Giza pyramids, Saqqara, and Motor Boat ride from Aswan
Our itinerary begins with a visit to the Giza Plateau, where we will explore the Pyramid of Khufu, commonly known as the Great Pyramid. It is thought to have taken over 20 years to build, involving the efforts of tens of thousands of workers. Khufu's son, Khafre, constructed the second-largest pyramid at Giza, which is notable for its sloping top. The smallest of the three pyramids, the Pyramid of Menkaure, was built by Khafre's son. It features red granite interior chambers and outer casing made of granite. Additionally, we will enjoy a motorboat ride on the water, which offers a pleasant way to experience the area.
We will also have the chance to explore Saqqara, where we can visit attractions such as the step pyramids, the tombs of nobles, and the Serapeum.
Following this, we will travel to the downtown area of Cairo and take a relaxed 30-minute felucca ride along the Nile.
Throughout the trip, our expert local guides will provide in-depth insights into Egyptian history and culture.
This is an engaging and informative experience that allows you to discover the many facets of Egypt's rich civilization.
