Day-02 Explore Giza Treasures
Enjoy Your breakfast at Hotel, then head with our tour guide by special Vehicles to Cairo, Enjoy a great excursion to:
Giza pyramids
The pyramids were built in this pyramidal shape, which was associated with the idea of the creation of the universe among the ancient Egyptians. They believed, according to some of their writings and religious texts, that the pyramid was a means to help the deceased's soul reach the heavens with the god Ra. Sometimes, the sun's rays can be seen between the clouds, taking the pyramidal shape, which was one of the many means to help them ascend to the heavens.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, "Khufu pyramid"
The construction of the pyramid dates back to around 2560 BC, where it was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty and took 20 years to complete. The construction of the Great Pyramid is a major cultural leap in the history of ancient Egypt. Khufu was influenced by his father, King Sneferu, in building his pyramid; after his death, Khufu became the ruling god on earth, and it became necessary for him to think about building his tomb, which is considered the first national project in ancient Egypt, in which professional workers from all over Egypt participated. The Great Pyramid remained at its original height of 146.5 meters, the tallest man-made structure on earth for over 3,800 years.
The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx is considered the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most famous statues in the world. Archaeological evidence indicates that it was created by the ancient Egyptians during the Old Kingdom period, during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (circa 2558-2532 BC). It is a large stone statue carved from limestone, depicting a mythical creature with a human head and a lion's body in a reclining position. The statue faces directly from west to east, located on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile River in Giza, Egypt.
The Valley Temple
The Valley Temple of Khafre is a very old temple in Egypt, built around 2570 BCE. It was an important place for ceremonies when a pharaoh died. The temple was the starting point for the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife. The temple is special because it's still in good condition, even though it's so old. It was built with big limestone blocks and covered in polished granite. This has helped it survive for thousands of years, making it one of the best-preserved structures from ancient Egypt.
The Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand museum has a huge collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, with over 100,000 pieces. This includes the famous King Tutankhamun collection, which has 5,398 pieces and takes up a big space in the museum. Some of the artifacts have never been shown before, like the second solar ship of Khufu and collections belonging to important people like Queen Hetepheres and Yuya and Thuya.
Lunch Time
The lunch will be served at one of the most famous restaurants in Giza.
Saqqara Step Pyramid
The Step Pyramid of Djoser is the first Egyptian pyramid, consisting of six mastabas stacked on top of each other, representing a huge development in tomb design at that time. The pyramid stands 62 meters high, with a base area of 109m x 125m, and was covered in polished white limestone. It's considered the first large stone structure, although the enclosure known as Gisr el-Mudir seems to have preceded it. At the end of the day we will drive you back to the hotel to have a rest before the next day of Cairo and Luxor Christmas new year holiday.

Lunch time
The lunch will be served at one of the most famous local restaurants in Cairo.
Al-Mu'izz Street
Al-Mu'izz Street is the main street in Old Cairo, built to be an open-air museum of Islamic architecture and heritage. During the Mamluk period, the street became a hub of economic and cultural activities, filled with religious, educational, medical, commercial, and residential buildings. Today, the street is home to many important Islamic monuments in Egypt.
Khan El-Khalili
Khan El-Khalili is one of Egypt's most important tourist areas. It's known for its narrow streets, bazaars, shops, and traditional restaurants. The area inspired many Egyptian writers, like Naguib Mahfouz, who wrote a novel called "Khan el-Khalili". When visiting, you can see old mashrabiyas and beautiful sabils decorated with copper. The streets are crowded, and vendors greet visitors with phrases like "Egypt is shining" and "come take a look".
