Start your day with a delicious breakfast at your 5-star hotel in Cairo, then join your tour guide to explore the most iconic attractions of your 12-Day Ultra Egypt Luxury Tour.
Begin with the Great Pyramid of King Khufu, the largest and most famous pyramid in Egypt. Built between 2609–2584 BC as a royal tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, it was designed by Hemon to be the tallest man-made structure in history at 481 feet (147 meters) for over 3,800 years. Its interior is highly advanced, featuring the King’s Chamber, the Grand Hall, and more, showcasing the incredible ingenuity of ancient Egyptian architecture.
Next, visit the magnificent Great Sphinx of Giza, a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC). The Sphinx protects the Giza Pyramids Complex and is one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Egypt, inspiring travelers from all over the world.
Explore the Valley Temple, a golden marvel that served as the main center for the mummification process during the 4th Dynasty. Here, the famous Opening of the Mouth Ceremony was performed on the pharaohs’ bodies, preparing them for the afterlife.
Enjoy a delightful meal at a magical local restaurant in Cairo.
After lunch, visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a magnificent modern building aligned with the Pyramids of Giza and spanning nearly 490,000 square meters. GEM houses an extraordinary collection of over 5,000 artifacts, including the Hanging Obelisk, the 11-meter Colossus of Ramses II, and the complete treasures of Tutankhamun.
