Next, we'll drive you to a breathtaking location in the Great Sand Sea, where you might have the opportunity to witness flamingo birds gracefully enjoying the serenity of the desert and bathing in the tranquil surroundings.

After enjoying your morning meal at the hotel, a representative from our company will be in the lobby to accompany you on your Cairo day tours. Your exploration starts with a captivating visit to the Giza Pyramids, where you'll be awe-inspired by the colossal structures constructed during ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom by its greatest kings and rulers. Explore the Great Pyramid of Cheops, who drew inspiration from his father's challenging efforts in constructing expansive burial tombs. Also, visit King Snefru, the founder of the 4th dynasty, and owner of two grand pyramids in Dahshur. Proceed to the elevated plateau for a breathtaking view of the three pyramids, including those of Chephren, Cheops' son and King Djedefre's successor. Chephren's pyramid, though somewhat smaller than his father's, is equally impressive. Take in the sight of the Great Sphinx in Giza. You'll have the option to ride a camel on the plateau surrounding the Giza Pyramids. Continue your journey by entering the Valley Temple, where the king underwent the mummification process as part of the burial rituals.
