Day 01
Giza Pyramids, Sakkara, and Memphis Discovery
- Start at 8:00 am with pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by your guide to begin your tour, where you will visit the Great Pyramids of Giza - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos.
- Then visit the Valley Temple, the place where the priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, owner of the second pyramid at the Giza Plateau. It is also the same place where you can have a close-up look at the Sphinx - the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funerary complex with its lion body and the head of King Chephren.
- Then continue your day tour to Sakkara, located only 27 km southwest of Cairo.
- Visit the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser. It is considered an important part of the process of pyramid evolution, from the simple mastaba to its widely known form.
- Then continue your day tour to Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt, where the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great Alabaster Sphinx are located. This city dates back to 3100 B.C.
- At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
