After enjoying a delicious buffet breakfast at your hotel, you will meet your personal tour guide to embark on your Cairo day tours. Your first stop will be the Giza pyramids, where you'll explore the magnificent structures of Cheops (the Great Pyramid, 4,500 years old), Chephren (the second pyramid built 20 years later), and Mycerinus (the third pyramid). These pyramids were built by the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt, who believed in an afterlife and constructed these monumental structures to accompany them spiritually. You'll also visit the Sphinx, a mythical creature with a lion's body and a human head, and the Valley Temple, constructed with limestone, granite, and alabaster.
Continuing your Cairo day tours, you'll be transferred to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser in Saqqara. This pyramid, built during the 3rd dynasty, is considered the oldest stone building in the world and is made up of stacked mastabas, or steps. Saqqara is located around 27 kilometers southwest of Cairo and is a significant archaeological site. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore the Mastaba tombs of the Nobles and witness the evolution of burial tombs throughout ancient Egyptian history.
Following your exploration, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch at an elegant restaurant. Afterward, you'll be transferred to Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt's Old Kingdom. In Memphis, you'll encounter the imposing statue of Ramses II and the magnificent Alabaster Sphinx, the second-largest sphinx after the Great Sphinx in Giza. Memphis was established by King Menes, who united the northern and southern kingdoms and initiated the 1st dynasty approximately 5,100 years ago.
Once you've completed your Saqqara and Memphis day trip, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.
You will spend the night at your hotel in Cairo.
