When you arrive at Cairo International Airport, our Cairo Top Tours will be waiting for you holding a signboard with your name written on it and he will accompany you through the hotel in Cairo or Giza by a private vehicle, when you arrive at the hotel you will check-in with the help of our agent or if it's not the check-in time yet you can leave your luggage and transfer to Giza necropolis with your English-speaking tour guide to enjoy your Giza Pyramids tour.

You will stand close to the only remaining wonder of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of King Cheops which was built 4500 years ago to serve as an eternal home for the semi-god king, the structure enormously standing at a height of 146 meters and 230 meters long for each side to tell us how great and advanced the kings of Egypt were to build such incredible buildings at the dawn of history, the stone blocks are believed to be cut and transported from nearby quarries and their weight varies between 5 to 25 tons each.

Continue to the high plateau to get a full view of the 3 pyramids including the pyramid of King Chephren and King Mycerinus with the queen's pyramids beside the smallest pyramid which contains good evidence for the beautiful outer casing on the lower 16 rows. Your Bedouin guide will take amazing photos while you enjoy a camel ride around Giza Pyramids (optional excursion) before moving to see the magnificent Sphinx of Giza which is part of the pyramid complex of King Chephren and is believed to be built for the king himself to signify how powerful the pharaoh used to be as the lion and as genius as the human with a famous figure of a lion body and the head of a man.
The Valley Temple of Chephren is also close to the sphinx that was carved from the bedrock, this is the place where the mummification of the royal body took place as part of the funeral rituals.

Have your tasty lunch in one of the most beautiful restaurants overlooking the pyramids and the sphinx before continuing your tours in Giza to visit the area known as Saqqara, the necropolis of an earlier period roughly 200 years before the great kings who built the 3 pyramids in Giza, now you will see the first-ever stone pyramid which was built by the genius architect Imhotep for his King Djoser, the Step Pyramid in Saqqara is great evidence of the development of the pyramids building process as it is composed of six rectangular steps above each other and the burial pit is underneath by means of 20 meters. Wander around the area to see the original enclosure walls and the hep-sed court where the king used to renew his sovereignty over the kingdom by the attendance of the nomes rulers to accept him for the next 30 years as their king and semi-god.

You will also have the chance to enter the pyramid of King Teti who ruled Egypt during the 6th dynasty and get fascinated by the tomb of his son-in-law Kagemni, the tomb has random scenes for almost every kind of animal, fish, and bird depicting the daily life hunting scenes carved in perfection in addition to the good preservation for the original colors.

Your next station will be where the ancient city of Memphis used to be, the first capital of Egypt which is now an open-air museum with many artifacts and statues of King Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx, the second biggest sphinx in the history of Egypt.
