Cairo Top Tours gives you the opportunity to explore one of the seven wonders of the world, the Pyramids of Giza. is an archeological site located in Egypt that contains the Great Sphinx, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and other related complexes. These monuments were constructed between roughly 2600 and 2500 BC during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt.

The pyramid shape was associated with the idea of the origin of the universe, and they also believed, according to some of their writings and religious texts, that the pyramid was a way to help the soul of the deceased to reach heaven with the idol Ra, and sometimes we can see the sun's rays among the clouds also taking the pyramid shape, and it was also one of these many means that could help them ascend to heaven. We also see the pyramidal form on the top of obelisks and some small tombs of individuals in southern Egypt; even when the kings of the New Kingdom thought of building their tombs on the western continent, in the Valley of the Kings, and carving them into the mountain to protect them from robbery, they did not abandon the pyramidal form, which was naturally represented on the top of the mountain itself.
Then you'll enjoy a sunset sail on the Nile River on a traditional dhow during a two-hour trip to Cairo, where you'll enjoy the sights of Egyptian life around you as you set sail. Sailing in a traditional sailboat along the Nile, a felucca ride on the Nile is one of the best experiences you can have.

Itinerary
When you arrive in Cairo, a representative from Cairo Top Tours will be waiting for you at the airport with a qualified guide to take you on one of the most memorable excursions you may go on. Your day will begin with a relaxing ride in a private, air-conditioned vehicle as you travel to the region of the Giza Pyramids, Where you can be a witness to the history of the construction of the Great Pyramid, or the Pyramid of Cheops, which is the most controversial and imaginative monument in the world and the only one of the seven wonders of the world that has survived until now. Many people have spread many myths and stories about it. Some rumored that the inhabitants of the lost continent of Atlantis were the builders of the pyramids, and others assumed that giants from underground ascended to build this pyramid.
After that, you will be able to explore the pyramid of Khafre, which is one of the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, built by King Khafre, the fourth king of the Fourth Dynasty, son of King Khufu, married to Princess Maras Ankh, and ruled for twenty-six years. He built the second pyramid of the Giza pyramids, which is less high than his father's (Khufu); it was 143 meters high and now 136 meters. It was built over an area of 215 square meters, and it has two entrances on the northern side and still retains part of its outer cladding at the summit. Within his pyramid collection, he found statues of schist stone in the private valley temple, including one of the most beautiful statues produced by the art of Egyptian sculpture, which is in the Egyptian Museum and is attributed to him for sculpting the rock of the Sphinx.
We cannot visit the pyramids of Giza without seeing the pyramid of Mankhaura, which was built from limestone, but Mankhaura chose to build the lower part of it from granite, which was brought from Aswan by the Nile River. The height of the granite covering is about 17 meters. The rest of the coverage was done with white Torah stones up to a height of 65.5 meters. To the south of Menkaure's pyramid, there are three pyramids dedicated to queens stretching east-west, the first pyramid belonging to Queen Kha Merar Nabti II, the wife of King Menkaure.
We will conclude our tour with a Cairo Nile felucca adventure, a magical experience that will take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city to a calm and relaxing environment amidst the cool waters of the Nile, which is one of the most beautiful ways to enjoy the beauty of Cairo from a different perspective. This trip is one of the most beautiful ways to enjoy the beauty of Cairo from a different perspective, where you can gaze at historical monuments and beautiful scenery on the banks of the Nile while enjoying the breeze of fresh air and the sounds of flowing water.
