Egypt Itinerary 6 Days

After early morning breakfast at the hotel, you will be ready to meet your private Egyptologist guide in the hotel lobby to begin your tour of the pyramids of Giza. On the way to the Giza necropolis, the guide will tell you a brief history of Egypt. Upon arrival at the Giza Plateau, you will stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, which was built by the king during his reign (2500 B.C.) due to the prosperity Egypt achieved during this period, which is known as the golden period or pyramid-building period, which was marked by massive structures built for kings and rulers of Egypt to use as burial tombs, and also played an important role in keeping the Pharaoh name alive throughout history.

From here you will continue to a higher plateau where you will see the second pyramid of King Chephren and have a spectacular view of the entire Giza plateau, including the pyramid of King Meekerin with 3 neighboring pyramids of queens.

In front of the temple is the famous statue of the humanoid lion known as the Great Sphinx, which guarded the necropolis for centuries, we think this sphinx was carved for King Chephren himself.
