4 Days Family Tour itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Cairo and enjoy the Light and Sound Show: Upon arrival, the family will meet one of our representatives at the Cairo airport who will assist them with the baggage and entrance procedures before driving them in a private A/C car to their hotel in Cairo where they will check-in and get ready for their nighttime adventure.

Following dinner, everyone will return to their hotel for the night.
Day 2: Visit the Giza Pyramids Complex: After a hearty breakfast at their hotel, the whole family will go with their tour guide to explore:
Giza Pyramids Complex
The Giza Pyramids complex is a gift from the skies; it is filled with ancient artwork that contains the greatest tales, like:
The Great Pyramid
King Kufu’s eternal tomb is the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, a masterpiece of beauty and power that rises to a height of 147 meters (481 feet). It became well-known in 2600 BC for being the sole remaining example of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the origin of several Egyptian riddles.
The Great Sphinx
The magnificent Sphinx of Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC) symbolizes the might and wisdom of Khafre, who desired to have his likeness permanently engraved on the head of a mythological beast. The dream stele of Thutmose IV provides proof of the colossal statue’s mystical ties to the ancient Egyptian aristocracy.
The Valley Temple
The Valley Temple has long been a place of worship where the corpses of kings and queens were mummified and granted immortality.
After eating lunch with a view of the Pyramids and the Nile, the whole family will go to:
Step Pyramid of Saqqara
Imhotep, the vizier of Pharaoh Djoser, began to develop the enormous step pyramid of Saqqara as a masterpiece of architectural design. The pyramid has four sides that are aligned with the cardinal four points and six steps that are each 62 meters tall.
City of Memphis
The earliest known capital of Egypt was Memphis City, established in 3200 BC by King Narmer after the unification of Egypt. Some incredible monuments and relics were demonstrating the significance and impact of that fantastic place.
The family will return to their hotel and spend the night there.
