The pyramids located in the Giza Necropolis date back to the Old Kingdom. Following that, we will explore the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple, built by King Chephren to safeguard his remains. You will also have the opportunity to take pictures at the Giza Scenic Plateau, and if you are interested, you can enjoy a 30-minute camel ride at Giza Plateau for an extra cost of 200 Egyptian pounds.

Once you've finished your lunch, you'll head to the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, one of the most extraordinary structures globally, located in Sakkara, the largest archaeological site in Egypt. This visit will provide insight into the construction of pyramids in ancient Egypt.

The Pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara, which dates back to the third dynasty, is celebrated as the oldest stone monument made by humans. Visitors can enjoy a sweeping view of the nearby Dahshur pyramids, such as the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid built by King Snefru, who was the father of King Cheops.
