Itinerary

Day 1:Pyramids & the Grand Egyptian Museum

Your guide meets you at Cairo International Airport with a name sign, helps you through the arrival formalities and starts your tour straight away. At the Giza Pyramids your guide explains how and why they were built, and you stop at the panorama point for photos of all three before visiting the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre. Lunch with local dishes is available, and you can add a camel ride or a visit inside a pyramid for an extra fee. In the afternoon you tour the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Pyramids, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection, much of it on display for the first time, in galleries that take you through Egyptian history in order. In the evening you can add the Pyramids Sound and Light Show ($50 per person). Overnight in Cairo. Meals: none.

Day 2:Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshour

After breakfast your guide drives you south to Saqqara for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, considered the world’s first pyramid. You continue to Memphis, the ancient capital, where the colossal limestone statue of Ramesses II lies, and finish at Dahshur, where King Sneferu built the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, the steps that led to the Great Pyramid built by his son Khufu. Afterwards our representative takes you to the airport and helps you with the departure formalities. Meals: breakfast.
