5 Days Cairo Christmas Trip

After breakfast at the hotel, our program begins with a visit to the world-renowned Great Pyramids of Giza, which is located on the outskirts of bustling Cairo. These magnificent ancient structures, such as the oldest and largest Cheops pyramid, Khafre with its intact top, and the smaller Menkaura pyramid, stand as remarkable remnants of the ancient world. Adjacent to the pyramids, we'll encounter the enigmatic Sphinx, a captivating limestone sculpture that attracts global attention. This excursion to the Great Pyramids promises to be an unforgettable highlight of your Cairo tour.

Subsequently, our Cairo day tour proceeds to Saqqara, which is situated approximately 27 km southwest of Cairo. Here, we explore the Step Pyramid, which is also known as the Djoser Pyramid, an architectural marvel that marks a significant milestone in the development of pyramid structures. Serving as the world's first stone construction of its kind, it evolved from the simple mastaba design to its renowned shape.
