Your day starts when you finish breakfast at your hotel and travel to see the Great Pyramids on the Giza Plateau, which stands as one of Egypt's most famous sites located ten miles from Cairo's main area. The ancient structures remain as one of the remaining Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramid of Cheops, which stands as the oldest and largest pyramid, dates back more than 4000 years. The Khafre (Chephren) pyramid maintains its original stone top while the Menkaura (Mycerinus) pyramid completes this outstanding trio of pyramids. Visitors need to pay an extra charge to access the pyramids.
You will find the Sphinx nearby, which archaeologists constructed from a single limestone block, and which stands as one of the most photographed ancient sites worldwide. The Giza Pyramids will provide the most memorable experience during your time in Cairo.
The tour advances to Saqqara, which exists 27 kilometers southwest of Cairo. The Step Pyramid of Djoser serves as an architectural pyramid example, which scientists consider the first stone structure and architectural design of Egyptian pyramids.
The ancient capital of Egypt from the time of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt unification serves as the next destination from Saqqara to Memphis. Visitors can find the impressive alabaster Sphinx and the enormous Ramses II statue, which represent Egypt's extensive historical heritage. The group will eat lunch at one of Cairo's best local dining establishments before returning to their hotel.
