Giza Pyramids
The Pyramids of Giza are one of the most well-known buildings in the world because they are the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still stands. The three major pyramids of Giza include the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Mycrinus.
Great Sphinx of Giza
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a giant Egyptian statue. It was carved from the limestone of the Giza plateau and represented a recumbent lion with a human head and the so-called veil of a nemes. Originally, the Sphinx was painted red ochre and had a chin beard, but this fell into antiquity.
Valley Temple of Khafre
Next, go to see the valley temple that was used to cleanse the king's mummy before burial and to perform the king's embalming process.
Saqqara pyramid
We will move to Saqqara, a pyramidal complex that, like Giza, is part of the necropolis of Memphis. There we will see one of the first pyramids that were built, which served as a model for all those that were built later. The step pyramid of Djoser has a rectangular base and is about 60 meters high; and was part of a ceremonial complex built around 2650 BC for the pharaoh Djoser by Imhotep, the most famous Egyptian architect.
Lunch
We'll take a break and take the opportunity to eat and recharge. Lunch will be in a restaurant and Egyptian food (drinks not included).
The Bent Pyramid
Dahshur is a relatively isolated place south of Giza. Few tourists visit Dahshur, even though its two pyramids are rather impressive. The curved pyramid is 90 meters high and is the fourth largest pyramid in Egypt. It was built by Sneferu, the father of Khufu (builder of the Great Pyramid).
The Red Pyramid
The Red Pyramid, the construction of which represents a detailed development indicating the transition from a stepped pyramid, such as the pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, to the pyramid with ecclesiastical lines. Red pyramid, height 105 m. The entrance is made of red granite.
After the tour, we will take you back to the hotel.
In the morning, a tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned car to start your wonderful tour to visit as follows.
Egyptian Museum of Antiquities

The museum displays a rare collection of 5,000 years of art, considered the most valuable collection of Egyptian art in the world. More than 25,000 artifacts are on display, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamun's treasure, furniture, and jewelry, kept in his tomb for more than 3,500 years before being discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.
Hanging Church
The Hanging Church is the most famous church in the Coptic Quarter. It is known as the Hanging Church because it is built on one of the doors of the Roman castle, and the wooden dome of the church is in the form of Noah's Ark, as described in the Old Testament.
Abu Sarga Church
It is the oldest church in Egypt. It was built in the 5th century over the cave where it is believed that the Holy Family took refuge for several days. It is dedicated to Saints Sergius and Bacchus, pieces of whose remains are kept in this church.
Saint Barbara Church
It is a church of great historical importance, originally dedicated to Saint Cyrus and Saint John. From the 13th century onwards, it was dedicated to Saint Barbara as her remains came to this church. It houses some of the oldest and rarest icons of Coptic art.
Ben Ezra’s Synagogue
It was originally a church, but in the ninth century, it was sold to Abraham Ben Ezra, who gave it his name, for the money needed to pay the high taxes demanded by the Roman government.
Mosque of Amr ibn al-As
Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque is the oldest mosque in the African continent. Its origins go back to the year 642 when the territory of Cairo occupied Fustat, the capital of Egypt that had recently been established at that time.
