Day 01
Giza Plateau, Sphinx and Ancient Egyptian Secrets
- Pick up from your hotel and transfer to the Giza Plateau for a guided tour of the greatest of all: the 9 Giza pyramids and the Sphinx.
- Learn about their historical, architectural, and astronomical background, which answers several questions about how and by whom the pyramids were built, as well as their relation to the stars in the constellations.
- A rewarding desert camel ride, offering an excellent angle to capture all 9 pyramids in one photo from the desert side, could be an option.
- Learn about the secrets of mummification at the Valley Temple, where it took place.
- Learn about the cult of the Sphinx at the Ra Hor Akhty temple.
- Have a break in the Sphinx village, where we see and learn about some of the materials used in mummification.
- Also learn about language and writing materials in ancient Egypt, including the imperishable paper.
- Finally, for your convenience, an optional gift-shopping experience will be available before returning to your hotel.
