Day Itinerary
A Sun Pyramids Tours representative meets you at your hotel and transfers you to the Giza Plateau. The journey sets the tone for a full day of exploration across Egypt's most celebrated ancient sites.
You visit the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus, three of the most studied monuments in the world. The tour continues to the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple, both associated with the reign of King Chephren of the 4th Dynasty.
The group travels south to Sakkara to see the Step Pyramid, commissioned for King Djoser during the 3rd Dynasty. It is widely regarded as the world's oldest major stone structure and marks a pivotal moment in the development of Egyptian architecture.
A lunch break is included at a local restaurant, providing time to rest before the afternoon continues. This pause is built into the schedule and requires no additional payment.
The final stop is Memphis, founded by King Menes as the first capital of a unified Egypt. Here you view the Statue of Ramses II and the alabaster Sphinx of Memphis, two of the most significant artefacts from the Old Kingdom period.
After the Memphis visit, your representative transfers you back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza. The tour concludes approximately eight hours after the morning pick-up.
