Start your day with breakfast at the hotel, followed by a private guided tour to explore Cairo's renowned attractions including the Great Giza Pyramids Complex, the majestic Sphinx, the captivating Valley Temple, and the Egyptian Museum.
Giza Pyramids Complex
The Giza pyramid complex has stood in the enigmatic western desert for the past 4000 years, making it one of the oldest monuments worldwide. The complex includes three major pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the magnificent Sphinx, known as Egypt's great guardian, and the valley temple, which was used to safeguard the heritage and legacy of the kings and queens for many generations.
The Great Giza Pyramid of Khufu
The Great Pyramid, the only remaining intact structure among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is one of the oldest and largest constructions still standing today. Its intricate interior and immense scale have inspired numerous mysteries and fringe theories. Dating back to 2580 BC, over 4,500 years ago, it was the first of its kind and marked the beginning of a golden era in Ancient Egyptian architecture. Constructed over 20 years, the pyramid consists of approximately 2,300,000 limestone blocks, each weighing about 2.5 tons, and was built by a skilled workforce of 100,000 free laborers. It rises to a height of 147 meters (481 feet), making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for nearly 3,800 years, until the Lincoln Cathedral in England surpassed it in 1311.
The Great Sphinx
The oldest statue in history depicts a mythical creature known as the Sphinx, featuring the body of a lion and the head of a man, likely representing King Khafre as a symbol of strength and wisdom. It is called Abu Al-Hawl, meaning The Father of Terror in Arabic. The statue stands 73 meters (240 feet) long and 19 meters (66 feet) high, carved from a single limestone rock.
The Valley Temple
The site where the mummification process was carried out. The valley was established during Egypt's Old Kingdom period (2686–2134 BC). It is one of the best-preserved monuments of Ancient Egyptian Civilization, constructed entirely from limestone and granite, and houses remarkable diorite statues of Chephren.
