You will be transferred from your hotel in Port Ghalib by a private air-conditioned vehicle to Marsa Alam Airport to catch your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival at Cairo Airport, you will meet your private tour guide and immediately begin your exciting journey exploring the highlights of Cairo.

Your first visit will be to the magnificent Giza Pyramids Complex, one of the greatest achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization, dating back to around 2600 BC. The complex includes the three great pyramids, the Sphinx, and several surrounding monuments that reflect the brilliance of ancient engineering.

Next, you will explore the legendary Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Built around 2580 BC using approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks over 20 years by a workforce of around 100,000 workers, it reaches a height of 147 meters and remains one of the most iconic structures in history.

Then, you will stand before the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza, carved from a single limestone block during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre. It measures about 73 meters in length and 19 meters in width and represents a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, symbolizing strength and wisdom.

After that, you will visit the historic Valley Temple of Khafre, where ancient Egyptians performed the mummification process during the Old Kingdom period, making it an essential part of the burial rituals of the pharaohs.

You will then proceed to the impressive Grand Egyptian Museum, a modern cultural landmark aligned with the pyramids and spanning nearly 490,000 square meters. The museum showcases thousands of artifacts, including treasures of Tutankhamun, the Hanging Obelisk, and the colossal statue of Ramses II, offering a rich journey through Egypt’s ancient history.

After sightseeing, you will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant near the pyramids area, offering a relaxing break with beautiful views.

Following lunch, you will continue to Saqqara Step Pyramid, the first pyramid ever built in ancient Egypt. Constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Djoser around 2670 BC, it features a unique six-step design reaching a height of 62 meters and marks a major milestone in architectural history.
