Your tour leader will be waiting for you when you arrive at Cairo International Airport with a signboard bearing your name. You will be driven in a private new vehicle to the hotel in Giza to drop off your luggage before beginning your Cairo itinerary with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, where the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, Chephren's Second Pyramid, and Mycerinus's Third Pyramid all stand proudly.
Cheops pyramid, built by the great king who was the son of Snefru, the founder of the 4th dynasty and owner of 4 other impressive pyramids, of which two are in Dahshur, was the tallest and most impressive structure in the world until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311 A.D.
Then we will go to the area where you will have the scenery of the whole necropolis while enjoying an optional camel ride in Giza Pyramids before getting down to visit the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx, the temple was built to be part of the funerary procession, from there we will reach the sphinx by means of a passageway to stand very close to the impressive statue of a lion with a man's head.
Enjoy a sumptuous lunch in one of the most opulent eateries with a view of the pyramids and the Sphinx before visiting the Saqqara Necropolis. Upon arrival, you will see the pyramid that Imhotep, the brilliant architect, first constructed for his King Djoser entirely out of stone.
The tomb of his daughter's wife, Kagemni, who ruled Egypt during the sixth ruling family, will also be accessible to you. The tomb has viral inscriptions for every species of animal, fish, and bird representing the daily life hunting and offering scenes carved in an ideal state in addition to the good preservation for the unique colors. King Teti's pyramid will also be accessible to you. He ruled Egypt during this time.
Your next stop will be where the old city of Memphis used to be, the 1st capital of Egypt which is now known as Mit Rahina, and what remains only is an open-air museum with many monuments and statues for King Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx, the 2nd greatest sphinx in the history of Egypt.
Upon completion of your first day's Cairo excursions, you will be driven back to your hotel for check-in. However, you have the option to partake in one of our evening activities, such as a superior Nile Dinner Cruise in Cairo or the Sound and Light Show at the Giza Pyramids.
