Your morning begins with the Great Pyramids of Giza, where you will explore the exterior areas of the complex and enjoy panoramic views across the plateau. You will see the three main pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World; the Pyramid of Khafre, known for the remaining casing stones near its summit; and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three.

From there, continue to the Valley Temple of Khafre, an important part of the king's pyramid complex. Built from massive limestone blocks, it was associated with purification and funerary rituals connected with the king's burial.

You will then make your way to the Great Sphinx, where you can enjoy close exterior views and take photographs of this iconic monument, featuring the body of a lion and the head of a king, traditionally associated with Pharaoh Khafre.

Once the Giza sightseeing is complete, your private vehicle will take you to a carefully selected local restaurant, where you will enjoy lunch around midday.

After lunch, continue south to Saqqara, one of Egypt's most important ancient necropolises.

Step Pyramid of Djoser
