Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx, Egyptian Museum and Cairo

  • A tour representative will meet and assist you at Cairo International Airport.

  • After that, you will be transferred to discover one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), along with three small pyramids.

  • Continue to explore the rest of the Giza Plateau, including Khafre's (Kaphren) Pyramid - Khufu's son and the second-largest pyramid on the Giza site - as well as the remains of the funerary temple, the pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinus), and three small pyramids.

  • Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, which dates from the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the pyramids of Chephren. This temple served two functions: first, it was used for the purification of the king's mummy before burial; second, it was used for the king's mummification process.

  • After visiting the pyramids, continue across the plateau for a photo of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background.

  • Proceed to have your lunch at a local restaurant with your Egypt tour guide.

  • Then move on to visit the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, commonly known as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo. It is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities and dates back some 5,000 years of art, considered the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian art. Over 250,000 genuine artifacts are presented, with a representative number on display and the remainder kept in storerooms.

  • In the evening, you will be driven to Cairo Airport.
