The Pyramids of Giza – Egypt’s Most Iconic Landmarks
Your day begins with a private hotel pick-up from your accommodation in Makadi Bay, a tranquil resort area along the Red Sea, known for its stunning beaches and luxurious ambiance. Afterward, you’ll be transferred to Hurghada International Airport, where you’ll board your short and comfortable flight to Cairo.
During the flight, you can relax, enjoy the scenic views, and look forward to an exciting day of exploration.
Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide, a specialist who will provide you with fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient history, culture, and the significance of each landmark you visit. Your first stop is the world-renowned Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, stands at over 140 meters tall and will leave you in awe with its extraordinary size, precision, and mystery.
You’ll also visit the Pyramid of Khafre, recognized for its remaining limestone casing at the top, which gives it a unique, majestic appearance, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, which may be smaller but is equally impressive in its design and craftsmanship.
The Great Sphinx, an enigmatic statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, stands sentinel over the pyramids, symbolizing ancient Egypt’s strength, wisdom, and protection.
After a full exploration of the Giza Pyramids, you’ll head to a carefully chosen local restaurant for a traditional Egyptian lunch. The meal offers a true taste of Egypt’s rich culinary heritage, with dishes such as koshari, grilled kebabs, falafel, kofta, and stuffed grape leaves, along with fresh pita bread, salads, and tahini dips.
Explore Memphis – Egypt’s First Capital
With your energy refreshed, you’ll proceed to Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first monumental stone structure in Egypt and the world’s earliest large-scale stone pyramid.
Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep, this landmark marks the beginning of pyramid construction and revolutionized ancient Egyptian architecture. As you wander through the vast necropolis, you’ll discover intricate tombs, mastabas, and decorated walls that reveal the early history of Egyptian civilization.
Next, you’ll visit Memphis, the first capital of a unified Egypt, serving as a political and cultural hub for over 3,000 years.
As an open-air museum, Memphis offers a glimpse into ancient Egypt’s grandeur, with remarkable ruins and monuments. Highlights include the Colossus of Ramses II, a towering statue of one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs, and the beautiful Alabaster Sphinx, a striking symbol of protection and power.
At the end of this full day of exploration, you’ll be transferred back to Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada, where you will be transferred back to your hotel in Makadi Bay.
