An Egyptologist guide from Cairo Top Tours will meet you early in the morning at a pre-arranged time to begin your Cairo day tours to the Giza Pyramids. Here, you will witness one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the giant pyramid of King Cheops, as well as the pyramids of King Khafra, King Chephren, and Mycerinus.

The Giza Pyramids are famous for their enormous size and remarkable preservation. Our day tours in Egypt delve into the fourth dynasty of the ancient kingdom, when these monumental structures were constructed. You will be transported to Giza to see the Great Sphinx, a rock sculpture with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion. You'll also have the chance to tour Khafraa's Valley of the Temples, built by King Chephren, the younger brother, and successor to King Djedefre during the Pyramid era, to aid Egyptian mummification.

We'll pause for a delicious Egyptian lunch before continuing our tour to the Egyptian Museum, situated in Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo. The museum includes a diverse collection of Egyptian monuments from around the world, dating back 6,000 years. Visitors can see more than 160,000 masterpieces on the two floors, including the treasures of Tutankhamun and an extensive collection of gold and jewelry finds that were hidden under the sand for over 350 centuries until the tomb of the New Kingdom was discovered in 1922 and displayed in the museum.

If you have additional time, you can include a trip to Coptic Cairo in your itinerary. Visit the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, one of the oldest Jewish sites in the nation, and the Roman fortress of Babylon. Before returning to your hotel, you can also explore Ben Ezra Synagogue and Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest bazaars in the Middle East.

The first pharaoh in the history of Egypt was Narmer, also known as Menes. Narmer is believed to have unified Upper and Lower Egypt, founding the First Dynasty around 3100 BCE. He is often considered the first historical Pharaoh, as his rule marked the beginning of the dynastic period in ancient Egypt. Narmer is known for his inscriptions on various artifacts, including the Narmer Palette, which depicts his achievements and the unification of Egypt.

In Giza, there's a multitude of captivating tourist activities that showcase the ancient wonders and cultural richness of the region:

  • Pyramids of Giza.
  • Sound and light show.
  • Camel or horseback riding
  • Solar Boat Museum
  •     Imhotep Museum.
  •     Saqqara Necropolis.
  •     Memphis.
  • traditional Egyptian cuisine.
  • hot air balloon ride.

It's best to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes, as you'll be doing a fair amount of walking. Egypt can be hot, so lightweight and breathable fabrics are ideal. Additionally, it's a good idea to dress modestly out of respect for the local culture, especially when visiting religious sites like mosques.

The time required for a tour of the Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum depends on your level of interest and the depth of exploration you desire. A typical guided tour usually takes around 4-6 hours. This timeframe allows for a visit to the three main pyramids at Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, as well as the Sphinx and the Solar Boat Museum. In the Egyptian Museum, you can explore the extensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun.

We advise giving yourself at least three hours to fully appreciate your enchanted surroundings during your visit to the pyramid complex. After viewing the pyramids, take the chance to tour historic temples and discover the locations of the formal worship of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, which took place many thousands of years ago.
