Giza Plateau, Saqqara, and Dahshur Exploration
Pick up from your hotel at 08:00 or 9:00 am and head to the Giza Pyramids with your Egyptian tour guide.
Begin your tour at the Giza Plateau and see the Great Pyramid of Giza (Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops), the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Also see the Pyramid of Khafre, visit the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Tomb of Queen Khentkaus, all situated in the same complex.
Visit the Great Sphinx, which has the body of a lion, the face of a pharaoh, and a tail that wraps around the right hind paw. You can also take an optional camel ride from the pyramids to the Sphinx.
Proceed to the Valley Temple, located opposite the statue of the Great Sphinx. It is one of the oldest stone buildings in Egypt and features a unique architectural style made of enormous stones.
Continue to the Saqqara and Dahshur area to witness the pyramids of Saqqara and the tombs there.
You may also choose an optional visit to the Papyrus Institute, where you can learn more about the papermaking process, admire the artworks, and buy souvenirs.
Take a break from sightseeing and have lunch (optional).
At the end of the tour, drop off at your hotel or at Khal El Khalili market, where you can buy antiquities, perfumes, and handicrafts, and enjoy a delicious cup of Arabian coffee.
