Your hotel in Cairo's main restaurant will prepare and serve your buffet breakfast before you begin your day trips around Cairo. The greatest of all the Egyptian pyramids, the pyramid of King Cheops was built by the hands of 100,000 workers, as predicted by archeologists and historians, and is the first one you will visit on your tour of the Great Pyramids in Giza.
The large Chephren pyramid and the smaller Mycerinus pyramid were both constructed by the son and heir of Cheops, who belonged to the 4th dynasty of Pharaohs, nearly twenty years after the Great Pyramids. Additionally, you'll discover how the ancient Egyptians built pyramids.
You can enjoy a camel ride around the Giza Pyramids (an optional activity) and take some breathtaking pictures with the assistance of your Bedouin guide while admiring the picturesque view of the entire necropolis from the high Giza plateau.
The old name of the Sphinx is unknown, but we believe the Greeks borrowed the name from an old name that most likely was Shipses-ankh, which means (the living image of a deity). Now you will descend to see the figure of the king's head on a lion's body, symbolizing a guardian to the pyramids standing behind.
The Chephren Valley Temple:
The only valley temple in Giza, constructed by the pharaoh for mummification, is the only one still in existence. Egypt tours offer panoramic views of the Giza pyramids and the Solar Boat Museum. During Egypt tours, you'll have a panoramic view of Giza pyramids, take amazing pictures, visit the solar boat museum, and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Visit Saqqara Necropolis to see the Step Pyramid Complex, the tombs of nobles, and the pyramids of King Teti and King Unas. Finally, visit Memphis City, the cultural and religious capital of the ancient Egyptian empire, where you'll visit the alabaster sphinx and King Ramses' statue.
