Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with our Cairo Day Trip to the Giza Pyramids and Dahshur Pyramids, one of our top tours and activities in Cairo. Meet your private Egyptologist guide in the hotel lobby or any specified pickup location, and travel by exclusive air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Necropolis. Here, you’ll witness the last surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, who succeeded his father Djoser, the builder of the first stone pyramid.
You will also see the Pyramid of Chephren, built fifty years after the Great Pyramid and located just under two hundred meters away. The original smooth casing of the Giza pyramids, which some historians believe was made of pure gold, can be discerned from the remnants. Unlike the pyramids, was neglected and buried under sand for centuries until it was excavated in the early 20th century. Explore the Valley Temple of the King, which you’ll visit with your guide.
Next, continue your Egypt Tours to the nearby Dahshur Necropolis, located 26 km south of Cairo on the west bank of the Nile. This site includes the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid of King Sneferu, which are among the best-preserved pyramids from the 4th, 12th, and 13th dynasties. Conclude your Egypt Day Tours with a gourmet lunch before being transferred back to your hotel by a Cairo Top Tours vehicle.
