What your day looks like

One relaxed day, from hotel pickup to drop-off.

We'll pick you up at Sokhna Port in a private, air-conditioned car. To start your amazing tour, we'll take you to the following places:

The Giza Pyramids:
The pyramids of Giza are one of the most well-known buildings in the world because they are the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still stands. There are three main pyramids at Giza. They are the Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephren, and the Pyramid of Mykerinus.

The queen Pyramids:
some other smaller secondary pyramids, where the women of the pharaohs were buried, as well as workers' villages, temples, and cemeteries.

The Giza Sphinx:
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a huge Egyptian statue. It was carved out of the limestone rock of the Giza Plateau and showed a sleeping lion with a human head and the so-called Nemes headscarf. At first, the sphinx was painted with a reddish ochre and had a beard on its chin. However, in ancient times, this beard fell off.

Valley Temple:

afterward, they moved to witness the Valley temple used to purify the king's mummy before its burial and to make the Mummification process of the king.

Saqqara pyramid:

We will move to Saqqara, which is a group of pyramids that, like Giza, is part of the Memphis Necropolis. We will see one of the first pyramids, which was used as a model for all the pyramids that came after it.

Imhotep, the most famous Egyptian architect, built the Step Pyramid of Zoser for Pharaoh Zoser around 2650 BC. It has a rectangular base and is about 60 meters high. It was part of a ceremonial complex that was built for Zoser.

Lunch

At the end of the visit to the Giza pyramids, we will take a break and take the opportunity to eat and recharge. Lunch will be at a restaurant and Egyptian food (drinks not included).

The Bent Pyramid:

South of Giza, in a place called Dahshur, there is a place called the Bent Pyramid. Even though the two pyramids in Dahshur are impressive, not many people go there. The 90-m-tall, curved pyramid is the fourth largest in Egypt. Sandefur, who was the father of Cheops, built it (the Great Pyramid builder).

The Pyramid in Red:

The Red Pyramid was built in a complicated way that shows the change from stepped pyramids, like the one Djoser built in Saqqara, to pyramids with straight lines.

The red pyramid was 105 meters tall, and red granite was used to make the entrance. We'll take you back to Sokhna Port when the tour is over.
