Explore the World-Famous Pyramids
Upon arrival in Cairo, your expert Egyptologist guide will take you on an awe-inspiring visit to the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid in Egypt and the only surviving wonder of the ancient world, stands at 146 meters (481 feet) and was built around 2560 BCE, with its construction remaining one of ancient architecture’s greatest mysteries. Nearby, the Pyramid of Khafre, slightly smaller but notable for retaining some of its original limestone casing, is home to the Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with the body of a lion and the face of Pharaoh Khafre, symbolizing ancient Egypt’s power.
The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, offers intricate burial chambers that provide fascinating insights into the royal burial practices.
As you explore these monumental structures, your guide will share captivating myths, construction secrets, and historical details, allowing you to appreciate the religious significance and engineering brilliance of these ancient wonders. You’ll have plenty of time to capture breathtaking photos of the pyramids set against the vast desert backdrop.
Delicious Egyptian Lunch
After a morning filled with exploration, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, offering a perfect opportunity to recharge and savor authentic Egyptian flavors.
The meal features a variety of beloved dishes, including Koshari, a hearty and satisfying combination of lentils, rice, pasta, and crispy onions topped with tomato sauce; Falafel, golden and crispy fried chickpea balls that are a staple in Egyptian cuisine; Moussaka, a flavorful eggplant casserole with layers of rich tomato sauce and spices; and Fattah, a celebratory dish made of rice, meat, and bread, often served during festivals.
These delicious and diverse dishes will not only refuel you but also give you a deeper taste of Egypt’s culinary heritage, setting you up for the exciting adventures ahead.
Explore the Egyptian Museum
In the afternoon, head to the Egyptian Museum, one of the world’s most significant cultural institutions, housing over 120,000 ancient artifacts that offer an unparalleled insight into the grandeur of ancient Egypt. This museum provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Egypt’s rich history and cultural legacy. Highlights of your visit include the Treasures of Tutankhamun, featuring the iconic golden mask and an array of priceless artifacts discovered in the tomb of King Tutankhamun by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. These treasures—ranging from exquisite gold jewelry to ceremonial items and even cursed objects—shed light on the life and mysterious death of the boy king.
You’ll also visit the Royal Mummy Room, where you’ll encounter the mummies of some of Egypt’s most renowned rulers, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Hatshepsut. These royal mummies offer a rare glimpse into the ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death, the afterlife, and the complex burial practices of the Pharaohs. In addition, the museum boasts an extensive collection of statues, carvings, and hieroglyphics, many of which depict Egypt’s gods, pharaohs, and mythological figures.
Your expert guide will help interpret the meanings behind these artifacts, providing a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian religion, art, and society.
