The experience

The day starts with a drive to Giza, where you stand in front of the three main pyramids and the valley temple facing the Sphinx. The Great Pyramid of Cheops is one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. The middle pyramid belongs to Chephren and the smaller one to Mykerinos. The Sphinx continues the stop, its scale and age the frame for what you see next.

After Giza, the tour moves to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The building itself dates to 1900, built in neo-classical style by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. Inside are collections exceeding 120,000 objects: artifacts ranging from the pre-historic era through the Greco-Roman period, many found nowhere else. Your guide leads you through the holdings, and lunch at a local restaurant breaks the day between the two sites.

Hotel pickup and return are included, as are all entrance fees and taxes. The guide speaks your choice of language and travels with the group throughout.
