Your day begins with a friendly pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Your personal Egyptologist guide will greet you and share the day's itinerary as you make your way toward the Giza Plateau. This door-to-door service makes your experience smooth and worry-free.
Begin your day at the legendary Giza Plateau, home to Egypt’s most iconic monuments — the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Stand in awe before these colossal structures, marveling at the precision and scale that still baffles experts today. Just nearby, the enigmatic Sphinx keeps silent watch — its lion’s body and human face carved from a single block of limestone. Your guide will share the myths, theories, and facts that make these ancient wonders come alive.
Next, travel south to Sakkara, home of the Step Pyramid of Djoser — the earliest large-scale stone structure ever built. Explore ancient tombs and admire vivid wall carvings that reveal stories of daily life in Egypt’s Old Kingdom. Then head to nearby Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt. Though the city has faded, its open-air museum features powerful artifacts, including the massive fallen statue of Ramses II and a graceful alabaster sphinx.
