Your knowledgeable Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza to begin your day. The first stop is Memphis, the capital city of ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Stroll in the open-air museum with majestic colossal statues of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx as proud emblematic reminders of the city’s past glory. Learn how Memphis functioned as a center for culture and religion, and gaze at a collection of artifacts whose origin can be traced back to the heart of this ancient city since the early dynastic era.
Next, proceed towards the nearby Giza Plateau to have an up-close encounter with the world-famous Pyramids of Giza. Feared to be mighty with their architecture, the three great pyramids are Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The Great Sphinx, a representation of ancient Egypt made from a single slab of limestone, stands majestically in front. Your knowledgeable guide will go into further detail about the myths and mysteries surrounding these monuments. After a tour of the monuments, enjoy some free time for photo sessions or an optional camel ride before making your way back to the hotel, which contains plenty of ancient marvels and unforgettable scenes.
