Tour Itinerary
Pick-up from your hotel at 07:30 AM to start your morning visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx. We'll leave the car behind and venture forth on a horse or a camel for a half an hour trek into the ancient history of Giza Plateau. Later we drive to Memphis the capital of the ancient kingdom and one of the most important cities throughout the history of ancient Egypt.
Break for lunch, and then we drive Sakkara, the vast Necropolis of ancient Memphis. Sakkara has the first Pyramid and the world's oldest stone structure.
Later we go further into the desert, to explore more of Egypt's wonders, in the fascinating Necropolis of Dahshur. There are two Pyramid groups in Dahshur. The two biggest Pyramids are the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. The Bent Pyramid gets its name from the fact that the angle of the slope changes 3/4 on the way up. The Red Pyramids name comes from the limestone from which it was built.
Before the tour ends, we'll drive on your way to the felucca harbor, to experience the beauty of the Nile, the tranquility of sailing, and the myriad of colors in the sky changing as the sun sets.
