Great Sphinx, Chephren Pyramid, Giza, Egypt |
No visit to
Cairo is complete without seeing the majesty of the
Great Pyramids of Giza and the
Sphinx.you'll enjoy personalized attention on your tour of these famous symbols of
Egypt's ancient civilization. As this is a tour, you can determine the amount of time you'd like to spend at each of the sites you'll visit. On the Giza plateau, the
Great Pyramids and the Sphinx date back over 3,000 years. While there are actually over 100 pyramids in
Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza are by far the most famous and are the last of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. You will have free time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), although your guide is not permitted to enter with you. After visiting the
pyramids, you'll then 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. The
Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a king, and is surrounded in mystery, including the unanswered questions: who built it and why. In addition you will have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how this famous artwork is made. If you do not want to include this visit, just inform your guide on the day.
