Go to Giza Plateau
Enjoying the pyramids of Giza with a very knowledgeable Egyptologist tour guide, going out of the beaten routes, feeling the atmospheric scenes of the vast Egyptian desert one day was the site chosen to be the house of eternity for their LORDS; the pharaohs. Why did they choose this particular spot from the endless sandy desert? Going around them, seeing how massive they are, would arise many questions such as ; Why, when, and how. These complicated questions and more will fade away after this tour. The Great Sphinx, the guardian of the royal necropolis, the crouching lion, is the one of the enigmatics to see there! Go to panoramic view, enjoy them in a row, surrounded by desert they are as they have always been. You, the Egyptian desert, camels and pyramids in the background! A childhood dream coming real!

Local lunch time ! Various delicious Egyptian food Places to be optionally offered (on demands).
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization
Heading to the National Museum of the Egyptian Civilization where you will have a panoramic view over the Egyptian civilization from pre-historic eras to the modern-day Egypt. Artifacts that specify each period are to be shown, for the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. Tracing the history of Egypt, we will come to the Greco-Roman era, the Coptic era, the Islamic one, and then to the modern day Egypt. The most important, the icon, or you can put it as the gem of this Museum is the unique experience that is to be provided to you when you go to the underground section, with so little light to see the mummies of the legendary pharaohs, those once where viewed as gods for their good deeds to their subjects, etc...... words fail me !
The museum is air-conditioned place, so we let it be done in the hottest time of the day!
Shopping area
