Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Join the guide at 9:00 a.m. to kick off an exhilarating half-day tour of the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, commencing directly from your accommodation in Cairo. Begin your journey towards the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus, marveling at the ancient wonders that constitute the oldest remaining structure of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Historians believe that the Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, was constructed as the final resting place of the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, painstakingly built over a 14 to 20-year span in 2560 BC.

During the tour, embrace the opportunity to ride a camel for 30 minutes, capturing exquisite photographs of your enthralling trip with the assistance of your knowledgeable guide.

Stop 3

Following this, your adventure continues to the illustrious Great Sphinx. This monumental structure, featuring the head of a pharaoh atop a lion's body, traces its origins back to the era of King Chephren. Crafted as a guardian for the pyramids of King Chefren, the Sphinx stands as an enduring testament to the ancient world's ingenuity and craftsmanship. Subsequently, explore the Valley Temple, an integral component linked to the Pyramids of Chephren, serving as a site dedicated to the purification and mummification rituals conducted for the king before interment.

Conclude this memorable excursion with a delectable lunch at a VIP restaurant, accompanied by your insightful guide, before making your way back to your hotel, savoring the remnants of an unforgettable journey through the storied wonders of ancient Egypt.
