Flights

Day 1: Arrive in Cairo

Day 2: Pyramids of Giza

The image shows the Great Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre under a clear blue sky. The Sphinx, a limestone statue with a lion's body and a human head, stands in front of the ancient pyramid, surrounded by ruins and desert terrain—a timeless scene anticipating your 2024 departures.

Our destination today: the wondrous Pyramids of Giza. Built during the Third and Fourth Dynasties, these monuments stand as testimony to the skill and strength of their builders. We'll get up close to study the Great Pyramid, as well as see the Pyramids of Khefren and Mycerinus in the distance. Nearby, we’ll gaze at the mythical Sphinx of Giza, which famously combines a reclining lion with the head of an Egyptian king. After these amazing sights, we'll lunch like the Egyptians do at a local Cairo restaurant.
