Voyage au Caire & Croisière sur le Nil

After breakfast, you're going to the Giza pyramids.
Your journey will take you to view a number of noteworthy buildings, such as the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which was constructed by Snefru's son and was created before the lesser Second Pyramid of Chephren existed. You'll also get to see the tiniest royal pyramid in Giza, built for King Mycerinus. Next, your knowledgeable tour guide will give you a little history of the Sphinx before taking you to the Valley Temple, which is also referred to as King Chephren's mummification temple. Utilizing granite from Aswan quarries, this temple was constructed and finished with white alabaster. In the 4th Dynasty, Khufu's son Chephren took over as emperor.
