Overnight stay in Cairo.
Start your day by enjoying breakfast at your hotel, and soon after you will be met by your Cairo Top Tours Egyptologist guide, who will guide you to see extraordinary sites across Egypt.
At the Giza Plateau you will start your exploration, which features the Great Pyramid that King Khufu (Cheops) built during two decades as an engineering masterpiece. You will see three pyramids, including Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mykerinus), built during the time of King Khufu's successors.
Nearby, stand in awe before the legendary Great Sphinx, a powerful symbol of ancient Egyptian strength and wisdom with the body of a lion and the face of a king. The Valley Temple of King Khafre stands out through its combination of bright red granite and smooth alabaster surface, which began its journey from Aswan. The sacred establishment served an essential function in the royal process of mummification.
Your journey should lead you afterwards to the Egyptian Museum that offers an unmatched collection of ancient relics. Travellers can find the splendid funerary objects of King Tutankhamun which archaeologist Howard Carter discovered during his 1922 excavation in the Valley of the Kings. The institution provides visitors with exceptional access to the wealthiest historical chapter of Egypt.
