Your guide will share fascinating historical details about the pyramids, including the Pyramid of Khafre with its limestone casing and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure. You’ll also have the opportunity to take in the awe-inspiring sight of the Great Sphinx, the massive statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, which has guarded the pyramids for millennia.

Next, head to the Hanging Church (Saint Sergius and Bacchus), one of the oldest and most important Christian sites in Egypt. Located in Coptic Cairo, this unique church dates back to the 3rd century and is renowned for its fascinating architecture and rich history.
