Your 2-day Cairo tour begins with a convenient transfer from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh to the airport for your flight to Cairo. Upon your arrival in Cairo, you’ll be greeted by your friendly guide, who will accompany you throughout the day’s exciting explorations.

The first stop on your journey is the Pyramids of Giza, where you’ll witness one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Explore the ancient Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the largest and most majestic of the three pyramids. Standing at an impressive height of 481 feet, it’s a marvel of ancient Egyptian engineering. Continue your visit to the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, each with their own unique features and historical significance. Don’t forget to take in the stunning view of the Great Sphinx of Giza, the majestic lion-bodied statue with the face of Pharaoh Khafre.

This monument, carved from limestone, has stood the test of time and is one of Egypt’s most well-known symbols. You’ll have ample time to take photos and learn about the fascinating history of these ancient structures, from their construction methods to their role in Egyptian culture.

After visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx, you’ll head to a nearby restaurant for a traditional Egyptian lunch. Enjoy dishes such as koshari, falafel, and grilled meats, giving you a true taste of local flavors.

Next, you’ll journey to Saqqara, a vast archaeological site that was the burial ground of the ancient capital, Memphis. Here, you’ll see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which dates back to the 27th century BC and is considered the first pyramid ever built. The Step Pyramid is a key architectural precursor to the later, more famous pyramids, and it marks a major innovation in ancient Egyptian design. Explore the surrounding tombs and burial chambers, where you’ll gain insights into the early history of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

After Saqqara, you’ll visit Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt. In this historical city, you’ll see the colossal statue of Ramses II, which stands as a testament to the grandeur and power of Egypt’s pharaohs. Memphis also features an open-air museum where you can admire additional artifacts and monuments from Egypt’s ancient past.

After a full day of exploration, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Cairo or Giza, where you can unwind and relax after your first day of fascinating sightseeing. Enjoy a peaceful evening with options for dining, shopping, or simply resting in preparation for the next day’s adventures.
