    What To Expect

    Itinerary
    This is a typical itinerary for this product:

    Stop At: Giza, Giza, Giza Governorate

    At 8:00am you will be picked up from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by your tour guide to begin your full-day tour visiting the Giza Pyramids, Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos. After seeing the renowned pyramids and taking plenty of photos, you'll visit the Valley Temple. There you can get a close-up view of the Sphinx, the mythical guardian that stands beside the huge funeral complex with its lion body and King Chephren's head.

    Stop At: Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, Al Giza Desert, Saqqara 12919 Egypt

    After having lunch at a local restaurant continue your day trip to Saqqara which is located only 16.7 miles (27 kilometers) southwest from Cairo. Visit the Step Pyramid constructed for King Djoser; it plays an essential role in pyramid evolution from simple mastabas to their widely known form. Then move on with your day excursion to Memphis - ancient capital of Egypt - where Ramses II’s colossal statue and great Alabaster Sphinx date back to 3100 B.C., before ending with drop off at your hotel.
