ITINERARY

Morning Pickup — Cairo or Giza Hotel
Your private Egyptologist and driver will meet you at your hotel for a comfortable journey to the Giza Plateau, beginning your exploration of Egypt’s most celebrated landmarks.

Stop 1 — The Giza Plateau
Egypt’s most iconic archaeological site. It represents the height of Old Kingdom royal architecture and remains one of the best-preserved monumental landscapes of the ancient world.

Highlights

• The Great Pyramid of Cheops
  The only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, a masterpiece of precision engineering and royal ambition. Stand before its immense limestone blocks, aligned to the stars with astonishing accuracy, and learn how this monumental structure has challenged historians, architects, and explorers for centuries.

• The Pyramids of Chephren and Mykerinus
  The elegant companions to the Great Pyramid, each reflecting its own architectural character and royal legacy. Chephren’s pyramid still preserves traces of its original casing at the summit, while the smaller but finely proportioned pyramid of Mykerinus offers a quieter glimpse into the evolution of pyramid design in the Old Kingdom.

• The Great Sphinx
  Carved from a single block of limestone, its human face and lion’s body symbolizing wisdom and strength. Hear the legends that surround this ancient guardian and the mysteries it has silently kept for over 4,000 years.

• The Valley Temple
  A beautifully preserved site that once played a vital role in royal purification and mummification rituals. The temple’s massive stone blocks and polished floors still echo the power and reverence of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.

Stop 2 — Saqqara Necropolis
Egypt’s oldest royal burial ground. This vast desert plateau holds tombs, mastabas, and monuments spanning thousands of years, offering a clear view of how ancient funerary traditions evolved long before the Giza pyramids were built.

Highlights

• The Step Pyramid of King Djoser
  The world’s first monumental stone structure. Designed by the architect Imhotep, this groundbreaking pyramid marked the beginning of Egypt’s pyramid age and remains one of its most influential architectural achievements.

Return Transfer — Cairo or Giza Hotel
After your visit, relax as your private driver takes you back to your hotel. Reflect on the day’s discoveries — from the monumental pyramids of Giza to the ancient stones of Saqqara, where Egypt’s story first began.
