It's your first encounter with Egyptians and your first look at Cairo's streets. That makes you want to explore these streets further and interact with more Egyptians. Meanwhile, learn more about them, their culture, and their traditions.

- Day Day 2
Giza pyramids and Egyptian Museum
Day Tour to Giza and Cairo
First and foremost, have breakfast at your hotel. After that, get ready for the first day of thousands of years of exploration. You'll travel across the eras in the birthplace of civilization and experience a different time period.
Second, prepare to walk over historical sand that has witnessed enormous ancient history. Meet majestic historical figures in front of stunning masterpieces from thousands of years ago. Similarly, reveal a fascinating history about an amazing culture.
Stop inquiring about the pharaonic culture and previous generations from afar; instead, meet your Egyptologist and take in the day's fascinating history. Your own Egyptologist drives you to Giza in a luxurious private A/C automobile.
Visit Giza Three Great Pyramids
Allow the surroundings to captivate your senses and your spirit. This panorama of the Giza pyramids makes you feel as if vast history is calling you from afar.
Your first encounter with the pharaohs will take place on the Giza Pyramids Plateau. The ancient Egyptians from the old kingdom had a vision of establishing greatness to narrate the pharaonic civilization's grandeur for you.
As a result, on this sand, where your feet are now, they had transported these big stones that had been laid in the same shape thousands of years ago to mimic the Cairo sky. Don't spend all of your time admiring the colossal pyramid of Khufu, a survivor of a world wonder. Chefren Pyramid and King Menkaure Pyramid are two more magnificent pyramids that await you.
Similarly, more than six pyramids reserved for the queens await your arrival. You also have the option of walking into one of them and exploring it.
Take advantage of the opportunity. Explore pharaonic tombs, where the rulers of the pharaohs were interred beside their burial relics. In the Chefren Valley Temple, learn about one of the most important pharaonic funeral rituals.
Visit The Great Sphinx
Thousands of years ago, a pharaonic sculpture stood as a guardian of the pyramids. It possesses a strong, unbreakable body in the shape of a lion. And it takes a lot of foresight on the part of the human head to guard these regal tombs. It is the magnificent Sphinx Statue.
These incredible memories will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time. In Panorama Pyramids, enjoy and savour every moment of photographing the three major pyramids, six queens' pyramids, and the Sphinx.
Take a break for lunch, then prepare to explore through a brilliant treasure trove that shines brightly at every turn in a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece.
Visit The Egyptian Museum
Get going; you'll come across a pyramid-shaped structure. At the entrance, a massive statue of Ramses II greets you; go ahead and find the entire collection of Tut's gleaming wealth. After that, finish your visit at the Egyptian Museum, which houses over 100,000 rare Pharaonic artefacts.

Breakfast will be served at the hotel, and you will be introduced to your Egyptologist. He or she will lead you to the site where the ancient Egyptians considered building a pyramidal tomb. Proceed to the first building in history to be built in the shape of a pyramid. The Bent Pyramid is what it's called. The 1st theory of the ancient Egyptians about how to build a pyramid can be seen there. And what a blunder they'd made with this theory. The Red Pyramid is in front of you. You can see how they repair the error there. As you can see, this is history's first accurate pyramid.
Visit Dahshur Red and Bent pyramids
At Dahshour District, the history of the old monarchy runs towards your gaze in this manner. Then make your way to the ancient Egyptian civilization's first capital. You're wandering in the embrace of Egypt's Early Dynastic Period (3150-2613 BCE) and the Old Kingdom (2613-2181 BCE). This massive open-air museum is Memphis's capital.
Visit The Step Pyramid of Djoser
Rest and eat your lunch meal to round out your adventure through the world of ancient Egyptian architecture. Proceed to the location where the ancient Egyptians considered building a structure out of limestone. The Saqqara pyramid is where you'll find stairs that resemble pyramids and can be used as a tomb. The tombs were one step before Djoser Pyramid, and you can observe that there as well. Inside Sarabium Saqqara, you'll come across 26 pharaonic Mastabas tombs.
That is how today's storey depicts how the pharaonic tombs began as a single-step tomb, then evolved into a multi-step tomb utilising limestone. Finally, the principle of pyramid construction emerged and progressed to the solitary survival of the ancient world's wonders, the Khufu Pyramid.
