Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza. Your first stop is the historic site of Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, considered the earliest colossal stone structure in Egypt, built around 2630 BC during the reign of King Djoser.
Next, head to the ancient city of Memphis, Egypt’s first capital after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BC. Here, you’ll see the colossal statue of Ramesses II, one of the city’s most prominent landmarks.
If selected, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to the Giza Plateau to visit the great pyramids of Khufu (Cheops), Khafre, and Menkaure. Experience the awe-inspiring sight of these monumental structures.
Continue to the Great Sphinx, a mythical statue with a lion's body and a pharaoh’s head, and explore the Valley Temple, historically used for mummification and royal funerary rituals.
At the end of the tour, enjoy some free time for shopping and browsing local handicrafts, with the chance to negotiate prices directly with the vendors. Finally, return to your accommodation in Cairo or Giza.
