An Egyptologist tour guide from Cairo Top Tours will meet you early in the morning at a scheduled time to begin your exploration of the Great Pyramids. Here, you'll witness one of the ancient world's Seven Wonders, the colossal pyramid of King Cheops, alongside the pyramids of King Khafra, King Chephren, and Mycerinus.
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. Before returning to your hotel, explore Ben Ezra Synagogue and the historic Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest marketplaces in the Middle East.
The Giza Pyramids tour spans approximately 8 hours and is family-friendly, and suitable for children and teenagers. We recommend dressing in light-coloured clothing, wearing hats, and using sunscreen for your comfort.
