Highlights

Pyramids of Giza - Your Egyptologist tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive for about 30 minutes to the Pyramids of Giza. Here, you’ll create beautiful memories and witness the grandeur of ancient Egyptian construction, science, and astronomy. You’ll be left with countless questions as you visit the three pyramids in the Giza area. Your tour guide will share ancient Egyptian stories, and you’ll enjoy a panoramic view to take amazing photos with the three pyramids. You can also enjoy a 30-minute Egyptian camel ride. If you’re interested in a desert safari by ATV, your tour guide will assist you. You’ll then see the Great Sphinx, a symbol of the power of Egypt’s ancient kings.
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu and stand before 2.3 million stone blocks, with the smallest weighing 2.5 tons and the largest 18 tons. Imagine that! The total weight of the stones is 6 million tons. The Khufu Pyramid is the largest pyramid and the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Khafre’s Pyramid - The second-largest pyramid, though it appears to be the largest because it is built on a rocky base that is 10 meters higher than the largest pyramid. It is one of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau and is associated with Pharaoh Khafre, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
Menkaure Pyramid - The Pyramid of Menkaure is one of the pyramids on the Giza Plateau. It is also called the Sacred Pyramid, a name chosen to distinguish it from the pyramids of his father and grandfather in the Giza area. Menkaure chose to build the lower part of the pyramid with granite brought specially from Aswan via the River Nile. A wooden coffin with his name was found and is now preserved in the British Museum.
Great Sphinx - The Sphinx is a massive limestone statue symbolizing strength in ancient Egypt. It combines the mental strength of humans, represented by the head, and the physical strength of a lion, the king of the jungle. According to ancient Egyptian stories, the Sphinx was seen as a guardian and a granter of wishes. Create your memories with this famous symbol of Egypt’s great kings.
NB: After that, drive approximately 30 minutes to Sakkara and then 30 minutes for lunch.
Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Exploring the Step Pyramid of Djoser in the Sakkara area offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian history and the evolution of pyramid construction. The museum of Imhotep and the nearby tombs of high officials, along with the pyramids of kings Titi and Unas, enrich the experience, providing a comprehensive view of the Old Kingdom’s cultural and architectural achievements. Enjoy your visit!
NB: After that, drive approximately 15 minutes to Memphis.
Memphis and Sakkara - Memphis, founded by King Menes, served as the capital of Old Egypt for over 3000 years. It reached its peak under the 6th dynasty, focusing on the worship of Ptah, the god of creation. The alabaster sphinx at the Temple of Ptah stands as a memorial to the city’s former power. The Memphis triad, comprising Ptah, Sekhmet, and Nefertem, was central to the city’s worship. After a decline during the 18th dynasty, Memphis saw a revival under the Persians but eventually yielded to Thebes and later Alexandria. Notable monuments include the Statue of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx.
NB: After that, drive approximately 60 minutes to return to your hotel.
