After enjoying breakfast at your hotel in Cairo, you'll begin an intriguing day trip to the Giza Necropolis with your guide. Your first stop will be the Great Pyramid of King Cheops.
The Giza Plateau offers a stunning panoramic view of the entire necropolis, and you'll have the option to take a camel ride around the Giza Pyramids with assistance from your Bedouin guide, who will help capture memorable photos.
Next, you'll visit the iconic Sphinx, known as Shesep-Ankh, which translates to the living image of the deity.
The Valley Temple of Chephren is another highlight, noted for its beauty and significance as the temple where the pharaoh's body was mummified within the complex of the second pyramid. It is the sole remaining valley temple at Giza, offering a breathtaking view of all the pyramids together. Optionally, you can visit the Solar Boat Museum, with tickets available for purchase on-site.
After lunch, you'll proceed to the Saqqara Necropolis, where you'll explore the Step Pyramid Complex and the tombs of nobles from the Old Kingdom. Conclude the day with the opportunity to enter either the Pyramid of King Teti or the Pyramid of King Unas.
