Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before being picked up at 8:00 am for your  tour including.

Giza Pyramids.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the Great Pyramids Of Giza – Cheops, Chephren & Mykerinos and explore the Valley Temple, which is the place where the Priests mummified the dead body of king Chephren, the owner of the second pyramid at Giza Plateau.

Additionally, you will be able to have a close-up look at the Sphinx, the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren. Following the Giza visit, the tour continues to Sakkara, which is located only 27 km southwest of Cairo.

Second visit will be to Saqqara step pyramid.

The Pyramid of Djoser, known as the Step Pyramid, is an archaeological landmark in the Saqqara Necropolis, northwest of the ancient city of Memphis in Egypt. It was built during the 27th century BC to bury the pharaoh Djoser; it was built for him by his vizier Imhotep. The architect and physician Imhotep was the primary architect of the vast funerary complex in the pyramid’s courtyard and the surrounding ceremonial structures.

Dahshur Pyramids.

Dahshur is one of the tourist areas that visitors come to from all over the world because of its many ancient Egyptian monuments. The Pharaoh of Egypt, Sneferu, chose the Dahshur rocky plateau to build his tomb, to rival the tomb of his father, Djoser, the owner of the Saqqara Step Pyramid.

These are the most beautiful and historical sightseeing in Cairo.
