This half-day excursion to the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx is the perfect way to start the second day of your 12-day group tour package. At 9:00 AM, we'll pick you up from your Cairo hotel and drive you to the Giza plateau, where we'll see the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mycerinus.
One of the most amazing structures ever created by humans is the Great Pyramid. It took more than 20 years to construct, and only copper tools were used. It was finished around 2560 B.C.
The Great Pyramid has stood for so long without being damaged or destroyed by earthquakes or other natural disasters that it is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
After seeing the pyramids, we'll move on to the Great Sphinx, which is another ancient marvel. One of the oldest monuments still standing today is the stone sculpture, which is known as the Sphinx which has a lion's body and a human head.
After that, if you still have time, you can ride a camel through a nearby desert village! (Optional activity)
After this excursion, we will return to your hotel in Cairo for some free time, and overnight there.
