After finishing a nice breakfast at the hotel, begin your Cairo day tours by meeting your licensed tour guide. The Giza Pyramids tour will start in the vicinity of the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, his son Chephren, and the last one, related to the grandson known as Mycerinus.
The Cheops pyramid, built by King Snefru's son, is 146 meters high and 230 meters long. The tour takes you to the plateau to view the Giza Pyramids area and offers an optional camel ride. Your guide will discuss the stories behind the pyramids.
In King Chephren's funerary complex, a mummification temple created for opening the mouth rituals, see the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx. Place the sphinx next to a statue of a lion with a human head after moving it through a passageway. Your tour guide will highlight the significance of sphinxes in ancient civilizations by describing the reasoning behind sphinxes in ancient Egypt.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a stunning eatery with a view of the pyramids before continuing Cairo sightseeing at the Saqqara Necropolis. Visit the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first stone pyramid built by Imhotep, consisting of six mastabas. Explore the ruins of the heb-sed court, where the king extended his rule.
The pyramid of King Teti and the tomb of Kagemni, a relative of the 6th dynasty King Teti, are both accessible. The tomb features a well-preserved collection of animals and offerings in excellent condition. Visit the open-air museum in Memphis, Egypt's first capital, Mit Rahina, where you can explore the city's artifacts, statues of King Ramses II, and the alabaster sphinx of Memphis.
You will be transported back to your hotel after completing your first day's Cairo trips.
