Your first stop will be the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids, built by the renowned monarchs of the Old Kingdom's Fourth Dynasty – King Cheops, his second son Chephren, and his grandson Mycerinus. Marvel at the colossal Sphinx of Giza, a captivating figure with the head of a man and the body of a lion. Continue your sightseeing tour with a visit to the Valley Temple, where the Pharaohs' bodies were once mummified.

The process of mummification was a complex and intricate ritual undertaken by the ancient Egyptians, where the deceased's organs, including the brain, were removed, and the heart was preserved. This practice was carried out by high priests in the mortuary temples located on the west bank of Thebes, ensuring the deceased a comfortable afterlife and the continued enjoyment of their wealth.

Next, you'll embark on a visit to the renowned Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo, home to the largest and most precious collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts and treasures from various eras spanning over 6,000 years of history. Here, you'll have the opportunity to explore the stunning collection, including the legendary treasures of Tutankhamun.

If time permits, you may also have the chance to explore the vibrant Khan El Khalili, Cairo's bustling old bazaar, before your tour leader escorts you back to Sokhna Port, completing your immersive journey through the wonders of ancient Egyptian history.
