Detailed itinerary of Cairo and Pyramids from Makadi Bay by Plane
Your amazing journey will begin when you are collected from your Makadi hotel and driven to Hurghada International Airport in an air-conditioned vehicle to catch your aircraft to Cairo. Upon arrival, you will meet your tour guide and begin your exploration of history’s earliest marvels, beginning with:
Giza Pyramids Complex
It is the site of ancient Egypt’s everlasting legacy, which may be studied via the magnificent three Giza Pyramids, Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Six smaller pyramids, the magnificent sphinx, and the Valley Temple, the abode of immortality, are all part of the Great Giza complex.
The Great Pyramid of Giza
It is the final surviving marvel of the ancient world’s seven wonders. The Khufu Pyramid was built in under 20 years, beginning in 2580 BC, utilizing 2,3 million pieces of limestone weighing 2.5 tonnes apiece and a trained crew of 100,000 laborers to reach a height of 147 meters (481 feet). The pyramid’s inner chamber, which boasts some outstanding construction, is where the pyramid’s brilliance rests.
The Great Sphinx of Giza
The Great Sphinx, also known as “Hor-em-Akhet” or “Horus of the Horizon,” stands 73 meters (240 feet) tall, 19 meters (66 feet) wide, and is shaped like a mythical ancient animal creature known as the sphinx, with the whole physical appearance of a lion and the facial expression of a man believed to be Pharaoh Khafre.
The Valley Temple
It is the hub of the mummification process, which began during Egypt’s Old Kingdom (2 and 686 2134 BC). It is well-preserved and has some incredible archaeological artifacts that provide invaluable information on the mummification process and ancient Egyptian funeral rites.
After that, you’ll have lunch at a restaurant overlooking the pyramids.
The Egyptian Museum
It’s like stepping into a timeless pocket dimension, with over 120,000 one-of-a-kind objects dating back over 4000 years, all housed inside the two floors of the museums and made from rich materials such as gold and precious metals, as well as wood and, more typically, stone. There are many amazing and interesting things in the museum, as well as a handful of mummies that will stimulate your attention.
Bazaar of Khan El Khalili
Khan El Khalili is the Middle East’s golden brick road, the region’s oldest and last operational market bazaar, dating back to 970 AD. The street has everything a traveler might want, as well as several wonderful cafés, wealthy marketplaces, and centuries-old boutiques. The street is lined by a variety of exceptional and magnificent Islamic architecture, and the street’s decorations are very captivating and in superb shape.
You’ll go to Cairo Airport to take your trip to Hurghada, then return to your Makadi Bay hotel.
