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 tour to the pyramids of Giza lasts approximately 8 hours. This tour is suitable for families with young children or teenagers. We recommend wearing light-colored clothing, hats, and sunscreen.
