No visit to Cairo is complete without seeing the majesty of the Great
Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. With youregypttours.com own private
Egyptologist guide to lead the way, you'll enjoy personalized
attention on your private tour of these famous symbols of Egypt's
ancient civilization. As this is a private tour, you can determine the
amount of time you'd like to spend at each of the sites you'll visit.
On the Giza plateau, the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx date back over
3,000 years. While there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, the
Pyramids of Giza are by far the most famous and are the last of the
original Seven Wonders of the World. Your qualified Egyptologist guide
will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids:
Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure. You will have free time to enter one of
the pyramids (additional cost), although your guide is not permitted
to enter with you. After visiting the pyramids, you'll then continue
across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids
rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background. A
short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the
feet of the Sphinx, for thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of
Egypt. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a king, and
is surrounded in mystery, including the unanswered questions: who
built it and why. In addition you will have the chance to visit a
Papyrus Institute to see how this famous artwork is made. If you do
not want to include this visit, just inform your guide on the day.
