Welcome to the land of legends, Egypt. On time, due to the cruise ship arrival schedule, you will find the Egypt Tours Booking Representative waiting for you in front of the Port Said Port gate, holding our company sign with your name. Start your tour experience at the Giza Pyramids. Once you arrive, start your tour at the Great Pyramid, one of the old seven wonders, which was built by order of King Cheops. It is 146 meters high, 1000 meters square, and made of more than 2.4 million stones with seven million tons. Enjoy walking around, then drive to the panoramic view, where you have the chance to look at all the pyramids in one line and take memorable pictures. While driving 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, lying 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. It 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.
