Giza, Saqqara and Memphis Discovery

Connect with your tour guide and start the program.
Go to Giza, where you will visit the Great Pyramids - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos.
Then head to the Valley Temple, where the priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren. Also, get a close-up look at the Sphinx - the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funerary complex with the lion body of King Chephren.
Stop at Saqqara, located 27 km southwest of Cairo, to see the Step Pyramid built for King Zoser. It is considered an important part of pyramid evolution, having developed from a simple mastaba into the widely known pyramid form.
The next stop is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you will see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great Alabaster Sphinx, dating back to 3100 BC.
