Giza pyramids
One of the most mysterious seven wonders of the ancient world (and the only one that still exists.)

-Pyramid of Cheops :
the construction of the pyramid dates from approximately the year 2560 BC, when it was built as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu, and its construction continued over 20 years.

– Pyramid of Khafre
It is one of the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. It is built by King Khafre. Lower in height than his father’s pyramid (Khufu), it is built on an area of 215 square meters and has two entrances on the northern side. It still retains some of its outer covering at the top.

-Pyramid of Menkaure

it is the smallest of the three main pyramids of the Giza pyramid complex located on the Giza plateau in the southwestern suburbs of Cairo, Egypt. It is believed to have been built to serve as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Mykarenus.

Giza Plateau
Explore the most famous sightseeing in the world, the Giza pyramids! In this sightseeing, you will learn a lot of stories and secrets about the pyramids from our specialist archeologist tour guide. In this sightseeing, you will visit 9 pyramids, three of them belonging to the kings of the 4th dynasty, in addition to 6 smaller pyramids belonging to the queens of ancient Egypt.

Then proceeding to witness:Sphinx-
Known in Arabic as Abu Al Hol (Father of Terror), this sculpture of a man with the haunches of a lion was dubbed the Sphinx by the ancient Greeks because it resembled their mythical winged monster who set riddles and killed anyone unable to answer them. A geological survey has shown that it was most likely carved from the bedrock at the bottom of the causeway during Khafre’s reign, so it probably portrays his features.

Then move to visit Valley Temple
After visiting the pyramids of Giza you will visit the Valley temple of King Khafre which was built to mummify his body after death. the Vally temple of King Khafre is attached to the great sphinx which belongs to the same king. The statue of the sphinx has the head of King Khfrae and the body of the lion to guard his pyramid.

After that, you can stop for lunch in a local Egyptian restaurant

Then move to visit the Saqqara Step Pyramid

Also known as the “Step Pyramid,” Djoser’s Pyramid stands in the Saqqara Necropolis.
The pyramid consists of six mastabas and inside the pyramid there are galleries and wells dug directly into the rock, in which a deposit of mummies of the royal family was found.
The white and turquoise ceramics that were found inside the pyramid and the very heavy pink granite slabs that covered the burial chamber are very famous.
Also in Saqqara is the tomb of Mehu, recently opened to the public for the first time since its discovery in 1940. This dignitary of the sixth dynasty was buried with the highest honors in a place which, thanks to its secluded position, managed to survive the raids of looters and keep its hieroglyphs in good condition.

Then transfer to witness the Titi pyramid
It is entered through a descending corridor that leads to a horizontal corridor, leading to a front room. There are three chambers for storing burial tools on the left, and on the right, on the western side, is the burial chamber whose ceiling is decorated with golden stars on a dark blue background, which reflects the ancient Egyptian idea of the tomb as a microcosm of the universe.

Kagmni Tomb
The Kagmeni Tomb is located east of the Mery Roka cemetery and adjacent to it, and its door opens towards the east. The mastaba consists of seven rooms, most of which are rectangular, all of which are engraved in relief, some of which have excellent views. The first room contains murals, which is a boat made of bundles of papyrus, in which Kamanji stands. The second room contains scenes representing fishing, and below these scenes are inscriptions representing types of fish.
