• Pyramids of Giza - Meet your personal guide in your hotel lobby at 8:00 am for the short drive out of Cairo to the desert at Giza, part of the legendary Sahara Desert. Here you’ll admire the three mighty pyramids silhouetted against the sand, beginning with the Great Pyramid, built by the pharaoh Khufu over 3,500 years ago. Your guide will explain the stories behind this and the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, including how they were constructed and how they looked in ancient times, and take you out into the desert for photo opportunities.

Next, you’ll descend to admire the Sphinx, the giant half-human, half-lion monument that’s an icon of Egypt. Finally, you’ll explore an Ancient Egyptian temple, the Valley Temple, most likely built by Khafre, in the days when the River Nile flowed past Giza and this desert gorge was fertile valley. You’ll drive back to your hotel
