Enjoy a buffet breakfast served in the main restaurant at your Cairo hotel before embarking on your Cairo day trips. An accredited tour guide will pick you up to begin your exploration of the Great Pyramids of Giza. Start with the Pyramid of King Cheops, the largest of the Egyptian pyramids, which was constructed by approximately 100,000 workers, according to archaeologists and historians.
Next, visit the Pyramid of King Chephren, built around 20 years after the Great Pyramid, and the smaller Pyramid of Mycerinus. Discover how these ancient pyramids were built by the Egyptians. From the high Giza Plateau, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the entire necropolis and have the option to take a camel ride around the Giza Pyramids, with the assistance of a Bedouin guide to help capture stunning photographs.
Continue to the Sphinx, a monumental statue with the body of a lion and the head of a king, believed to have originally been called Shipses-ankh, meaning "living image of a deity." Explore the Valley Temple of Chephren, an impressive structure built for the mummification of the Pharaoh, and the only remaining valley temple in Giza.
Take in a panoramic view of the Giza pyramids and have the opportunity to take remarkable photos. If interested, you can visit the Solar Boat Museum, but please note this requires an additional ticket purchased on the spot.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the Saqqara Necropolis. Here, you'll see the famous Step Pyramid Complex, the tombs of Old Kingdom nobles, and the vibrant depictions of daily life. You will also have the chance to enter the Pyramid of King Teti or the Pyramid of King Unas.
Your final stop is Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt for nearly a thousand years and a major cultural and religious centre throughout Egyptian history. At the Memphis Museum, view significant artifacts including the alabaster Sphinx and the colossal statue of King Ramses II.
You will then be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.
