your experience

After your hotel pick-up at 8:00 AM, your first stop is at the Giza pyramid complex. This is where you can see the Pyramids of Cheops, the oldest and only survivor of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Located next to it are the smaller Pyramids of Chephren, and Mykerinos, as well as the Great Sphinx on the east. All of these were built during the golden age of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.

The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, which was used for the purification of the king's mummy, as well as the mummification process before his burial. Continue onwards to the Step Pyramids of Zoser, the world’s oldest major stone

structure. It was built 4,700 years ago for King Djoser. The Step Pyramid of Saqqara is considered an evolution in the concept of pyramids, from the simple mastaba to their final form now. The pyramid is 60 meters tall and consists of 6 steps on top of each other, with each one being smaller than the one below.

Your last stop for the day is at Memphis, which was founded by King Menes. It was the capital of Old Egypt during the Old Kingdom and was a center of culture for over 3,000 years. It was known as Men-nefer ("the enduring and beautiful"), which was translated as 'Memphis,' by the Greeks.
