In the morning, you will tour to Giza Pyramids, which were built during the 4th Dynasty (2613-2494 BC) and are considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. You'll also see The Great Sphinx of Giza, a human-headed lion with the body of a lion that stands tall at 73 meters (240 feet) long and 20 meters (65 feet) high. It was carved out of limestone by Pharaoh Khafra. This stunning limestone statue is one of the largest in the world and has stood watch over its city since 2500 BC. You will have sufficient time to ride a camel and take photos to remember these delightful Cairo day tours.
