Our tour guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza at 8:00 am to begin your half-day excursion to the Giza pyramid and Sphinx.
Your first stop will be the Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, the oldest and largest pyramid in the Giza complex, and the only intact Wonder of the Ancient World.
Next, we'll visit the Pyramid of Khafre, the second tallest and largest pyramid at Giza, housing the tomb of Pharaoh Khafre, who ruled from 2558 to 2532 BC. Then, we'll proceed to the Pyramid of Mykerinus.
During our visit to the King Chephren Valley Temple, you'll have a closer look at the Great Sphinx, an iconic guardian perched atop a vast burial site, featuring the heads of Pharaoh Khafre and a lion.
After exploring the pyramids, enjoy a camel ride nearby.
Our next stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum , home to a priceless collection of over 250,000 authentic artifacts dating back 5000 years, including a special exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen's treasures discovered in 1920.
We'll then visit the Saladin Citadel, constructed by Salah al-Din in 1183 AD as a defense against Crusader soldiers. Today, it's a well-preserved historic district with mosques and museums, offering sweeping views of Cairo.
Lunch will be served at a restaurant in Old Cairo.
In Old Cairo, marvel at landmarks like the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Church of St. Barbara, and Church of Abu Serga, one of Cairo's oldest Coptic churches.
Explore Khan el-Khalili, one of the oldest bazaars in the Middle East, with its labyrinthine alleys serving as Cairo's bustling commercial center since the 14th century.
Finally, return to your Cairo hotel for an overnight stay.
