Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Christmas Vacation

Your buffet breakfast will be prepared and served in the main restaurant at your hotel in Cairo then start your Cairo day trips. Our accredited tour guide will pick you up to explore the Great Pyramids in Giza, starting with the pyramid of King Cheops, the greatest of all the Egyptian pyramids. It was built by the hands of 100,000 workers as expected by archaeologists and historians.

The huge pyramid of King Chephren was built almost 20 years after the Great Pyramids using millions of limestone blocks by the son and the heir of Cheops who belongs to the 4th dynasty Pharaohs, and the small pyramid of Mycerinus. And you will learn how pyramids were constructed by ancient Egyptians.

The high Giza plateau is the place where you will admire the scenic view of the whole necropolis with the chance to enjoy a camel ride around the Giza Pyramids (optional activity) to capture some breathtaking photos with the help of your Bedouin guide.

Now you will go down to see the head of the king on a lion's body figure symbolizing a guardian to the pyramids standing behind. The old name of the Sphinx is unknown, and we believe the Greeks took the name Sphinx from an old name that was most probably Shipses-ankh, which means (the living image of a deity).

Enjoy a panoramic view of all the Giza pyramids together during your Egypt tours, and we will help you to take the most amazing pictures. You can visit the Solar Boat Museum if you wish, but you will need to book an extra ticket on the spot.

Finally, you will have the chance to enter the pyramid of King Teti or the pyramid of King Unas.

Your last destination on this day is Memphis City, the capital of Egypt during the pyramids' building age for almost one thousand years, and it is considered a very important cultural and also religious capital of the Egyptian empire throughout the three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history, Upon arrival, you will visit the museum of Memphis to see the treasures of the ancient city including the alabaster sphinx and the huge statue of King Ramses ll.

Then we will take you to the Citadel of Saladin which was built during the twelfth century to reinforce Cairo and the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Basha, one of many buildings inside the citadel and belonging to the Albanian-origin ruler of Egypt during the 1st half of the 17th century. Enjoy the scenery of Islamic Cairo with all the amazing mosques, captivating minarets, and interesting domes.
