"Travel from the city of the dead (Saqqara) to the ancient city of the living: Memphis. Founded by King Menes around 3100 BC, this was the very first capital of unified Egypt. You will wander through the open-air museum at Mit Rahina to see the remnants of this legendary city, including the beautiful Alabaster Sphinx and various statues of ancient deities."

"Save the best for last with a visit to the Giza Plateau, home to the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Here, you will stand in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, gaze up at the Pyramid of Chephren, and see the Pyramid of Menkaure. The experience continues with a visit to the Valley Temple, where kings were mummified, and a close-up encounter with the enigmatic Great Sphinx, the legendary guardian that has watched over the plateau for 4,500 years."
