Day 2 - Cairo - breakfast
Today, enjoy a guided visit to the famous pyramids and lion-headed Sphinx at Giza Plateau. Gaze in awe at Cheops (Khufu), the largest of the three great pyramids. Constructed from over 2.5 million limestone blocks it is thought to have taken more than 20 years to construct.
For a real Arabian experience, perhaps opt to hire a camel for a trot across the sands of Giza. Continuing to tomb-strewn Saqqara, we explore the many tombs and temples at this site and see Zhoser’s step pyramid.
Continuing into the city centre, we enjoy a guided tour of the city sights and a visit to the famous Egyptian Museum, containing more than 136 000 antiquities including the priceless funerary treasures of King Tutankhamen, including his legendary solid gold death mask. Remainder of day free.
