Itinerary

Day 1

Our representative from Best Destination Tours will be waiting to receive you at Cairo International Airport and help to clear immigration formalities and baggage claims and also to transfer you to the hotel. The first thing to do in Cairo is to visit the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx. Your guide will provide you with an overview of the history of the pyramids and the Sphinx and how they were built. Next, depending on which order you’d like to visit the tour, you can go to the Pyramids of Saqqara, where you can find the Step Pyramid of King Djoser; which was constructed by the architect Imhotep.

After having your lunch, you will proceed to visit the Dahshur pyramids, where you are free to view the bent pyramid and the red pyramid, which was constructed by King Senefru. Next, pay a visit to Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt, to capture an opportunity to see a colossal image of Ramses II and some other historical monuments. Your guide will then return you to your hotel to freshen up and check in before the next activity.
