Trip to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum in Cairo

Price Starting From : $75

Explore one of the Seven Wonders of the World by visiting the Pyramids of Giza, which includes the towering pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty kings as well as the famous Sphinx, each with a different story to tell. Our driver will then take you to the Egyptian Museum, which houses 120,000 artifacts in a museum display scenario and the museum's stores, making it the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in Egypt and the world.

Discover the secrets of ancient Egyptian civilization up close and personal on an unparalleled tour offered at great prices.

You will explore the 3 most important pyramids in Egypt out of more than a hundred ancient pyramids found in Egypt, which is located on the Giza plateau on the west bank of the Nile River, where the ancient Egyptians believed that the western side symbolized the world of the dead as the sun sets in it, so they dedicated it to their tombs, and the eastern side symbolized the world of the living, so they built their cities in it.

Then after this exciting tour, you will visit the Egyptian Museum, the oldest museum in Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East, and the oldest museum in the world that was designed from the beginning to be a museum, not a palace or a house, and converted to a museum later, pointing out that it will never close because the museum building itself is a monument, and will continue to perform its mission to the world not only in displaying archaeological pieces but also its mission in scientific research and Egyptology.

The largest of the pyramids was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu between 2551 and 2528 BC, and the others were built during the reigns of Khafre, who ruled between 2520 and 2494 BC, and Menkaure, who ruled between 2490 and 2472 BC.

Pharaohs gradually stopped building them during the New Kingdom, which lasted between 1550 BC and 1070 BC, choosing instead to bury them in the Valley of the Kings, about 483 kilometers south of Giza, and scholars point out that they were not isolated structures, but part of an architectural complex.

We will take a break for a delicious Egyptian lunchThen you will be transferred to the Egyptian Museum, where visitors can travel back in time to more than 3,500 years ago to live the story of King Tutankhamun in an interactive 360-degree visual display.

The museum is constantly being developed, whether developing the infrastructure, exhibition halls, and museum display scenario, or using new and innovative methods, the most recent of which is augmented reality technologies.

The first pharaoh in the history of Egypt was Narmer, also known as Menes. Narmer is believed to have unified Upper and Lower Egypt, founding the First Dynasty around 3100 BCE. He is often considered the first historical Pharaoh, as his rule marked the beginning of the dynastic period in ancient Egypt. Narmer is known for his inscriptions on various artifacts, including the Narmer Palette, which depicts his achievements and the unification of Egypt.

In Giza, there's a multitude of captivating tourist activities that showcase the ancient wonders and cultural richness of the region:

  • Pyramids of Giza.
  • Sound and light show.
  • Camel or horseback riding
  • Solar Boat Museum
  •     Imhotep Museum.
  •     Saqqara Necropolis.
  •     Memphis.
  • traditional Egyptian cuisine.
  • hot air balloon ride.

It's best to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes, as you'll be doing a fair amount of walking. Egypt can be hot, so lightweight and breathable fabrics are ideal. Additionally, it's a good idea to dress modestly out of respect for the local culture, especially when visiting religious sites like mosques.

The time required for a tour of the Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum depends on your level of interest and the depth of exploration you desire. A typical guided tour usually takes around 4-6 hours. This timeframe allows for a visit to the three main pyramids at Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, as well as the Sphinx and the Solar Boat Museum. In the Egyptian Museum, you can explore the extensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun.

We advise giving yourself at least three hours to fully appreciate your enchanted surroundings during your visit to the pyramid complex. After viewing the pyramids, take the chance to tour historic temples and discover the locations of the formal worship of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, which took place many thousands of years ago.
