Itinerary

"You will be transferred via an air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo, a scenic drive of 3 hours, with a stop if needed to rest. Our Egyptologist guide will set the stage for an extraordinary private trip to the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Your first stop is the Pyramid of Cheops, the largest pyramid in the Giza Plateau—and the world. Here you will get the opportunity to live an Indiana Jones–like quest by getting inside the body of the Great Pyramid with an optional ticket that grants you access inside."

"Next, stand before the majestic Pyramid of Chephren, the second tallest of the Giza Pyramids and the only one still retaining part of its original casing at the summit. Accompanied by your private guide, you'll explore the surrounding ruins, and gain deep insight into the power and legacy of King Khafre."

"Next, discover the Pyramid of Mykerinos, the smallest of the three pyramids yet rich in mystery and architectural precision. With your private Egyptologist, explore its unique structure and astonishing red granite casing, learn about King Menkaure's legacy, and enjoy a deeper look into ancient royal symbolism."

The temple, thought to date back to the reign of King Chephren, is identical to Latin American ancient temples, sparking theories of lost technologies and mysterious building methods.

Pyramid tour

The actual visit to the Pyramids was excellent. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. The journey from Alexandria is about 3 hrs., we had a private tour, our driver did not speak English, makes the drive a bit long. Of course there are many people at the Pyramid site but our guide knew where to take us to avoid crowds. We had the obligatory camel ride, that was fun but the vendor got a bit aggressive as far as a tip at the end of the ride until our guide straightened him out. One thing to watch out for is the trip to the "parchment" shop at the end of the tour where you are supposedly going to see how parchment was made in early times, its really a catch to try an sell you a parchment, the vendor gets a bit pushy until we just up and left. In all a good trip with a few aggravations. Be ready to do quite a bit of walking.
