You will visit the greatest archaeological landmark in the world, the famous Giza Pyramids, which continue to amaze the world to this day. According to the Russian archaeological mission affiliated with the Institute of Oriental Studies, the mission discovered a rock-cut tomb in the eastern part of the Giza necropolis, 300 meters from the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The institute said that a small excavation revealed the remains of a dazzlingly decorated wooden coffin and intact ceramic vessels, which were typically used for the deceased's journey to the afterlife. Archaeologists are getting ready to open a new entrance to the burial chamber.

You will see the Great Sphinx, which is a colossal stone statue carved from a single piece of limestone. It is considered one of the largest monumental statues in the world, measuring 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height. It features a powerful lion's body with a human head, adorned with a distinctive royal headdress. It is estimated that the statue took three years and 100 workers to build, using stone hammers and solid copper chisels. The Great Sphinx dates back to the reign of King Khafre, between 2575 and 2465 BC, and historians estimate it is approximately 4,500 years old.

You will visit the Valley Temple of the King Khafre, which was the main entrance to the complex and a reception area for the living king when he visited to inspect the construction work. It was also where the sacred funerary rites of the deceased king were performed and perhaps also where he was mummified.

You will visit the Saqqara area, which dates back more than 3,000 years. The Old Kingdom is considered the most prosperous period in its history, when the first and most important revolution in the art of construction and architecture occurred. The brilliant engineer Imhotep used stone instead of mud brick to construct the impressive funerary complex of King Djoser, making him the first person to construct a building entirely of stone. This is the reason for the fame of the distinctive Pyramid of Djoser. Saqqara contains a large group of pyramids, numbering approximately 30, 15 of which are dedicated to the king, while the rest are religious pyramids or pyramids for queens.

You will visit the Teti Pyramid section, which includes the iconic pyramid of Teti, the first king of the Sixth Dynasty, and the pyramids of his two wives, as well as a group of other famous tombs, such as the Tomb of Mereruka. You will also see the Tombs of the Nobles, which include the tombs of kings and senior officials of the First and Second Dynasties, and a vast collection of tombs of prominent individuals from the Old Kingdom, such as the famous Kagemni Tomb.

After enjoying this wonderful tour, we will return you to your hotel for some rest after your long tour.
