Top 7 Days Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Tour

You will enjoy a delicious breakfast at your hotel for the first time, and then you will start your enjoyable tour of the most important archaeological sites in the world. You will see the most important archaeological landmark in the world, the Pyramids of Giza, about which many rumors spread claiming that the pyramids were built by aliens, which angered Egyptian archaeologists who presented many conclusive pieces of evidence proving that the pyramids are an authentic Egyptian creation and made by Egyptian hands. This evidence is well-known to everyone and published worldwide, including what is mentioned in many archaeological discoveries that prove this, the first of which are the famous "Wadi Al-Jarf Papyrus," "The Workers' Town in the South Mountain of the Pyramids," and "The Tombs of the Workers Who Built the Pyramids in the South Mountain of the Pyramids."

You will see the Great Sphinx, which belongs to the Fourth Dynasty and was added by Khafre. However, some believe it was built by Khafre's older brother, Djedefre, to commemorate their great father, Khufu. These scholars point out that the face of the Great Sphinx bears a greater resemblance to Khafre, which has led to the rumor that Khufu himself built the statue.

You will visit the Valley Temple, which was built of solid granite alongside the pyramid. A causeway connects it to the pyramid. You will find inside it several fine statues of King Khafre and the god Horus, known as the "falcon god" because he takes the form of a falcon in some temple inscriptions and papyri. These statues are built of diorite, which was imported from the Nubian Desert.

You will enjoy exploring the ancient Saqqara complex, which is part of the famous Memphis Necropolis. It houses a large number of precious ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the oldest monumental stone structure in history dating back to the Third Dynasty. The famous French architect Jean-Philippe Loyer devoted a large part of his life to restoring the pyramid complex of King Djoser. You will also see the pyramids of numerous kings from the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, most notably the pyramid of King Unas, the first to have his burial chamber inscribed with the Pyramids' inscriptions and writings. The pyramids also house kings and senior officials from the First and Second Dynasties, as well as a vast collection of tombs of wealthy individuals from the Old Kingdom. The area also includes valuable archaeological tombs dating back to the First Intermediate Period, as well as tombs from the Middle and New Kingdoms. The area also includes the burial site of the sacred Apis bull (the Serapeum), which remained in use from the Eighteenth Dynasty until the famous Ptolemaic period. You will enjoy a delicious lunch at one of Egypt's finest restaurants.

You will visit the famous city of Memphis, which is believed to have been founded by Menes, the legendary first king, in 3100 BC. The ancient city of Memphis was the capital during the Early Period (c. 3100–2686 BC) and the Old Kingdom (c. 2668–2121 BC) and remained one of the most important cities throughout more than three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history. Memphis was a center of worship for the god Ptah, whose temple was one of the most important in all of ancient Egypt. It was so important that the word "Egypt," derived from the Greek word "Aigyptos," came from the ancient temple name "Hout-ka-Ptah," meaning "Temple of the Famous Spirit of the God Ptah." You will see the granite statue of Ramesses II, approximately 33 feet tall, including its sturdy base. This statue stands as a testament to his precious legacy and the power of ancient Egyptian art and architecture.

You will see the famous alabaster sphinx, which was discovered by the renowned British archaeologist Flinders Petrie during excavations in the sanctuary of the Temple of Ptah in the southeastern area of ​​Mit Rahina. This alabaster statue dates back to the 18th Dynasty and was later reused in the Ramesside period.
