Tour itinerary
Day 1: Pyramids of Giza Pyramids of Memphis Sakkara and Dahshur
The Sphinx – The fabled protector with a lion body and King Chephren’s head who guards the vast funerary complex. Giza Pyramids, where you may see the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos, as well as the Valley Temple, where the Priests mummified King Chephren’s dead body. There will also be a close-up view of The Sphinx. Egypt’s ancient capital is home to the huge monument of Ramses II and the magnificent Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates from 3100 B.C. The Sphinx of Memphis is a stone sphinx near the Memphis ruins in Egypt. The carving is thought to have taken place between 1700 and 1400 BC, during the 18th dynasty. It’s unclear whose pharaoh is being honored, and there are no inscriptions to help.
The Pyramid of Djoser, also known as the Step Pyramid, is an ancient relic in Egypt’s Saqqara necropolis, northwest of Memphis. The 6-tiered, 4-sided construction is Egypt’s first enormous stone edifice.
The Dahshour Pyramids embody ancient Egypt. Although the Giza Plateau is a more popular tourist destination, Dahshour is equivalent to a magnificent book, bringing us great and glorious stories from Ancient Egyptian history. twisted pyramid Dahshour is one of Memphis’ most prominent cemeteries and one of the city’s several huge necropoleis. The Dahshour region, located approximately 30 kilometers south of the Giza Pyramids and in the southern wing of Saqqara, has pyramids from the IV and XII Dynasties. The Pyramid of Amenemhat II and the Pyramid of Amenemhat III, often known as the Black Pyramid, may be found here. In reality, King Snefru (2680-2656 B.C. ), the founder of the IV Dynasty, was the first to choose to erect his tomb in this royal territory because it was close to the city, of Memphis.
Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, which is now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman; diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, but the site has not been excavated; and Khafre’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. Many sculptures of Khafre were discovered in the valley temple. Mariette discovered many in a well on the temple floor in 1860. Menkaure’s pyramid complex consists of a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. Many sculptures of Menkaure originally stood in the valley temple. A tiny ante-temple was erected to the valley temple around the 5th Dynasty.
Day 2: Egyptian Museum, Citadel, and Khan Khalili Bazaar
The Egyptian Museum, one of the world’s most important collections of ancient artifacts, is located in Downtown Cairo, on the north side of Midan Tahrir. Within the vast domed, curiously pinkish temple, the brilliant riches of Tutankhamun and other renowned pharaohs lie beside the burial goods, mummies, jewels, eating bowls, and toys of Egyptians whose names are lost to history. A trip around the museum is a voyage through time.
The Citadel of Cairo, also known as the Citadel of Saladin, is a medieval Islamic-era fortress in Cairo, Egypt, erected by Salah ad-Din and expanded by following Egyptian kings. From the 13th through the 19th centuries, it was Egypt’s seat of government and the palace of its monarchs.
The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, is a mosque in Cairo, Egypt, that was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848.
Khan el-Khalili is a significant souq in Cairo’s old quarter. The bazaar neighborhood is a popular tourist and Egyptian attraction in Cairo.
Day 3: Day Trip to Coptic and Islamic Cairo
Settlement in the Cairo region did not begin in the current city center. The initial germ of what became the present metropolis today stands on the city’s southern outskirts, known as Old Cairo. This was the beginning of an old canal connecting the Nile River and the Red Sea over two thousand years ago, and it was at this strategic site that the earliest communities in the region built up. The river’s channel has shifted to the west, but this position is still marked by numerous notable historic sites, many of which date back to the Greco-Roman period when Egypt became a Christian nation.
According to archeological evidence, habitation in this location began before the sixth century BCE. At the mouth of the canal, which defined the border between Upper and Lower Egypt, a stronghold named Babylon was built around 525 BCE. Eventually, the Romans erected a much larger stronghold in the same location, which now acts as the basis for many of the sites that exist today.
The Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrassa is a large mosque and madrassa in Cairo’s old quarter. It was commissioned by Sultan an-Nasir Hasan and erected between 1356 and 1363 during the Bahri Mamluk dynasty.
The Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, also known as the Mosque of Amr, was erected in 641-642 AD as the core of Egypt’s newly created city, Fustat. The original edifice was the first mosque erected in Egypt and Africa.
