Day 01

Giza Plateau, Great Sphinx and Valley Temple

Meet your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo.
Head to the Giza Plateau to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) and the 3 small pyramids. Continue exploring the rest of the Giza Plateau, including the sight of Khafre's pyramid - Khufu's son and the second-largest pyramid on the Giza site - the remains of the funerary temple, the pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinus), and 3 small pyramids.
Proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, which dates from the time of Chephren.
Visit the Valley Temple, which belongs to the pyramids of Chephren. This temple definitely 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 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.
Return to your hotel.
