Although travel time may vary, you can expect to be captivated by the landscape and history that unfolds before you.

1- Egyptian Pyramids in Giza

The Giza pyramids (constructed approximately 2500 years ago) stand as a testament to ancient Egyptian dynasty that gave rise to some of history's most formidable leaders. The third dynasty was instrumental in the erection of these pyramids, which now serve as tombs of numerous kings and rulers of Egypt. During your tour of the pyramids, you will encounter the imposing Sphinx, which possesses the body of a lion and the head of a sovereign adorned with a turban. Some scientists have posited that it represents the son of the sun deity (Ra), symbolizing strength, intelligence and the enduring vitality of Egypt. Next (to complete your exploration of the Giza plateau), proceed to the Great Sphinx and its associated temple, situated directly adjacent to Valley Temple, which functions as a gateway to entire complex. As you continue your journey, you will once again observe the formidable Sphinx—embodying similar attributes as previously noted. Following this, a visit to Valley Temple awaits, which acts as an entry point to comprehensive site. You will then be escorted to an Egyptian restaurant for lunch; however, culinary experience promises to be quite enlightening.

2-The Step Pyramid of Saqqara

The Saqqara step pyramid (constructed in the 27th century BC) serves primarily for the purpose of interring "King Djoser." This architectural marvel was inspired by the designs of the illustrious architect Imhotep, who also was King Djoser's minister. Upon completion of your tours, a private air-conditioned vehicle will transport you back to Sokhna Port.
