DAY 4, Friday, Feb 19th, 2027 - The Pyramids & Sphinx of Giza
Today, visit the Pyramids of Giza, built during the 4th dynasty of the Old Kingdom. These monumental undertakings stand as a marvelous testimony to the almost unbelievable skill and determination of their builders. Get a close-up view of the Great Pyramid, built for the pharaoh Khufu, as well as the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure.
Not too far from the Pyramids, see the great Sphinx of Giza, the legendary statue with the head of a human and the body of a lion, amazingly carved out of one large piece of limestone.
Enjoy leisure time this afternoon, or join the optional tour to Sakkara Pyramids with lunch. In Sakkara, site of hundreds of tombs, view the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser. Next, visit a carpet school before heading back.
