After breakfast at the hotel our representative will meet you in the lobby to begin your day of fascinating tours through Cairo. You will visit the Giza Pyramids as your first destination to witness their majestic appearance and study the historical development which extends throughout 3500 years.
I highly recommend visiting the Great Pyramid of Cheops, built by King Snefru and his son, King Cheops. The building impresses visitors with its massive dimensions while it displays the exceptional skills demonstrated by its construction team. The next destination leads you to the elevated area where you can observe the three pyramids which belong to King Chephren who was the son of King Snefru.
If you have the chance to do so you should ride a camel across the Giza Plateau to get a better view of the Great Sphinx of Giza which shows a lion body and a human head that historians believe was made for King Khafre. The funerary complex also includes the valley temple where King Khafre’s mummification process took place. Visitors can walk through the temple to observe the mummified body of the king.
Our next stop will take us to the historical city of Memphis where you will discover the open-air museum which displays both the beautiful sphinx and the enormous statue of King Ramses II. We will eat lunch at a neighborhood restaurant before we go back to the hotel.
I hope you enjoyed your tour of Cairo today.
