Itinerary:
An expert Egyptologist guide from Around Egypt Tours will meet you early in the morning at a pre-arranged time to begin your incredible tour of the Great Pyramids. Witness one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the majestic Pyramid of King Cheops—alongside the impressive pyramids of King Khafre (Chephren) and King Mycerinus.
The Giza Pyramids are famous for their immense size and remarkable preservation. On this tour, you'll explore the architectural marvels of the Fourth Dynasty during the Old Kingdom. Once in Giza, you'll also marvel at the Great Sphinx, a unique rock sculpture featuring the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion.
Your guide will take you to Khafre’s Valley Temple, an extraordinary structure constructed during the Pyramid era to assist with mummification. This temple was built by King Khafre, the successor of King Cheops and the younger brother of King Djedefre.
After exploring Giza, you'll pause to enjoy a delightful Egyptian lunch before continuing your adventure to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, Cairo's heart. This iconic museum houses a vast collection of over 160,000 artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun and an extensive array of ancient gold and jewelry, hidden beneath the sands for centuries until their discovery in 1922.
If time permits, you can extend your tour to Coptic Cairo, visiting historical landmarks like the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, the Roman fortress of Babylon, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. For a cultural shopping experience, explore Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of the oldest markets in the Middle East.
This comprehensive Giza Pyramids tour, lasting approximately 8 hours, is perfect for families with children or teenagers. We recommend wearing light-colored clothing, hats, and sunscreen to stay comfortable during your unforgettable journey with Around Egypt Tours.
