When you arrive in Cairo, you will be driven to your tour destination to see the Giza Pyramids after being driven from your Sharm el-Sheik hotel to the airport.
The Pyramid of Khufu is part of a larger complex, consisting of:
A mortuary temple into two parts: an area below which is the "Valley Temple" (or "Lower Temple," as it is connected with the landing port near its cultivated lands; this site might have been used for receiving the king on his way to the afterlife, but it does not indicate purification or mummification); an upper area (also "High Temple," a funerary chapel where the clergy placed his offerings every day) near the pyramid.
Located in Saqqara, Egypt, the Djoser funerary complex was constructed during King Djoser's reign. It is the second building ever constructed of cut stone in Egyptian architecture. It marks a significant development in monumental architecture. Indeed, the king's tomb took, for the first time and after numerous modifications, the form of a pyramid. This innovation marked the birth of a new type of burial. The cult elements, as well as the stepped enclosure, represent the culmination of an architecture evolving since the 2nd Dynasty.
Two names are associated with this building: that of the architect Imhotep, who designed it, and that of the Egyptologist Jean-Philippe Lauer, who devoted his entire life to studying the remains of this Old Kingdom masterpiece.
After a walk in Khan El Khalili markets, you will be transferred to a boat for dinner. The package includes: 3-hour Nile cruise - All Inclusive open buffet lunch. Enjoy delectable cuisine, folkloric performances, and the captivating scenery from the finest moving Nile boats on one of these Nile dinner cruises, lunch cruises, or evening cruises on the Nile.
