Cairo Tour Package (3 Days)

Breakfast at the hotel prior to your excursions today.

There are 118 Egyptian Pyramids, the largest at Giza. The pharaoh Khufu who built this Giza pyramid  was preceded by his father, the Pharoah Sneferu, who built 3 pyramids in his lifetime. It’s been suggested that Khufu as a young boy would have played in the shadows of the pyramids his father built. And the lessons he learned there were manifested in the impressive Gisa Pyramids he built. We will share these stories on your tour to enhance this incredible experience.

As The Sphinx Watches the Centuries Unfold

Sphinxes were often placed at the entrance of temples to guard their mysteries. Even the name was given 2000 years after the date of its construction (during Khafre’s rule) But Sellen Hassan, an Egyptologist wrote, “Taking all things into consideration, it seems that we must give the credit of erecting this, the world’s most wonderful statue, to Khafre, but always with this reservation that there is not one single contemporary inscription which connects the Sphinx with Khafre”. The mystery continues.

Saqqara (pm)- The Site of the First Stone Built Pyramid

Saqqara is where the first ever stone pyramid was built. It dates to the 27th Century BC (4,693 years old). The pyramid is known as the  Pyramid of Djoser (after the pharaoh of that name) or The Stepped Pyramid.

Today, Saqqara is the most important archaeological site in all of Egypt. It was designed by Imhotep, the architect of Djoser. The Step Pyramid stands at a height of 204 feet (62 meters) with six stepped layers.

You will also have the opportunity to explore inside the pyramid. Additionally we will enter recently discovered tombs.
