• Night Optional tour (Sphynx sound & light show + Dinner) or (2 hours Nile Cruise by night including Dinner & Dancing show).

Accommodation:

• Enjoy healthy breakfast, then head to the Pyramids area.
• The pyramids area is too wide to explore on foot, therefore the vehicle is necessary to move inside the area.
• Begin by stopping in front of the Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops). After listening to your Egyptology tour guide’s talk about the Pyramid, you will take free time (25 minutes in case you enter the pyramid, & 15 minutes in case you won’t).
• Then return to your vehicle, move to the Panorama point where you can take one photo for the three pyramids, and enjoy camel riding (if you wish)
• Return to your vehicle again and move toward Sphynx (the largest one rock sculptured statue in world’s history).
• Move to Restaurant to enjoy Egyptian cooking for Lunch.
• After Lunch, with your air-conditioned vehicle, and accompanied by your Egyptologist tour guide, move a little bit to the south of the Giza Pyramids (nearly 20—24 Kms) to visit three archeological sites: Dahshur, Memphis, & Sakkara. There you will find out that Giza still has a lot to reveal.
• By visiting Dahshur you will be surprised to know that Egypt has other 2 great pyramids built 4600 years ago by King Seneferu (Cheops’s father). One of them is the bent pyramid, the other is the Red pyramid.
• Then move by vehicle to Memphis (the oldest capital in world’s History). An open-air museum is now standing in the same spot that used to embrace the temple dedicated to the ancient deity Ptah, which was worshiped as the god of art and sculpture during the ancient times. Memphis’s open-air museum is famous mainly for having the magnificent statue of Ramses II as well as the Alabaster Sphynx (second biggest sphinx statue in Egypt).
• Proceed to Sakkara by your air-conditioned vehicle to see the oldest pyramid in Egypt (step pyramid) built by King Zoser. During the past few years, Sakkara’s name has been echoing worldwide due to the successive discoveries of ancient tombs containing well preserved mummies placed inside colorful coffins.

• Being given its name by Alexander the Great himself is the exceptional thing about Alexandria of Egypt among other cities carrying the same name. Alexandria was founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. An Egyptian village named Rhacotis existed at the location and grew into the Egyptian quarter of Alexandria. Alexandria was the intellectual and cultural center of the ancient Mediterranean world during the Hellenistic age. It was once the most glorious city in the ancient world before being eventually overtaken by Rome. Hellenistic Alexandria was best known for its Great Library (Bibliotheca Alexandria), its Lighthouse (Pharos) one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; as well as the Necropolis of Catacomb, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Alexandria was a major center of early Christianity and was the center of one of the major centers of Christianity in the Eastern Roman Empire (the Patriarchate of Alexandria). Even in the modern world, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria both lay claim to this ancient heritage.

Old Cairo district is well known for being blessed by the visit of infant Jesus & his mother during the time they spent in Egypt.
