Your adventure begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in Port Ghalib at 3:00 AM. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on the scenic drive across the desert to Cairo, approximately 700 kilometers away. As you travel through the vast desert landscape, prepare yourself for a fascinating exploration of Egypt’s most iconic monuments.

First, visit the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Explore the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids, as well as the Pyramid of Chephren and the Pyramid of Mykerinus. Your private Egyptologist guide will share captivating stories about the construction, religious significance, and the mysteries surrounding these ancient tombs.

Next, make your way to the Great Sphinx of Giza, one of Egypt’s most famous symbols. The massive statue, with the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Chephren, has stood as the guardian of the pyramids for thousands of years. Learn about the symbolism and origins of the Sphinx and the myths surrounding its creation.

Afterward, head to the Valley Temple of Chephren, where ancient Egyptians performed mummification rituals. This well-preserved site offers valuable insights into the funerary practices and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.

Take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Giza with panoramic views of the pyramids. Savor traditional Egyptian dishes like koshari, stuffed grape leaves, and molokhia while soaking in the breathtaking surroundings.

In the afternoon, head to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to over 250,000 artifacts from ancient Egypt. Explore the world-renowned Tutankhamun collection, including his famous golden death mask and royal treasures that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being uncovered in the 1920s. The museum’s galleries also feature statues, mummies, and ancient manuscripts that shed light on the life of Pharaohs and the gods of ancient Egypt.

For an additional fee, you can visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and view the Royal Mummies Hall, which contains the mummies of famous Pharaohs such as Ramses II and Seti I. This optional visit provides an even deeper understanding of Egypt’s mummification techniques and royal history.

After a day full of exploration, your driver will take you to your hotel in Cairo, where you can relax and enjoy a restful evening in preparation for the second day of your tour.
