Day 2: Experience an Egyptian Fairytale at the Pyramids
You will enjoy breakfast in the morning before joining your tour guide to view the largest structure of ancient Egyptian civilization and the final remaining example of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Giza Pyramids Complex
includes the three main Pyramids, six smaller Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, the Only Guardian, and the Valley Temple. These structures, which date back more than 4,000 years, were all built with the intention of ascending to the heavens with the ancient Egyptian gods and preserving their culture and legacy until the end of time.
The Great Pyramid
It is one of the biggest and oldest buildings in the whole world, the first of its type, and was erected by King Khufu to usher in the Golden Age of Egyptian architecture. The Great Pyramid is over 4500 years old and was built in 2580 BC. It took 20 years and 2,300,000 pieces of limestone to construct. Its height of 147 meters (481 feet) made it the highest structure in existence for 3800 years until the Lincoln Cathedral in England was built in 1311. Due to the Pyramid’s sophisticated interior relative to its size, it is shrouded in mystery and far-fetched ideas.
The Great Sphinx
As there is still a lot of mystery surrounding the location, it is the oldest statue known to exist and has inspired innumerable adventurers, poets, and tourists. It is 73 meters (240 feet) tall, 19 meters (66 feet) wide, and is shaped after the fabled monster known as the Sphinx, which has a lion’s body and a man’s head, most likely King Khafre, as a representation of strength and wisdom.
The Valley Temple
Since the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the excellent Mummification process has taken place at the Valley Temple. It is one of the best-preserved constructions from the era of ancient Egypt. It is composed entirely of limestone and granite and has magnificent Chephren diorite figures.
Proceed to a neighborhood eatery in Cairo for lunch. Next, go to visit:
Step Pyramid of Saqqara
You will be able to see the first Pyramid, which marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Construction. It was constructed by the fabled Imhotep, vizier of Pharaoh Djoser. With six stairs and a height of 62 meters, it has a distinctive design. A complex encircles the Saqqara Step Pyramid, the first of its type, that includes stunning ornamentation and opulent ceremonial buildings.
Visit the first Egyptian capital to round up your tour of the Pyramids:
City of Memphis
King Menes constructed the city, which served as Egypt’s first recognized capital and the hub of the two nations. It is renowned for being the home of the deity Ptah, the patron of creation and the arts, and for being a place of beauty and endurance. The city of Memphis is home to several ancient Egyptian remains going back more than 4,000 years, including those of Ramses II and considerable temples to the gods Aton and Hathor.
Finally, we return you to your hotel via car.
