Step back in time to the days of ancient Egypt on a private tour of
the Great Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, the necropolis of Sakkara and
the former capital, Memphis. With your own private Egyptologist guide
to lead the way on this private tour, you can determine the amount of
time you'd like to spend at each of the sites you'll visit. The Giza
Plateau is only around 30 minutes from Cairo, where your qualified
Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of
the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure. You will have free
time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), though your guide
is not permitted to enter with you, or take a camel ride (additional
cost). After visiting the pyramids, you'll continue across the plateau
for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands,
with the Cairo skyline in the background. A short drive to the city
side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, for
thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of Egypt. Also in Giza you may
visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional), home to the remarkably well
preserved funerary boat of Khufu. Your next stop is Sakkara, home of
Egypt's oldest pyramid, built in 2650 B.C. Your guide will provide a
brief history of the famous Step Pyramid and you’ll have free time to
walk around. Your final stop is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt.
Here you will see artifacts from many of the great rulers of Egypt,
including the fallen statue of Ramses II. You will also have the
chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how the famous artwork is
made.
