This is your life-time opportunity to see the most interesting architectural and engineering heritage of ancient Egypt. Take an unforgettable tour to the Giza Plateau, Saqqara and Memphis, see the best preserved pyramids in Egypt and learn how the Pharaohs mastered the art of building pyramids four thousand years ago.
At Giza you will see the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the only wonder of the ancient world still standing. This pyramid is made up of more than two million stone blocks weighing about six million tons!!! You also see the enigmatic Sphinx, the man-headed lion-god guarding the Pyramids since the third millenium BC. Your visit to the Pyramids is never complete unless you go across the Sahara desert by means of a camel. The view is absolutely amazing. And you will look like Lawrence of Arabia!
Have lunch in a local restaurant trying the Egyptian mouth-watering food such as teheeny, falafel, bittter bread, kufta, kebab and hummous. Local food is always part of the fun.
Proceed to Saqqara and see the Step Pyramid, Egypt's oldest pyramid. Made out of polished limestone, this pyramid is about 4800 years old. Housing about ten million blocks, it's considered Egypt's earliest strucure made of dressed stone. At Saqqara you have a good understanding of how the Egyptians got trained to construct pyramids two thousand years before Christ was born.
Head for Memphis, Egypt's oldest capital city. See another wonder; the gigantic Colossus of king Ramses the Great. Carved out of polished limestone, this towering statue is about ten meters high weighing some 70 tons. It's made out of one sing block !!!
