Itinerary

Morning Departure: Pyramids of Egypt Tour

In the early light, we will whisk you away from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to commence this extraordinary adventure...

The Majestic Pyramids of Giza

The Pyramids of Giza, the sole survivors of the Seven Wonders, stand as timeless sentinels. Behold the grandeur of the three great pyramids: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus, their colossal forms etched against the cerulean sky.

The Queen Pyramids

Nearby, discover the lesser pyramids, eternal resting places for the pharaohs' consorts. Explore the ancient villages of laborers, the temples, and the silent cemeteries that surround these hallowed grounds.

The Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx, guardian of secrets, carved from the limestone plateau, awaits. Once adorned with vibrant ochre and a regal beard, this majestic lion with a human visage exudes both mystery and magnificence.

Valley Temple of Khafre

Journey to the Valley Temple, a sacred site where the pharaoh’s mummy was purified and prepared for its eternal journey. Witness the echoes of the mummification rites that once took place within these ancient walls.

Saqqara Pyramid

Next, we traverse to Saqqara, a sprawling necropolis of ancient Memphis. Here stands the Step Pyramid of Zoser, a marvel of ancient architecture conceived by Imhotep around 2650 BC. This rectangular edifice, rising 60 meters high, set the blueprint for all future pyramids.

Lunch Break

After immersing in the grandeur of the Giza pyramids, we shall pause to nourish our bodies and spirits. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant, offering a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine (drinks excluded).

The Bent Pyramid

Dahshur, a secluded gem to the south, beckons. The Bent Pyramid, standing 90 meters tall, is a testament to the architectural prowess of Pharaoh Sneferu. Its unique angled form captures the imagination, embodying the transition of pyramid design.

The Red Pyramid

Concluding our journey, we visit the Red Pyramid. This grand structure, an evolution of its predecessors, was the first successful attempt at a true smooth-sided pyramid. At 105 meters high, its red granite entrance welcomes you to ponder the genius of ancient minds.

After this immersive journey through the sands of time, we will escort you back to your hotel, your heart brimming with the timeless wonders of Egypt.
