Our first stop is the pyramids of Giza. The Giza Pyramids are home to the three main pyramids, they are built for the pharaohs of Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty, and the Great Sphinx. The first pyramid is the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops). It is the largest and oldest of the three, and it was built around 2580 BC. It is standing 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall, and it was the tallest structure on Earth for over 3,800 years. The second pyramid is The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), and the third one is The Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinos). Also, see the Great Sphinx, which is a huge monument with a pharaoh's head and a lion's body. The pyramid complex includes a valley temple and causeway, showing the ritual journey of the king’s spirit toward forever.
After visiting the ancient pyramids, you will also visit Memphis and Saqqara. These destinations offer a great opportunity to experience two of Egypt's most iconic archaeological sites up close and learn about the rich history of Egyptian civilization.
You will visit Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt and one of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded around 3100 BC by King Narmer (Menes), the pharaoh who unified Upper and Lower Egypt. In addition, Memphis became the heart of political power, religion, and culture for more than eight dynasties during the Old Kingdom.
Next, you'll head to Saqqara, where you'll see the world's first known pyramid. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is an amazing structure. After exploring Saqqara, you'll visit the Papyrus Institute, where you'll learn about the ancient art of papermaking. Also, you'll have a chance to make your own. The Papyrus Institute is not just a museum; it’s a living workshop where visitors can watch artisans recreate ancient techniques exactly as they were practiced thousands of years ago.
This tour will be a highlight memory in your life. The Giza pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara tour is a great way to learn about the history and culture of ancient Egypt.
