Our company will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor and transfer you to ancient Cairo. Your guide will follow you to snap pictures with these animals once you have finished riding a camel around the Giza pyramids. We will next go inside the pyramids and get on the buses that are assigned to the region.
See the Pyramid of Khufu. Learn about this monument and the history of its powerful king who sent expeditions to Wadi al-Maghara to bring turquoise. Where his name and an image of him striking a man on the head with a battle pin were found. He has one ivory statue that was discovered at Abydos. His name is engraved on the throne. The statue is five centimeters tall and is now in the Egyptian Museum. He ruled according to the Turin Papyrus. (Your guide will show you this statue in the Egyptian Museum later.)
After that, ride the bus to the Sphinx and the Khafre and Menkaure Pyramids station. After hearing the interesting and entertaining history, we will move to the Egyptian Museum to see the most important pieces inside, such as: The statue of Khasekhem.

After that, we head to the Coptic churches and visit their landmarks, such as the Hanging Church. The main church's entry door still had a wooden lintel, according to writers from the 19th century. It represents in relief the victorious entry of Christ into Jerusalem on the left, and the Ascension of Christ on the right. It dates. from the fourth to the sixth centuries. At present it is placed in the Coptic Museum in Old Cairo.)You can ask about our offers to enter the Coptic Museum(
