Day Tour Itinerary

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your accommodation, your exciting day tour begins as you meet your private Egyptologist guide. You will board your comfortable private A/C vehicle and start exploring the following iconic sites:

Giza Pyramids

The legendary Great Pyramids of Giza, the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, stand proudly on the Giza Plateau. Here, you will admire the three main pyramids: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, along with the smaller pyramids dedicated to the queens. These monumental structures continue to amaze visitors with their history and engineering brilliance.

The Great Sphinx of Giza

Carved directly from the bedrock, the Great Sphinx is the largest Egyptian sculpture ever created. With the body of a lion and the head of a human wearing the royal headdress, it stands as a timeless symbol of ancient Egyptian power. Although its chin and original reddish color have faded over the centuries, its majesty remains undeniable.


Lunch

We will stop for lunch at a local restaurant, where you can recharge with traditional Egyptian dishes such as grilled meats, rice, and fresh salads. (Drinks are not included.)

Saqqara

The tour continues to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological sites. This vast necropolis is home to the world’s oldest pyramid: the Step Pyramid of Djoser, an architectural masterpiece that marks the beginning of pyramid construction. Saqqara also features numerous tombs and monuments that reflect early Pharaonic history.

After completing these enriching visits, we will transfer you back to your accommodation so you can relax and enjoy a peaceful evening.
