Designed for history enthusiasts and cultural explorers, this full-day guided tour from Cairo takes you on a journey through over 4,500 years of civilization, architecture, and mythology.
Your adventure begins with convenient hotel pickup in Cairo or Giza, where you'll meet your professional Egyptologist guide. Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the iconic Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Marvel at these ancient wonders—built during the Fourth Dynasty—and learn about the fascinating engineering techniques and spiritual beliefs that brought them to life.
Step closer to history at the Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a king. This timeless guardian of the pyramids has captivated travelers and archaeologists for centuries. Enjoy spectacular photo opportunities and listen to your guide as they unveil the myths and mysteries surrounding this monumental structure.
After your exploration of Giza, your tour continues to the nearby necropolis of Sakkara (Saqqara)—the heart of Egypt’s pyramid-building legacy. Here you’ll visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest stone pyramid in the world, dating back to the 27th century BC. This revolutionary structure marks the beginning of monumental architecture in ancient Egypt and paved the way for the smooth-sided pyramids of Giza.
Wander through the Sakkara complex and explore its richly decorated tombs, temples, and funerary structures. Learn about ancient burial practices, symbolism, and the early dynastic kings who shaped Egypt’s powerful legacy.
