Day 01
Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar
- Get picked up by your Egypt tour representative from your hotel in Cairo and begin your Cairo and Giza tour.
- Transfer to discover one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), along with 3 small pyramids.
- Continue exploring the rest of the Giza Plateau, including Khafre's (Kaphren) pyramid, the second-largest pyramid on the Giza site, the remains of the Funeral Temple, the pyramid of Mankawra (Mykerinus), and 3 small pyramids.
- Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, which dates back to the time of Chephren.
- Pay 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 mummy of the king before burial; second, it was used for carrying out the mummification process of the king.
- After visiting the pyramids, continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands.
- 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 dating back more than 5,000 years and is considered the world's largest collection of Egyptian art.
- Drive to Khan El Khalili Bazaar, if there is enough time. One of the most famous and oldest bazaars in the Middle East, it is loud, crowded, colourful, and exciting - full of all kinds of goods and shiny baubles. You can find the typical tourist trinkets here, but do not let them distract you from the fine shopping to be found here.
- You will then be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
