You will meet your licensed Egyptologist at the Giza Necropolis to begin your Giza Pyramids tour after eating your first breakfast in Egypt at the hotel. Your tour guide will go into great detail about Egypt's history and the origins of the idea to construct the Greek (pyramid) buildings.
Transfer by your exclusive vehicle to the Giza plateau to get a full view of the three pyramids for the kings of Egypt during the 4th dynasty of the old kingdom, Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. Ask your guide if you would like to have a camel ride in the Giza Pyramids (an optional activity), and he will book it for you the moment you enjoy the great atmosphere of a 4500-year-old plateau.
The Valley Temple of Chephren, which was constructed to mummify the king's body so it could be preserved for resurrection, will be our next stop. From the temple, a passageway leads to the Great Sphinx, a statue that was carved from a single piece of plateau bedrock to represent the wisdom and power of the Egyptian pharaoh.
You will be transferred to Cairo downtown, specifically Tahrir Square, where you will have an interesting Egyptian Museum to see the most ancient collection of Egyptian antiquities displayed inside and outside the two floors of the Egyptian Museum. The golden collection of King Tutankhamun will catch your interest, especially the pure gold funeral mask.
Before being taken to Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, the old market in the center of medieval Cairo, where you will enjoy Cairo shopping tours and see the Islamic monuments that date back to the eighth century A.D., enjoy a lunch of local cuisine at one of the high-quality restaurants.
Get back to your hotel to stay overnight after finishing the Cairo trips.
