Start your tour at the Giza Pyramids. Visit the Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, which was built by order of King Cheops. It is 146 meters high and 1,000 square meters in area, and it contains more than 2.4 million stones weighing seven million tons. Enjoy walking around, then drive to the panorama point to see all the pyramids in one line and take memorable pictures. On the way to the Great Sphinx, you can stop in front of the pyramid of Chefren, which is 139 meters high, and the pyramid of Menkaure, which is 66 meters high. After this, you will have a moment of majesty standing in front of the Great Sphinx, which has the body of a lion and the head of a man and lies behind the Valley Temple of the second pyramid.

Then drive to Memphis. Memphis is the Latin name of the first federal capital of Egypt, originally Mn-Nefer, which means “the beautiful town.” It was also known as Pr-hedj, which means “the White House,” and was founded by order of Menes, the first king of the first dynasty, in 3400 BC. Now you get a chance to look at some remains of old temples, especially from the period of Ramses II. These include the great statue of Ramses II, the alabaster sphinx, and the statue of the holy trinity of Memphis: Ptah, nfr-tm, and Sekhmet.

After that, have your lunch at a good-quality local restaurant

Then drive to Sakkara necropolis, which is 20 kilometers south of Giza. Sakkara is the oldest necropolis belonging to Memphis, the first federal capital of Egypt. It has the Step Pyramid, the first pyramid built in the world and the first complex built of stone on earth, built by order of King Zoser, the founder of the 3rd dynasty. Sakkara then became one of the largest cemeteries in Egypt until the Greco-Roman period.

After finishing, return to the airport.
