⭐ Tour Highlights at a Glance
Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, our representative will meet you and assist you with the transfer from the airport. Begin your Egyptian adventure by visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza: Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Explore the Valley Temple, where King Chephren was mummified, and marvel at the iconic Great Sphinx, the lion-bodied, human-headed guardian of the pyramids.
Lunch will be provided at a local restaurant
Afterward, continue to Sakkara, located 27 km southwest of Cairo, where you’ll visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser. This is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt, representing an important stage in the evolution of pyramids from simple mastabas to their iconic form.
Your next stop is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you’ll witness the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. Memphis dates back to around 3100 B.C. and is a vital part of Egypt’s ancient history.
After the tour, you’ll be transferred to your hotel.
