Enjoy a journey with us among the tombs of the pharaohs, who considered them a source of resurrection rather than mere graves. Take a tour with your guide among the claws of the Sphinx and discover the hieroglyphics and legends associated with this guardian. The driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the entrance of the Pyramids. Your guide will then take you to the first pyramid. The shape of a pyramid was considered representative of the rays emerging from the sun. Pyramids were also often named to emphasize their solar luminescence. For example, the official name of the Bent Pyramid of Snefru (2575-2551) at Dahshur was: wnt snfrw "Shards of Snefru" or xa rsj "She who shines in the South.
Our guide will share with you more important information about that era and the ancient Egyptian religion that led to the construction of these towering buildings, then you will move with him to the pyramid of Khafre and Menkaure to learn about these great kings and their politics as each one's politics differ from the other. The penultimate destination will be the Sphinx. With its human head and lion's body, the Sphinx of Giza is a therianthropic statue, that is, a statue that completely or partially transforms a human being into an animal. This representation is unusual in Egypt. The gods are generally represented inversely with a human body and an animal's head. With the Sphinx of Giza, it's the opposite! The pharaoh represented here has a lion's body symbolizing strength and a human head. And this inversion of tradition, desired by its patron, elevates the pharaoh to the status of a god.
At the end, you will start a completely different tour where excitement and adrenaline will start a new adventure away from historical information. Our representative will be with you step by step to start your material journey and at the end he will take you for a delicious lunch in a restaurant overlooking the pyramids to remember the events of the day while eating your lunch after that you will be transferred to your hotel.
