The Giza Pyramids are celebrated for their immense scale and remarkable preservation. Our Egypt Day tours delve into the Fourth Dynasty of the ancient kingdom when these monumental structures were constructed. You'll be transported to Giza to encounter the Great Sphinx, a monumental sculpture depicting a pharaoh's head atop a lion's body. You'll also visit Khafra's Valley Temple, built by King Chephren, the younger brother and successor of King Djedefre during the Pyramid Age, and dedicated to the ritual mummification process.

After a delightful Egyptian lunch break, our journey continues to the Egyptian Museum in the heart of Cairo's Tahrir Square. The museum houses a vast collection of Egyptian artefacts spanning 6,000 years. Visitors can explore over 160,000 treasures, including the famed artefacts of Tutankhamun and an extensive array of gold and jewellery unearthed from sands that concealed them for millennia until their discovery in the New Kingdom tomb in 1922.

For those with additional time, Coptic Cairo can be included in the itinerary. Discover the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, among the nation's oldest Jewish sites, and the Roman fortress of Babylon.

The first pharaoh in the history of Egypt was Narmer, also known as Menes. Narmer is believed to have unified Upper and Lower Egypt, founding the First Dynasty around 3100 BCE. He is often considered the first historical Pharaoh, as his rule marked the beginning of the dynastic period in ancient Egypt. Narmer is known for his inscriptions on various artifacts, including the Narmer Palette, which depicts his achievements and the unification of Egypt.

In Giza, there's a multitude of captivating tourist activities that showcase the ancient wonders and cultural richness of the region:

  • Pyramids of Giza.
  • Sound and light show.
  • Camel or horseback riding
  • Solar Boat Museum
  •     Imhotep Museum.
  •     Saqqara Necropolis.
  •     Memphis.
  • traditional Egyptian cuisine.
  • hot air balloon ride.

It's best to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes, as you'll be doing a fair amount of walking. Egypt can be hot, so lightweight and breathable fabrics are ideal. Additionally, it's a good idea to dress modestly out of respect for the local culture, especially when visiting religious sites like mosques.

The time required for a tour of the Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum depends on your level of interest and the depth of exploration you desire. A typical guided tour usually takes around 4-6 hours. This timeframe allows for a visit to the three main pyramids at Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, as well as the Sphinx and the Solar Boat Museum. In the Egyptian Museum, you can explore the extensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun.

We advise giving yourself at least three hours to fully appreciate your enchanted surroundings during your visit to the pyramid complex. After viewing the pyramids, take the chance to tour historic temples and discover the locations of the formal worship of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, which took place many thousands of years ago.
