Visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx in Giza- Egypt tour Magic

The Pyramids of Giza – Egypt’s Most Iconic Landmarks

Your adventure begins with a hotel pick-up from your accommodation in Sahl Hasheesh, a luxury resort town along the Red Sea, known for its tranquil beaches and stunning views. From there, you’ll be transferred to Hurghada Airport, where you’ll board a quick flight to Cairo with trusted airlines like EgyptAir or Nile Air. Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you’ll be met by your expert Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day and provide fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient history and culture.

 

Your first destination will be the renowned Giza Plateau, home to the 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, will take your breath away with its monumental size and architectural mastery. Explore the Pyramid of Khafre, famous for its limestone casing that still remains at the top, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the trio but no less impressive. Don’t miss the Great Sphinx, the iconic statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, symbolizing wisdom, power, and strength. Capture stunning photos of these timeless monuments against the vast desert landscape at the panoramic viewpoint.

 

Around midday, you’ll enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor a variety of authentic Egyptian dishes, including grilled kofta, kebabs, koshari (a blend of rice, pasta, lentils, and chickpeas), falafel, and stuffed grape leaves, complemented by freshly baked pita bread and a variety of dips like tahini and baba ganoush. This will give you a true taste of Egypt’s culinary heritage, making you feel even more connected to the culture you’re exploring.

The Pyramid of Saqqara Step Pyramid of Djoser

Explore Memphis – Egypt’s First Capital

After lunch, head to Saqqara, an important archaeological site and burial ground from Egypt’s Old Kingdom. The site’s centerpiece is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first large-scale stone structure, designed by the brilliant architect Imhotep. As you explore the area, you’ll discover fascinating tombs, mastabas, and ancient structures that show the evolution of pyramid-building techniques. Learn how the Step Pyramid marked the beginning of monumental stone architecture in Egypt.

 

Next, you’ll visit Memphis, the first capital of a unified Egypt. This ancient city was once a thriving cultural and administrative hub for over 3,000 years. At the open-air museum, you’ll find the colossal Statue of Ramses II, an impressive figure that once adorned the city’s central temple. Also, admire the Alabaster Sphinx, an exquisitely preserved monument that symbolizes Egypt’s strength and protection. Memphis offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur of the Old Kingdom, where early Egyptian civilization flourished along the Nile River.

 

After a day filled with historical exploration, your guide will transfer you back to Cairo International Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Upon landing in Hurghada, a private transfer will take you back to your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh, where you can relax and reflect on the incredible history and culture you’ve experienced throughout the day.
