The day starts at 9am, when a personal Egyptologist guide picks you up from your hotel for a short trip to Giza in an air-conditioned minivan. Here, the guide will explain the history of ancient Egypt and share stories of the pharaohs buried in these iconic tombs. You’ll ascend to the entrance of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. For an additional fee, the guide can arrange for you to enter the pyramid.

Next, you’ll visit the pits where the solar boats were unearthed. These boats were designed to carry the departed pharaoh across the sky on his journey to eternity and the sun god Ra. Admire Khufu’s solar boat in the Solar Boat Museum. Venture into the desert for a panoramic view of all three pyramids – perfect for selfies! – before enjoying a 25-minute camel ride across the sands.

Your next stop is Egypt’s most famous guardian, the 65-foot (20-meter) tall Sphinx. After viewing the Valley Temple, built for the funeral of King Khafre, enjoy a simple Egyptian lunch of foul (stewed fava beans) or kushary (rice, noodles, lentils, and tomato) before returning to your hotel around 1pm.
