Your tour guide will meet you after your filling open-buffet breakfast in the hotel and accompany you on your Cairo day trip to the Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara.
Your Cairo day tours should begin with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, where you will be astounded by their size. These enormous structures were built during the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt history by the most powerful kings and rulers as proof or evidence of the accomplishment they attained 4500 years ago thanks to the Nile River, which contributed with the remarkable/fundamental life requirements to achieve such a tremendous civilization that still astounds history enthusiasts.
See the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, who was impacted by his father's ambitious endeavors to construct enormous burial tombs, King Snefru, who was the founder of the 4th ruling family and owner of the 4 pyramids that have a well-known reputation as a large-scale construction project, and other structures, The building stood at a height of 146 meters with 230 meters long for each side and was built by King Cheops (Khufu in ancient Egyptian) using more than 2.3 million limestone blocks to serve as his eternal residence from which he would ascend to heaven.
going by the high plateau to see the three pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus in all their beauty. You can see the queen pyramids within the Cheops pyramid complex, which were built for his mother Queen Hetepheres and his beloved wife Queen Merite. Chephren, who was Cheops' son, built his pyramid slightly smaller in comparison to his father, with a height of 136 meters and some ruins of the outer casing at the apex.
Visit the Great Sphinx in Giza, a figure of a lion with a human head that is believed to have been created by King Chephren himself because it is located within his pyramid complex, and go inside the Valley Temple, where the king was mummified as part of the burial ritual.
Continue your sightseeing in Cairo by traveling to Memphis, an ancient city that is now known as Mit Rahina. Here, you can visit the open-air museum that features the second-largest sphinx made of alabaster and the enormous statue of King Ramses II, who was the most powerful ruler during the new kingdom.
Your next stop should be Saqqara tours to see the step pyramid, which is thought to be the first stone pyramid ever built by King Djoser, the second king of the third dynasty. The step pyramid is located in the Saqqara Necropolis and represents an important development stage for pyramids because it has six steps that are stacked on top of one another. You will also see King Teti's pyramid from the sixth dynasty and a tomb of a nobleman held by his daughter's spouse, Kagemni, a brilliant vizier of justice who was wed to Nebtynubkhet Sesheshet.
You will have a gourmet lunch in a good-quality restaurant overlooking the pyramids of Giza before being transferred back to your hotel.
