  • You will be picked up from your hotel in Cairo by your tour guide to enjoy an excursion to the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus.
  • Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, which dates from the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramid of Chephren.
  • Next, visit the Egyptian Museum, which features artefacts from the Pharaonic period. The museum displays a rare collection spanning 5,000 years of art and is considered the largest and most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. You can see over 250,000 genuine artefacts displayed in the museum, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun's gold and jewellery treasures. This collection was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in the 1920s, when the tomb was uncovered.
