What to expect
Day 1: Giza pyramids, Great Sphinx, Camel ride, Egyptian museum, Lunch
The Pyramids Of Giza
2h · Admission ticket included
The last remaining wonder of the ancient world; for nearly 4000 years, the extraordinary shape, impeccable geometry and sheer bulk of the Giza Pyramids have invited the obvious questions: ‘How were we built, and why?’. Centuries of research have given us parts of the answer. Built as massive tombs on the orders of the pharaohs, they were constructed by teams of workers tens-of-thousands strong. Today they stand as an awe-inspiring tribute to the might, organisation and achievements of ancient Egypt.
Great Sphinx
30m · Admission ticket included
Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this sculpture of a man with the haunches of a lion was dubbed the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks because it resembled their mythical winged monster who set riddles and killed anyone unable to answer them. A geological survey has shown that it was most likely carved from the bedrock at the bottom of the causeway during Khafre’s reign, so it probably portrays his features.
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo
2h · Admission ticket included
One of the world’s most important collections of ancient artifacts, the Egyptian Museum takes pride of place in Downtown Cairo, on the north side of Midan Tahrir. Inside the great domed, oddly pinkish building, the glittering treasures of Tutankhamen and other great pharaohs lie alongside the grave goods, mummies, jewelry, eating bowls and toys of Egyptians whose names are lost to history, to walk around the museum is to embark on an adventure through time.
Nile River
1h · Admission ticket included
After this interesting day tour, you will head to the great Nile, for a wonderful sunset felucca ride (sail boat), you will enjoy the sunset over the Nile, while you will watch the local life of the Egyptians, as they usually start hanging out at evening.

Coptic Cairo
