As early said that this tour is a 9-hour tour, which means all the sightseeing you are doing is in 9 hours, and this is why we have scheduled an early 8 am departure from the Mena House Hotel. 

From the hotel, you’d move straight to the Giza Necropolis to enjoy the glorious sights of some of the World famous archaeological sites in Giza of Egypt such as the Great Pyramid of Cheops  , the Pyramid of Khafre, and Pharaoh Menkuare. 

Other sites to enjoy around the Giza Pyramids are the Great Sphinx which is a mystical statue that features the body of a lion and the head of a human, and which most of the time is the head of an Egyptian ruler. 

Another site scheduled for you to visit on your Private Guided Day Tour   is the Valley Temple of Mummification that is also known as the Valley Temple of Khafre. This Valley Temple was erected to prepare (embalm and dry) the body (mummy) of an Egyptian King and to purify the body. 

After then, you will head to visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is the first Pyramid erected in the Third Dynasty and was erected to bury King Djoser. Other sites in Saqqara include the tomb of Kagemni where you learn much about daily life in Ancient Egypt and symbols such as Ankh . Then you explore the interior of the pyramid of Teti  with the Pyramid Texts on its walls.

This guided day tour includes other packages such as lunch, a 30 minutes ride on a camel, a drive in a private minivan that is Wi-Fi-enabled, and fully air-conditioned.

      Egypt sees a steady outflow of skilled professionals and students seeking opportunities abroad, while at the same time, it remains a destination for refugees, expatriates, and investors. In some cases, cultural and social factors also play a role, such as the increasing interest in international matchmaking services, where individuals from different countries seek life partners — like the growing trend of Russian ladies for marriage in the USA , driven by cultural curiosity and lifestyle preferences.
