Start Time: 8:00 AM | Pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza
Begin your day with a visit to one of the most iconic landmarks in the world—the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. These ancient marvels have captivated travelers for centuries, dating back to Roman times. Each of these majestic structures served as the burial site for a ruler of Egypt’s 4th Dynasty (circa 2613–2494 BC).
The largest and most renowned, the Great Pyramid, was constructed for Pharaoh Khufu (c. 2589–2566 BC). The two neighboring pyramids were built for his son Khafre and grandson Menkaure. Remarkably, Khufu’s pyramid remained the tallest human-made structure for nearly 3,800 years!
Following your exploration of the pyramids, the tour continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum—home to a remarkable collection of ancient artifacts and treasures.
Start your museum journey with the Hanging Obelisk, an extraordinary exhibit suspended from the ceiling. This unique display allows for an up-close look at the intricate carvings and hieroglyphics from an entirely new perspective.
Next, admire the colossal Statue of Ramses II, one of the most striking and imposing artifacts in the museum. Standing tall with finely detailed engravings, this piece offers insight into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian artistry.
Proceed to view the Ten Statues of Senusret, appreciated from a scenic distance to fully absorb the artistic skill involved in their creation.
Continue on to the Grand Staircase, a monumental architectural feature leading to the upper galleries. Even from afar, the staircase is a breathtaking sight.
The journey continues through exhibits highlighting the Ptolemaic King and Queen, shedding light on the culture and society of the Ptolemaic era in Egypt’s rich past.
You’ll also encounter the Victory Columns, grand stone structures adorned with elaborate carvings celebrating ancient military achievements.
Wrap up the museum visit with the Royal Regalia section, where exquisite royal jewelry, crowns, and ceremonial items of pharaohs are on display. These artifacts reflect the wealth and refined craftsmanship of Egypt’s ancient royalty.
After the tour concludes, you’ll be comfortably driven back to your hotel in Cairo.
