The Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Experience begins with an early morning start in Cairo, where you will learn about pharaoh construction methods and history from our top tour guide. The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the sole survivor among the seven ancient wonders, built by King Chephren during the old kingdom. The pyramid of Mycerinus stands as a major tourist attraction due to its construction using limestone and granite.

After the Great Pyramid, you will continue your exploration through Egypt, visiting the Valley Temple of King Chephren, which served as the site for royal body preparation during mummification ceremonies. This tomb is believed to symbolize the wisdom and intelligence of King Chephren, who was also a semi-god. The famous statue with a human head and lion's body is believed to have been carved for King Chephren to be a guardian of the pyramids and to symbolize his wisdom and intelligence.

You will then continue your half-day tours in Cairo, entering the Valley Temple of King Chephren, where the royal body of the king was embalmed during mummification. The temple is located in front of the Great Sphinx. In the evening, you can enjoy camel riding at the Giza plateau, with expert guidance helping you capture unforgettable moments throughout your Egypt Day Tours.

Resume your Cairo Tours to go through a lot of Islamic Cairo monumental buildings represented in El Moez Street which was established in 969, it is named after the Caliph Al-Muizz, and the effects of the street date back to the Fatimid, Ayyubid, and Mamluk eras, to attest to the splendor of the civilizations that existed at that time. This Islamic Cairo Tour will take you through the historic buildings and mosques that show the greatest variety of medieval architectural wealth anywhere in the Islamic world, as well as the oldest bazaar in Egypt.

It is considered one of the most important and ancient historical neighborhoods in Cairo, attracting tourists due to its beautiful atmosphere.

Yes, for a more fulfilling trip, hiring a guide is highly advised. Competent guides can offer recommendations, assistance with getting around the city, and historical and cultural insights. Tour operators or the attractions themselves can make arrangements for guides.

Egypt has an overall mild climate, with the best time to visit being between October and May.

The Citadel was built by a ruler named Salah al-Din to keep the city safe from attacks by a group called the Crusaders. It was also meant to be a safe place for the ruler to run the government. This happened a long time ago, not too long after Salah al-Din had taken down another group called the Fatimid Caliphate.

Al Moez Street is a very important street in Cairo that tells the story of the city from a long time ago until now. It shows how Islamic civilization has changed over time, starting with the Fatimid era, then the Ayyubid era, and then the Mamelukes, Circassians, and Ottomans. The street goes on for a long way and has lots of interesting things to see.

The Saladin Citadel in Cairo is a huge and impressive building that shows us how people used to build things a long time ago. It is very tall and can be seen from far away. When I visited, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and how important it is in history.
