Your
guide for the day will pick you up and begin your guided tour
in Giza
to visit the
legendary majestic Pyramids
of Cheops, Cherfrern and Mykerionos - also known as the Great
Pyramids of Giza. You will see firsthand why these spectacular
man-made monuments are known as one of the seven wonders of
the world. While visiting the Pyramids, this is a perfect time
to ride a camel and capture your experience in a photograph!
When
we finish exploring the Great Pyramids our next stop is a visit
to the Sphinx monument; guarding the royal burial chambers and
temple of Cheops.
NOTE:
Before going to the Egyptian museum this is the best time to
take a break for lunch (not included in price) or visit
one
of the following (included in tour price): 1) Papyrus Gallery,
2) Gold Factory or 3) Perfume Factory.
In
the afternoon we will visit
the Egyptian museum of antiquities, which was
established in 1902 near the city center in Cairo. On display
is a rare collection of 5000 years of art — the largest most
precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000
genuine artifacts are presented, including an exhibit
dedicated to the Tut-Ankh-Amon collection of treasures, gold,
and jewelry, as it was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500
years before it was discovered in the 1920’s when his tomb
was excavated.
