Cairo Layover Private Tour Giza Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Museum

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Your guide will hold sign with your name outside arrival hall then with private ac vehicle and driver going to Giza.

   1 h

2. Going to Giza , we have to pass through Nile river. Technically all of Cairo on the west bank of the Nile is Giza, though the name is inextricably linked with the Pyramids, 9km from the river, on the edge of the desert. Truly time-strapped sightseers could conceivably stay out here and bypass Cairo entirely, but that’s missing a lot of the fun. More realistically, you’ll probably come out here on a day outing. Sharia Al Haram (Pyramids Rd) leads straight to the site and the village of Nazlet As Samaan at its base and south of Pyramids Rd.

   1 h

3. The last remaining wonder of the ancient world; for nearly 4000 years, the extraordinary shape, impeccable geometry and sheer bulk of the Giza Pyramids have invited the obvious questions: ‘How were we built, and why?’. Centuries of research have given us parts of the answer. Built as massive tombs on the orders of the pharaohs, they were constructed by teams of workers tens-of-thousands strong. Today they stand as an awe-inspiring tribute to the might, organization and achievements of ancient Egypt then back to airport

   3 h

4. Grand Hall: Enter the Grand Hall, the main entrance area of the museum. Admire the grandeur of the hall and explore the informative displays and exhibits that provide an overview of the museum's history and significance. Interactive Activities: Engage with any interactive activities or presentations available in the Grand Hall to enhance your understanding of Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Exterior Gardens: Take a final stroll through the exterior gardens, capturing any remaining photo opportunities and cherishing the serene ambiance.

About Cairo

Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.

On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
