Upon arrival, your expert Egyptologist guide will be waiting for you to start your exploration of Egypt’s ancient wonders. Get ready to experience some of the most iconic sites in the world with in-depth commentary and fascinating insights into Egypt’s history.
Explore the Magnificent Pyramids of Giza
Your first stop in Cairo is the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza. These ancient tombs were constructed over 4,500 years ago, and the Great Pyramid of Khufu stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering, being the only surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your Egyptologist guide will provide you with detailed information about the construction, significance, and mysteries of these incredible structures.
Next, visit the Pyramid of Khafre, known for its perfectly preserved limestone casing and the nearby Great Sphinx. Learn about the fascinating myths surrounding this pyramid and its association with Pharaoh Khafre.
The third pyramid at Giza is the Pyramid of Menkaure, which may be smaller but is equally impressive in its architectural design. As your guide leads you through the pyramids, you’ll discover the intricate burial practices of Egypt’s royal families.
Don’t miss the Great Sphinx, an awe-inspiring statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, believed to represent Khafre. Your guide will share captivating stories about its creation, significance, and the mysteries that have surrounded this monumental statue for millennia.
Delicious Traditional Egyptian Lunch
After exploring the pyramids, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a local Cairo restaurant. Savor a variety of authentic dishes, such as koshari, falafel, moussaka, and stuffed grape leaves. This is a great opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing your historical exploration.
Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
In the afternoon, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), one of the largest and most important museums in the world. Located at the foot of the Giza Plateau, the museum offers an extraordinary collection of over 100,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, including stunning treasures from Egypt’s royal past.
One of the most famous exhibits is the Treasures of Tutankhamun, which includes the famous golden mask of King Tutankhamun, along with a wealth of royal jewelry and personal items. These treasures were discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter and provide an incredible insight into the life and reign of the boy king.
In addition to the treasures of Tutankhamun, the museum features the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the preserved remains of Egypt’s pharaohs and rulers, as well as the Pharaohs and Gods Gallery, which showcases intricate statues and carvings that bring ancient Egyptian gods and rulers to life.
As you walk through the expansive museum, your Egyptologist guide will share captivating stories about ancient Egyptian culture, religion, and daily life, giving you a deeper understanding of the civilization’s rich legacy.
