In the morning, you will have breakfast at the hotel, after which your guide will begin the 6-day Cairo and White Desert Budget Tour.
The first visit on your itinerary shall be the Giza Necropolis, where you will see the iconic three pyramids built for each of the kings, Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, about twenty-five centuries ago. Centuries ago, each pyramid served as a tomb for the pharaoh it was named after, and his remains were placed inside. This area also illustrates how the tombs of kings in Ancient Egypt have evolved and changed in style through the years.
Afterward, you may enjoy taking some pictures with the Great Sphinx of Giza. Some archaeological scholars claim that King Khufu built it because its facial features, which are similar to those of statues of Khufu Kheops, as opposed to Khafre, are quite different from the features of Khafre. The history of Spinx is still under research, as it is believed that it was a figure representing the sun god "Hor-em-akhit.”.
Lunch will be taken in a first-class restaurant in Cairo. After that, you will visit Islamic Cairo. Also, there will be time for the Coptic Cairo tour, where you can see the ancient Roman Babylon fortress built by emperor Trajan. You will then continue to the Egyptian Museum, where your guide will explain the collection and the importance of its various masterpieces.
At last, you will be able to go back to the hotel and have your overnight stay in Cairo.
