropolis, which is 200 years older than the Giza Necropolis and home to the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser from the third dynasty and the Pyramid of King Teti from the sixth dynasty, which ruled the country until the start of the first intermediate period. Explore the tombs of the nobles, the son-in-law of King Teti, and Kagemni, the vizier of Justice, to see the exquisite examples of ancient Egyptian art.
We will now travel to the location of the most ancient Egyptian capital, which is now known as Mit Rahina. This area is regarded as an outdoor museum that holds many fascinating artifacts from the old, middle, and new kingdoms of ancient Egyptian history. See the massive statue of Ramses II, one of the most significant kings of the 18th dynasty, and the alabaster sphinx of Memphis, the second largest sphinx in all of Egypt.
