Day 01
Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili
- Pick up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by your tour guide to start the tour.
- Drive to the Giza Pyramids, where you will visit the Great Pyramids - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos.
- Visit the Valley Temple, where the priests mummified King Chephren's dead body. You will also have a close-up look at the Sphinx, the legendary guardian that stands beside the massive funerary complex with its lion body and King Chephren's head.
- Explore Khufu's pyramid complex, which consists of a valley temple now buried beneath the village of Nazlet El-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been found there, but the site has not been excavated.
- Proceed to Khafre's pyramid complex, which consists of a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king's pyramid. The valley temple yielded several statues of Khafre, and Mariette found several of them in a well on the temple floor in 1860.
- Visit Menkaure's pyramid complex, which consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king's pyramid. The valley temple once contained several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple.
- See the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, which displays some of the most significant and precious items of Egyptian art in the world. It exhibits a rare collection of over 250,000 genuine artifacts dating back as far as 5000 years, including an exclusive exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamon - a collection of treasures, gold, and jewellery that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in the 1920s during the excavation of his tomb.
- Explore Khan Al-Khalili and later transfer to your desired destination.
