Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Pyramids of Giza, Al Haram Str., Giza 12611 Egypt
The Giza Pyramids, built to endure an eternity, have done just that. The monumental tombs are relics of Egypt’s Old Kingdom era and were constructed some 4,500 years ago.
Egypt’s pharaohs expected to become gods in the afterlife. To prepare for the next world they erected temples to the gods and massive pyramid tombs for themselves—filled with all the things each ruler would need to guide and sustain himself in the next world.
Pharaoh Khufu began the first Giza pyramid project, circa 2550 B.C. His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and towers some 481 feet (147 meters) above the plateau. Its estimated 2.3 million stone blocks each weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons.
Pass By: The Egyptian Museum, 6341 Mississauga Rd, Mississauga, Ontario L5N 1A5 Canada
In 1902, during the reign of Khedive Abbas Helmy II, the new building was opened in its current location in the heart of Cairo. The museum includes more than 150,000 artifacts, the most important of which are the archaeological collections that were found in the tombs of the kings and the royal entourage of the middle family in Dahshur in 1894, and the museum now includes the greatest archaeological collection in the world that expresses all stages of ancient Egyptian history.
