Start your day with a delicious Egyptian breakfast. You can enjoy traditional dishes like foul medames, falafel, or an omelet at a local café or your hotel. Head to the Giza Plateau, located just outside Cairo, to explore one of the world's most iconic archaeological sites—the Giza Pyramids. These ancient wonders include the Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
One of the most striking and well-known tourist attractions in Egypt, The Great Sphinx, will be your next stop after seeing the three tallest pyramids at Giza. The enormous Sphinx holds the skeletal remains of a monarch and his queen.
You'll find a variety of local restaurants and food stalls near the pyramids serving traditional Egyptian cuisine. Try dishes like koshari, kebabs, or a mezze platter for a satisfying midday meal.
After exploring the Giza Pyramids, head back to Cairo and visit the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square. This museum is home to an extensive collection of artifacts from ancient Egypt, including the treasures of Tutankhamun.
