- Pyramids of Giza - Depending on your selected start time, the tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Giza or Cairo, holding a sign with your name, to begin your tour of:
Pyramids of Giza & Sphinx: This is the most significant attraction in Cairo tours and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. You will see the Great Pyramid, which dates back to the Old Kingdom (2580-2560 B.C.).
The Great Pyramid of King Cheops, also known as Khufu, is the oldest and largest pyramid on the Giza Plateau. It is the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. These pyramids were built during the Old Kingdom’s 4th dynasty and stand about 147 meters high.
Next, you will see the Pyramid of Khafre, also known as King Chephren, who was the son of Khufu and the owner of the second pyramid. He ruled Egypt for 26 years. The Chephren Pyramid is the second tallest and second largest of the ancient Egyptian pyramids, constructed in 2570 B.C. His burial chamber was discovered in 1818 A.D. by Italian archaeologist Giovanni Battista.
Then, visit the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three pyramids, constructed in 2510 B.C. during the 4th dynasty of the Old Kingdom. It was built using limestone and red granite. The exact date of construction is unknown because Menkaure’s reign has not been precisely defined, but it was likely completed in the 26th century B.C.
The last important stop is the Great Sphinx, built by the owner of the second pyramid, Chephren, to serve as a guardian (Great Sphinx of Giza). It is a limestone statue of a mythical creature with the body of a lion and a human head. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent Pharaoh Khafra.
Shopping tour: During your guided pyramids tour, you can also visit the Papyrus Museum, where a local guide will explain the significance of papyrus in ancient Egyptian culture. You will see beautiful paintings related to Egyptian history, such as the Final Judgment, the oldest calendar, and the Tree of Life. Afterward, visit the Bedouin Family’s Perfume Palace, where you will discover many aromatic substances essential for the afterlife. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the lotus flower essence was believed to aid in resurrection, and the ancient cosmetic papyrus mentions many types of essences like jasmine, rose, cardamom, and almond. They also have medicinal essences. Then, you have two options: first, visit Flower Cotton, where you will find high-quality Egyptian cotton and handmade products and gifts. The second option is The Bazaar, where you can see small statues made of alabaster, small sphinxes, and silver and gold items, and have your name inscribed in Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Pyramids of Dahshour - Dahshur is a royal necropolis from the Old Kingdom, located about 40 km south of Cairo. It features two famous pyramids, among the oldest, finest, and best-preserved in Egypt. The first is the Red Pyramid, where you can enter the burial chamber where the pharaoh was laid to rest, without any extra charge. Then, visit the Bent Pyramid, also known as the Curved Pyramid, which has a unique design with two angles, one at the base and another midway up. This pyramid is renowned for having the most well-preserved outer casing of any pyramid in Egypt. However, entry is not permitted for safety reasons.
-
Memphis and Sakkara - Sakkara is a vast ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis. Here, you can see the first step pyramid, constructed in 2670 B.C. during the Old Kingdom’s 3rd dynasty. It was built by the architect Imhotep, who was also the physician to King Zoser. This is the oldest complete stone building complex known in history. You will also see some tombs, such as the Tomb of Idut, daughter of King Teti, the first king of the 6th dynasty, with walls adorned with beautiful inscriptions depicting scenes of everyday life, including fishing, farming, hunting, and tax payment.
Memphis: It is the oldest capital in Egypt, founded by Pharaoh Menes.
