Begin your Giza Pyramids Day Tour at 8:00 am with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. The first leg of your journey takes you to the Giza Pyramids, where the wonders of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos await. Visit the Valley Temple, where ancient rituals brought the dead back to life, and come face-to-face with the Sphinx, the monumental guardian of these sacred sites. This immersive exploration lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours. Afterwards, enjoy a delectable lunch at a local restaurant, offering a full meal to sate your appetite (note: beverages not included), lasting about 1 hour. Post-lunch, your adventure continues to Sakkara, home to the revolutionary Step Pyramid of King Zoser, a key landmark in the evolution of pyramid construction, located just 16 1/2 miles (27 km) southwest of Cairo. Spend around 2 hours exploring this historical site. Next, delve into the ancient capital of Memphis, where the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Great Alabaster Sphinx hark back to 3100 B.C., offering a glimpse into the city’s storied past during your 1-hour visit. Conclude your day of discovery with a return trip to your hotel, enriched with the history and majesty of Egypt’s ancient wonders.
