Christmas package to Cairo and Hurghada

On the second day of your itinerary, following a buffet breakfast at your hotel, you'll be greeted by your tour guide who will accompany you on a full-day Cairo tour to explore the Giza Pyramids, Dahshur, and Memphis.

Your Cairo day tour begins at the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids, monumental structures built over 4,500 years ago during ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom era by powerful pharaohs to showcase their achievements made possible by the Nile River.

Marvel at the Great Pyramid of King Cheops (Khufu), constructed from more than 2.3 million limestone blocks, towering at 146 meters in height and measuring 230 meters on each side. From the high plateau, enjoy a panoramic view of the three main pyramids: those of Cheops, Chephren (Khafre), and Mycerinus (Menkaure). Chephren's pyramid, slightly smaller than his father's, stands at 136 meters with remnants of its original casing visible at the top.

Visit the Great Sphinx, a majestic statue believed to have been commissioned by King Chephren and situated within his pyramid complex. Explore the nearby Valley Temple where the pharaoh underwent the mummification process as part of his burial rites.

Next, proceed to Memphis, once the oldest capital of Egypt and now known as Mit Rahina. Discover its open-air museum featuring the second-largest alabaster sphinx and the colossal statue of King Ramses II, one of the most influential pharaohs of the New Kingdom.

Conclude your day at the Dahshur Archaeological site, home to the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, two of the pyramids built for King Snefru, founder of the Fourth Dynasty and father of King Cheops. The Bent Pyramid retains much of its original casing, making it a unique and historically significant structure. The Red Pyramid, noted for its reddish limestone blocks, is recognized as Egypt's first true pyramid.

Enjoy a gourmet lunch at a high-quality restaurant with views overlooking the Giza Pyramids before returning to your hotel.
