Day 02

Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo

  • Have breakfast and head to the Giza Plateau to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) and 3 small pyramids. You will continue to explore the rest of the Giza Plateau, including the sight of Khafre's (Kaphren) pyramid - Khufu's son and the second-largest pyramid on the Giza site - the remains of the funeral temple, the pyramid of Mankawra (Mykerinus), and 3 small pyramids.
  • Proceed to 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 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, you'll continue across the plateau for a photo of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background.
  • Explore 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 about 5,000 years of art and is considered the world's most extensive and valuable collection of Egyptian art. More than 250,000 original artifacts are presented, with a representative amount on display while the rest are kept in storage. The Egyptian Museum is filled with thousands of pharaonic artifacts, including the golden treasures of King Tutankhamun. Fascinating objects such as jewels, headdresses, alabaster vases, and toys from ancient Egypt are all on display. Many priceless statues and artifacts were kept in his tomb for more than 3,500 years before their discovery in 1922, and these can also be seen in the Egyptian Museum. It is one of the first stops on most people's itineraries when travelling to Egypt. This distinctive museum houses a vast store of priceless objects from earlier times to the Greco-Roman period and is well worth seeing. After this, you will be served a warm, delightful lunch meal at a high-quality restaurant.
  • Head to Old Cairo to visit the Hanging Church, built in the 3rd and beginning of the 4th century in the Basilica style. Also see the Abu Sirga Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue, which date back to the beginning of the 15th century AD. It was built in the Basilica style above the cave where the Holy Family took refuge.
  • See the Amr Ibn El-Aas Mosque, the first mosque built in Egypt.
