If you prefer, you can meet your guide in your hotel lobby at any time. Start your day with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization from your hotel in Cairo. Discover the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos, and the only one that remains largely intact.
Your guide will help you take pictures for your trip during the tour. The tour then continues towards the Great Sphinx which dates back to the reign of Chephren, presenting the head of the pharaoh on the body of a lion. This sphinx was built to protect the necropolis of Giza. Then you will visit the Valley Temple, which was once part of the pyramids of Chephren. The purification and mummification of the king took place in this temple before his burial. Then you will have lunch with your guide, who will offer you "local food".
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) is the last stop on your visit. It is one of the largest and most important museums of antiquities in the world, as well as the first museum dedicated to the entirety of Egyptian civilization, with more than 50,000 objects documenting the development of the civilization from the early to the modern era. Take a tour of the museum and see the permanent exhibits. Relax in the outdoor areas of the museum after discovering the treasures of ancient Egypt and enjoy the spectacular view of the Saladin Citadel and Lake Ain El-Sira, the last natural lake in Cairo.
Finally, be transferred back to your hotel in the evening.
