Itinerary
Although the Sultan Hassan and Al-Rifai mosques are geographically close, separated by only a few meters, sometimes leading some to believe they are one mosque, the time gap between them is over 500 years. The Sultan Hassan Mosque was built in 1356, while the Al-Rifai Mosque was commissioned by Khushyar Hanem, the mother of Khedive Ismail, in 1869. Enjoy a tour of these two mosques with us after your airport pickup. Enjoy a delicious lunch before continuing our journey to the Pyramids.
You will visit the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was the tallest building in the world for 3800 years. After that, you will enjoy visiting the pyramid of King Khafre, most likely the son of King Khufu by a secondary wife, who ascended to the throne after King Djedefre had seized power. Khafre's pyramid is comparable in grandeur to Khufu's. Discover the fascinating legends of the Sphinx, which was deified by the pharaohs, and the final stop on this visit is the Pyramid of Menkaure and its complex.
