Day 01
Giza Pyramids, Great Sphinx and Valley Temple
- Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before your amazing Cairo day tour to the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx.
- Embark on a trip to the Pyramids of Giza and indulge in an exceptional excursion to Giza Necropolis, the most renowned archaeological site in Egypt. These pyramids were constructed during the Fourth Dynasty, a period known for its pyramid-building legacy in the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
- The pyramid built by King Khufu, the second ruler of the 4th Dynasty and successor to his father, King Snefru, who founded the 4th Dynasty in 2560 BC, stood at about 146 meters and remained the tallest man-made structure for almost 4,000 years.
- The Pyramids of Cairo, specifically the Great Pyramid, also recognized as the Pyramid of Cheops, is the oldest and largest of the trio in the Giza pyramid complex. It stands as one of the original Ancient Seven Wonders and is the only structure from that list that still remains intact.
- Concluding your visit to the Giza Necropolis, you'll encounter the Great Sphinx, an icon of Ancient Egyptian history dating back to the time of Chephren. The Sphinx is hewn from the bedrock of the Giza plateau and is considered the world's largest statue carved from a single piece of stone. You'll also explore the Valley Temple, believed to be mainly dedicated to the mummification process.
- Afterwards, enjoy a traditional meal for lunch, with Falafel or Koshary.
- Later, you'll be transferred to the airport.
