DAY 2 CAIRO

Breakfast at the hotel. Full day tour to visit the Pyramids, Sphinx, and the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). The Pyramids and Sphinx were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the seven wonders of the world. A single pyramid is built of 2,300,000 blocks, each weighing an average of two and one–half tons. In the face of such immensity, one cannot help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers and artists have sought to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for inspection by the public. Not far from the pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chephren (2620BC). Hewn from natural yellowish limestone and standing 65 feet high and 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion’s body. The new Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum in the world, offers an unparalleled journey through Egypt’s ancient history, housing over 100,000 artifacts. With its state-of-the-art design and immersive exhibits, it’s a must-visit for those eager to experience the wonders of Egypt’s rich heritage in a modern, world-class setting. Back to hotel.
