Start your day with a delicious breakfast at your Cairo hotel before meeting your certified Egyptologist guide from Cairo Top Tours. Embark on a journey to the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world that still stands today. Marvel at the pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, as well as the famous Sphinx and the temple of the valley. Our classic tour of the plateau includes a panoramic view of all the pyramids, perfect for capturing stunning photos.
Next, we'll head to Saqqara to explore the Step Pyramid complex, home to the world's first all-stone building, the Djoser Pyramid. Discover the interior of the pyramid of Teti, which boasts the most spectacular interior of all accessible pyramids. Then, visit the tombs of the nobles of Saqqara to gain insight into daily life in ancient Egypt through the inscriptions and paintings on the walls and corridors of these 4000-year-old tombs.
After a lunch break, we'll head to Memphis, the capital of the pharaohs for over a thousand years and a significant cultural and religious center throughout ancient Egyptian civilization. Explore the open-air museum, famous for the alabaster sphinx, the second-largest made out of an eighty-ton block of marble, and the fallen gigantic statue of Ramses the second.
At the end of the day, return to your hotel for a relaxing overnight stay in Cairo. Breakfast and lunch are included in the tour.
