Wonderful trip to NMEC and Giza Pyramids

Overview

Wonderful tour to NMEC and Giza Pyramids

Royal construction activity at the site of Giza began with King Khufu. It continued with his son Khafre, and then his son Menkaure. The last member of the Fourth Dynasty royal family to be buried at this site was Queen Khentkaus I, a daughter of Menkaure and the wife of King Shepseskaf (2472-2467). 

Subsequent kings favored Saqqara for the construction of their funerary complex. The eastern one was primarily used as a necropolis for a few privileged members of the Fourth Dynasty royal family. Your guide will provide you with important and additional information about this area.

Itinerary

Our tours start in the morning. We will meet you and transfer you to the Giza Pyramids area. Our first destination will be the Pyramid of Khufu.  It does not appear to have undergone any changes to its exterior plans; scholars suggest that the architect was Vizier Hemiunu. Much of the pyramid's internal construction was constructed inside the monument rather than beneath it, similar to the Snefru pyramids at Dahshur. This is a practice that would be abandoned by builders on subsequent pyramids.

Then our guide will take you to the Pyramid of Khafre. The Pyramid of Khafre is only 3 meters smaller than that of Khufu. It is the second largest in Egypt. Your guide will then direct you to the Pyramid of Menkaure to complete the pyramid complex. Your guide will then direct you to the Pyramid of Menkaure to complete the pyramid complex. "Good, pious, and devout"—a man of sanctity—was described by ancient historians in their writings as King Menkaure, who was known in later times as a wise man of the Ramesside period.

After visiting the Sphinx, we will rest and your guide will take you to a restaurant overlooking the pyramids for lunch. Then we will continue the trip to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.The museum includes a section dedicated to Nubian and oasis heritage.

It displays Nubian clothing styles and handicrafts, as well as Siwan heritage. These Nubian garments were called "gargar," a Nubian word meaning "the one who drags behind him." They were worn by women of the Nubian Fediga tribes and were popular among the princesses of the Scouts and the princesses of the kingdoms of Abrim, El-Dur, and Abu Simbel. It was a royal garment imitated by all classes of people. Paintings depicting Nubian girls wearing a delicate gown while participating in celebrations appear on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples. Enjoy the other sections of the museum, then you will be transferred to your hotel.
