Giza pyramids

pickup from the Cairo International Airport. Then, we start the Full-Day Tour of the Giza Pyramids, including the Cheops, Chephren, and Mycarinos’ Pyramids, and a camel ride by the Panorama. Then, visit the Valley Temple, where the priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, who was buried in the second pyramid at Giza Plateau.

The Great Sphinx

Continue to get closer to the Sphinx, the mythical guardian statue standing by the huge funeral complex, featuring its lion body and the head of King Chephren.

Then, the queen’s pyramid is entered. This special admission allows one not only to see for oneself the ingenuity of the long-ago builders but also to disclose well-kept secrets of construction and design that kept historians’ speculation for centuries. Besides, this includes a camel ride.

Saqqara Step Pyramid

Continuing on your day tour, go to Saqqara, located only 16.7 miles (27 kilometers) southwest of the Giza Pyramids. First, the Step Pyramid built for King Djoser is considered an important part of the pyramid evolution process, which moved from a simple mastaba to its generally well-known form.

Imhotep Museum: Next, proceed to the Imhotep Museum and see for yourself the great architect who initiated building pyramids in ancient Egypt.

Memphis

After that, proceed to a day tour to Memphis and be surprised by the enormous statue of Ramses II and by the Great Alabaster Sphinx, dating back to 3100 B.C. Finally, your tour ends with a drop-off at Cairo International Airport.
