Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Pyramids of Giza are one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring attractions in the world. Located on the outskirts of Cairo, these ancient wonders include the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Built over 4,500 years ago, they served as monumental tombs for the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Visitors can marvel at the impressive size and precise construction of the pyramids, explore the surrounding complex, and take unforgettable photos with the majestic Sphinx — a limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. A visit to the Pyramids of Giza offers a unique glimpse into Egypt’s rich history and its incredible achievements in architecture and engineering.

Stop 2

the great sphinx was curved from single block of limestone 73 m long and about 22 m high with the body of the lion symbolizing the force and the powers of king khafre and the head of man symbolizing the intelligence of king khafre

Lunch – A Taste of Egypt
During the tour, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, where you’ll be served traditional dishes such as grilled chicken or kofta, rice, salads, and freshly baked bread. The meal offers a perfect break in the day, giving you the chance to taste authentic flavors in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. (Please note that beverages are not included.)

Saqqara (Sakkara) – The Step into Ancient Architecture
Saqqara is home to Egypt’s oldest pyramid — the Step Pyramid of King Djoser — built in the 27th century BC. Designed by the famous architect Imhotep, this pyramid marked a revolutionary moment in ancient Egyptian architecture. Saqqara served as a vast royal necropolis for centuries, and visitors can explore fascinating tombs with colorful carvings and hieroglyphics that provide insight into ancient daily life and beliefs.

Stop 4

Memphis – Egypt’s First Capital
Located just a short drive from Saqqara, Memphis was the first capital of unified Egypt, founded around 3100 BC. Today, visitors can stroll through the open-air museum that showcases impressive artifacts, including the massive statue of Ramses II carved from limestone, and the beautiful Alabaster Sphinx. Memphis offers a glimpse into the grandeur and political power of ancient Egypt at its height.
