Your layover trip in the real capital will begin when you land at Cairo airport, where one of our representatives will be waiting for you with a qualified guide.
Your excursion begins with an unforgettable visit to see the area of the pyramids, starting with a visit to the Great Pyramid of King Khufu. Queen Hetep Haras I was his mother, and King Khufu assumed power after his father, Sneferu. Khufu's short name is “Khnum Khu Af Oyu," which translates as “Khnum is the one who protects me.". His rule began around 2650 B.C. Khufu is credited with creating the Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest building on Earth, and being the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The next step will be to the Khafre pyramid complex, where you can see the Pyramid of the King, the Valley Temple, the Temple of the Sphinx, a hallway, and a burial temple. A dozen findings of the Khafre statues were unearthed at the Valley Temple; in 1860, the archaeologist Mariette recovered dozens of them in a pit on the temple floor. Additional statues were discovered during the excavations of Hassan, Jonker, Reisner, and Sigalin (1909–1910). A sub-pyramid with a crypt and five boat pits was also part of the Khafre complex.
After that, we will discover the third, which is called the Pyramid of Menkaure, which is classified as one of the four main monuments of the complex of the Pyramids of Giza. Menkaure is the only one that does not retain any of its original shell of polished limestone.
Next, we will visit Saqqara, another well-known tourist destination in Cairo. Some Egyptian aristocrats began constructing their tombs in Saqqara during the First and Second Egyptian Dynasties. The Director's Bridge, a mastaba constructed during the time of King Kha-Sakhmuwi, the final monarch of the Second Dynasty, was one of the first royal buildings in Saqqara. Mastabas and pyramids were still being built in Saqqara during the dynasties.
At the end of the excursion, we will bring you to the airport to take your flight to your country.
