• Enjoy buffet breakfast at the hotel and set off on a full day guided tour to discover one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Pyramids of Giza. Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus showcase extraordinary ancient engineering, each built with 2,300,000 blocks weighing an average of two and a half tonnes, a scale that continues to inspire awe even today. The Cheops Pyramid holds particular interest, as its interior burial chambers remain open for public viewing.
• A short distance away stands the Great Sphinx of Giza, dating back to Chephren's era around 2620 BC. Carved from yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet tall, it combines the face of a Pharaoh with the body of a lion. Before heading back, if time allows, there's an opportunity to visit a papyrus institute or a perfume shop. The tour of Pyramids wraps up with a drive back to the hotel to freshen up.

From the staircase, you enter the exhibition halls, arranged both chronologically and by theme, featuring multimedia and immersive displays that go beyond static viewing. Your tour offers a glimpse of the museum's most impressive artifacts, including statues, royal regalia, and ancient monuments, with your guide sharing insights along the way.
