Begin your day with a tasteful breakfast before embarking on your tour with your guide to experience the wonder of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization. Your tour begins at the Pyramids of Giza Complex, the greatest archaeological wonder ever constructed, dating over 4,500 years to the Old Kingdom in 2600 BC. At the center of the Pyramids of Giza Complex rises the Great Pyramid, an astral wonder constructed in 2570 BC as the final resting place for King Khufu. Created by his vizier, Hemiunu, it stood as the tallest structure for over 4,000 years, measuring 146.6m tall, and boasts the intriguing ‘King’s Chamber,’ ‘Queen’s Chamber,’ and ‘Grand Gallery.’
The tour proceeds to the Great Sphinx, also known as the "Horus of the Horizon." This legendary monument has been in existence since the reign of King Khafre, dating back to 2558-2532 BC. Between the paws of the Great Sphinx rests the legendary Dream Stele of Thutmose IV, an inspiration for numerous legendary stories and myths. Next, you will be taken to the Valley Temple, which is a holy and sacred place where Khafre once purified and performed the "Opening of the Mouth" ritual, commonly known as the mummification ritual. The temple is one of the best archaeological sites in Egypt.
The next stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), an impressive building that matches the greatness of the pyramid structures. Covering an area of 490,000 square meters, the GEM is a portal to 5,000 years of ancient history, featuring a world-class conservation center, as well as artifacts that are priceless to mankind, including the Hanging Obelisk, the Colossus of Ramses II, and the fabled 5,000-item collection of King Tutankhamun.
