The remarkable Giza Pyramids Complex stands as a supreme example of ingenuity and marvel, offering a stunning insight into the legacy of ancient Egyptian civilization dating back over 4,500 years. It was built to ascend towards the heavens alongside the ancient Egyptian gods and to preserve their golden heritage forever. The complex includes the famous trio of the three principal pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the imposing Great Sphinx guardian, and the sacred valley temple.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is an extraordinary celestial wonder and a timeless monument built by Pharaoh Khufu around 2570 BC. Its construction took approximately 20 years, utilizing about 2.3 million limestone blocks weighing a total of one million tons, reaching a height of 147 meters (481 feet). The pyramid features a remarkably intricate interior, including the grand hall, the king’s chamber, and several other magnificent rooms that display exceptional architectural and artistic craftsmanship.
The Great Sphinx is a mysterious and legendary monument that tells stories of wisdom and strength. This statue, created around 2540 BC in the likeness of Pharaoh Khafre, was designed to inspire travelers, poets, and artists worldwide. It was sculpted from a single immense block of limestone, measuring 73 meters (240 ft) in length, 19 meters (62 ft) in width, and 20 meters (66 ft) in height.
The Valley Temple is an extraordinary and enigmatic structure dating back to the 4th dynasty, where rulers from around the world came for mummification. It is constructed from exquisite limestone and granite, with walls adorned by impressive diorite statues that pay tribute to the pharaohs.
Following your breathtaking visit to the magnificent Pyramids of Giza, you will be taken to one of Cairo’s exceptional restaurants to enjoy authentic Egyptian dishes. Afterwards, your exciting exploration will proceed.
The iconic Saqqara Step Pyramid is celebrated for paving the way for the rulers of the 4th dynasty to construct their own monumental structures in Giza. This unique architectural marvel was built as the tomb of Pharaoh Djoser. Designed by his esteemed vizier Imhotep, it features six distinct steps rising to a height of 62 meters, along with an accompanying complex, representing the beginning of Egypt's pyramid-building tradition.
Memphis City was Egypt's first capital and significantly influenced history for centuries. Founded by Pharaoh Menes around 3100 BC, it was known as the life of two lands and the land of endurance and beauty. The city served as the religious center dedicated to the god Ptah, the deity of creation and craftsmanship.
As the day comes to an end, head back to your hotel, allowing the day's experiences to resonate with you, followed by a restful night in preparation for more Christmas activities tomorrow.
