Your breakfast will be served at the main restaurant in your hotel in Cairo before starting your tour of Egypt. A guide from Cairo Top Tours will take you to see the Great Pyramids in Giza, starting with the pyramid of King Cheops. It is the biggest pyramid in Egypt and was built by 100,000 workers according to experts.
King Chephren's pyramid was built 20 years after the Great pyramids by his son, who was the next king. It was made of millions of limestone blocks. This pyramid is smaller than the others, and you can learn about how the ancient Egyptians built it.
The Giza plateau is a special place where you can see the ancient pyramids and ride a camel if you want. A guide will help you take great photos of the pyramids.
Now you will see a statue that has the head of a king and the body of a lion, which is like a protector of the pyramids. The statue is called the Sphinx, and its old name means it is like a living image of a powerful god. The Greeks got the name "sphinx" from this old name.
The Valley Temple of Chephren is a big building in Egypt where people used to go a long time ago. It is near the pyramids and is a special place for ceremonies and important events.
The pharaoh built a special temple near his pyramid in Giza to prepare his body for mummification. It is the only temple like it that is still standing in the area.
During your Egypt trip, you can see all the Giza pyramids from a great view and take awesome pictures with our help. You can also visit the solar boat museum, but you'll need to buy an extra ticket. After a yummy lunch at a local restaurant, we'll go to Saqqara plateau to see the Step Pyramid Complex and tombs from ancient times. You can even go inside the pyramid of king Teti or king Unas.
Today, you will go to Memphis City, which was the most important city in Egypt for a long time when the pyramids were being built. It was a special place for Egyptian culture and religion for a very long time. When you get there, you will go to the museum to see cool things from the ancient city like a big statue of King Ramses ll and a sphinx made of alabaster.
We will take you back to your hotel.
