Begin your adventure with a visit to the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Next, explore the Great Sphinx, a magnificent statue with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion, dating back to the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple associated with the Pyramids of Chephren.
Afterward, enjoy a relaxing 2-hour lunch cruise on the Nile, starting at 3:30 PM and concluding at 5:30 PM. This experience includes an hour of sailing, a sumptuous buffet lunch, and entertainment featuring folkloric shows and oriental music as you glide past Cairo's waterfront landmarks.
Before returning to Alexandria, you'll stop at a Papyrus Institute, where you can shop for souvenirs from Cairo and Egypt.
