You will enjoy the most interesting breakfast meal at your 5-star hotel before you join your tour guide to visit a collection of the greatest attractions inherited from the ancient world, and among that incredible sightseeing, you will start your tour of the course with:

Giza Pyramids Complex

This is one of the most unparalleled tourist sites in Egypt, as it holds some of the greatest treasures of ancient Egypt. There, you will get an exclusive opportunity to visit the three majestic Pyramids in Giza that belong to the three great Pharaohs Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure who were kings in the fourth Dynasty along with some other smaller marvelous Pyramids for different queens and rulers but nothing is comparable to the impressive Pyramid of Cheops "Khufu" that has been considered the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu

The Great Pyramid of Giza is a gigantic marvel made of magic that reaches the everlasting gates of the heavens, which were modeled to be the final resting place of Pharaoh Khufu (2609 BC - 2584 BC), who was completed in 2570 BC. This immortal wonder weighs 6 million tons and has had an overall height of 138.5 meters (454.4 ft) for more than 4500 years, which has spread many mysteries across history.

The Impressive Sphinx

You definitely need to visit this iconic sculpture that lies northwest of the amazing Valley Temple of the Pyramid Complex of King Chephren and what really amazes anyone who visits the mythical Great Sphinx of Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC) is its construction as it takes the facial features of a king while being on the body of the sculpture which is actually of a lion to reveal the wisdom and power of the Pharaoh and to show that the real purpose from its construction was to guard the complex.

The Outstanding Valley Temple

The Valley Temple is located to the east of the Pyramid of Khafre and it has been always considered a legendary site where many kings & pharaohs decided to build their burial temples. There are two main reasons for the construction of that site, the first reason is that it was mainly used for the purification processes of the body of the king and the second reason is to make the mummification process a.k.a the opening of the mouth for the body of the king.

The Grand Egyptian Museum

The Grand Egyptian Museum is your gateway to witness the undying and golden glory of this immortal civilization in the most magical manner, and within this epic wonder are about 100,000 artifacts that showcase the rich culture and history of this miraculous civilization, which was developed over 7000 years from great figures who wrote their names in gold across the history books.
