Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Easter Trip for 7 Days\ 6 Nights

Begin your day with a good breakfast buffet in your Cairo hotel before meeting your English-speaking tour guide to start your thrilling Cairo Day Tour to the Giza Plateau.

Start with the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, a pyramid built over 4,500 years ago with more than 2.6 million blocks of stone. Historical accounts suggest that King Cheops had many sons, and the most famous were "Ghadf raa, Cheafren, and Hor Ghadf" who harbored conflicting relations among themselves.

You can check out the Pyramid of Chephren right next to it, which is the second largest pyramid on the plateau, having been constructed by Chephren himself who also built the Great Sphinx and its associated valley temple.

Exploration of Mycerinus's Pyramid awaits next, with the interesting feature that this pyramid was made of granite, not limestone, the other two materials.

Indeed, one of the few reasons to put the Great Sphinx on your agenda is that this soulful and so olden statue, showing the body of a lion and a pharaoh's face, symbolizes intelligence and strength. The splendiferously beautiful tour includes unmissable panoramas of the Giza pyramids for memorable photographs, plus complimentary 15-minute camel rides. You can as well fit in an encounter with the Solar Boat located behind the Great Pyramid.

Afterward, the expedition heads off to Saqqara to visit the oldest historical pyramid in the world called the Step Pyramid Complex, initially built for King Djoser over 4,600 years ago. Today, a visit to the Pyramid of Teti and its beautiful interior and the tombs of the ancient nobles, with amazing wall paintings and inscriptions illustrating daily life in ancient Egypt, is included.

You will then be heading to Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt, for a visit to its open-air museum, where lies the colossal statue of King Ramses II and the famous Alabaster Sphinx. At the end of the day, you will return to your hotel room and stay overnight in Cairo.

Meals: Breakfast.

Have your breakfast at the hotel, after which you will go on another eventful voyage guided by your maestro from Cairo Top Tours. Your first stop will be  the Grand Egyptian Museum, established in 1902, housing over 120,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt. The museum boasts huge statues and treasures, including the captivating  King Tutankhamun!

Your next itinerary will be the Citadel of Salah El Din, an impressive fortress constructed in ancient times by none other than the Sultant Saladin, Sungur's great ancestor, to encase Cairo from the assault of the Crusaders. Endeavor afterward to see the colossal mosque built by King Mohamed Ali in belated Turkish times, some 200 years ago.

Over the course of the forthcoming day, visitors would tour Coptic Cairo, a very significant location in Egypt as far as Christianity goes. It is traditionally believed that Christ sought sanctuary here while fleeing from King Herod along with the Virgin Mary. Having visited the Roman fortress of Babylon and the Hanging Church, a church constructed in the 3rd century AD, travelers will end the day with St. Sergius Church, a place where the Holy Family is said to have stayed for several months. The itinerary will also include Ben Ezra Synagogue.
In the afternoon, visit the Islamic district of Khan El Khalili, the oldest and most well-known bazaar in the Middle East that dates back to over a millennium.
After a long day of exploring, return to the hotel for a restful night stay in Cairo.
