12 días El Cairo, Alejandría, El Nilo y Hurghada para grupos

Comience el segundo día de sus paquetes turísticos de 12 días en grupo con esta excursión de medio día a las pirámides de Giza y la esfinge. Le recogeremos en el hotel de El Cairo a las 9:00 horas para dirigirnos a la meseta de las pirámides de Guiza, donde visitaremos la Gran Pirámide de Keops, la Pirámide de Kefrén y la Pirámide de Micerino. La Gran Pirámide es una de las estructuras más impresionantes jamás construidas por la humanidad. Se terminó de construir alrededor del año 2560 a.C., y se tardó más de 20 años en hacerlo: ¡los constructores sólo utilizaron herramientas de cobre! La Gran Pirámide sigue considerándose hoy una de las maravillas del mundo porque ha permanecido tanto tiempo sin ser destruida o dañada por terremotos u otros desastres naturales.

Después de visitar las pirámides, nos dirigiremos a ver otra maravilla antigua: la Gran Esfinge. La Esfinge es un monumento de piedra con cabeza humana y cuerpo de león que se remonta a unos 4.500 años antes de Cristo; ¡es uno de los monumentos más antiguos que siguen en pie!

 Si le queda tiempo, puede dar un paseo en camello por un pueblo cercano del desierto para degustar la auténtica cocina egipcia y comprar recuerdos.

Después de esta excursión, regresaremos a su hotel en El Cairo para almorzar, tener tiempo libre y pasar la noche en su hotel.
