In the morning you will be transferred from your location to the Giza Pyramids. We begin with the pyramid station of Khufu, about whose reign little is known. This king is mainly known for his pyramid and his funerary complex. Khufu's funerary complex was much more than a funerary monument, or a testament to his megalomania, as has often been assumed. It was also an important economic center.
After that, we go to the Pyramid of Khafre, our next destination. Next, we proceed to Menkaure, the final pyramid. The internal structure of the pyramid is far less complex than those of Khufu and Khafre. The entrance (A) is located about 4 m above ground level on its northern face. The last stop in this area will be the Sphinx. It is believed that the Sphinx was originally quarried before King Khafre conceived the idea of carving it into a statue... The statue faces east, so the original directions were changed in the last century to match the Sphinx's viewpoint.
At a restaurant overlooking the pyramids, we have lunch before heading to the Egyptian Museum. Before the Greco-Roman era, the Egyptian museum in Cairo was constructed to hold the collection of monuments and masterpieces from the pre-dynastic period. Mariaette did not survive long enough to witness the results of his labors, which were finished by his helper Maspero, the early museum director. The museum in Egypt.
We are going to Coptic Cairo in the end. Explore Christian history and see the most well-known churches, including the Church of St. Sergius, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Hanging Church.
