Next, visit the Great Sphinx, an iconic monument with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh (believed to be Pharaoh Khafre). Your guide will explain the numerous myths and legends surrounding the Sphinx, which is considered one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Egypt and a protector of the pyramids.
After exploring the pyramids and the Sphinx, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Sample dishes like koshari, molokhia, and falafel, giving you a true taste of Egyptian cuisine.
