From your hotel, we will start the tour for you and take you to the Giza Pyramids. Our tour is to cover all the information you require concerning the Giza Pyramids and the surrounding area, like the Valley Temple and the Great Sphinx. The Great Sphinx is common knowledge to the entire world, which really captivates people with its unique design bearing the lion body with a human head carved in limestone. It keeps bringing people to be photographed with it.
The land from where the Sphinx was carved is claimed to have been from the rock of the Giza plateau. The lower part of the body was sculpted out of very solid rock, whereas the upper parts were slowly forged out of softer layers. Inside and beneath the Sphinx's body, a number of columns have been found, likely excavated by would-be grave robbers before 1925.
The Cairo Tower, which was created by Egyptian architect Naoum Shabib and constructed between 1956 and 1961, will be our next stop. The structure in the shape of a lotus flower, a pharaonic flower, was constructed by almost 500 Egyptian artisans, costing around six million Egyptian pounds. Nasser's Thorn was what the Americans called the tower, referring to then Egypt's steadfast position.
Al-Azhar Mosque, the first mosque built with the purpose of an educational institute to teach and disseminate the Shiite faith, is now part of Islamic Cairo; it is now called Al-Azhar Mosque. Originally called the Mosque of Cairo, it is today Egypt's oldest surviving Fatimid structure.
Then, take us right next to the Al-Hussein Mosque, The mosque was built during the Fatimid era in 549 AH (1154 AD) under the supervision of the vizier al-Salih Tala'i. The three doors made of white marble overlook Khan al-Khalili, whereas the other door located adjacent to the dome is known as the Green Door.
With us, you'll have lunch in an Egyptian restaurant, and afterward, you will be transferred to your hotel.
