Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Optional Camel Ride

  • Meet your tour guide in the hotel lobby and set out to explore one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World. Enter the site with your Egyptologist guide and marvel at the pyramids as your guide explains how these monumental tombs were built around 2,500 BCE for three pharaohs. You will also have free time to explore inside one of the pyramids independently at an additional cost, as your guide is not permitted to accompany you.

  • You may also take an optional camel ride at an additional cost and enjoy sweeping views over Central Cairo.

  • See the enigmatic Sphinx and, if you wish, complete your tour with an optional visit to the Solar Boat Museum at an additional cost. Here, you can admire the funerary boat of Khufu, the pharaoh for whom the largest Giza pyramid was built, and learn how its remains were discovered and reassembled by archaeologists.

  • Stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Optional tours are available at an extra charge.

  • Transfer back to the hotel.
