Itinerary

The Giza Plateau is only around 30 minutes

The Giza Plateau is only around 30 minutes from Cairo where your qualified Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre, and Menakaure. You will have free time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), though your guide is not permitted to enter with you or take a camel ride (additional cost).

Returning to the boat, you will sail between the three islands and stop for around one hour of snorkeling. Returning to Giftun Island at around 1:00 pm. Lunch will be served at one of the restaurants and then you have free time to further explore the island before returning to the boat at 3:30 pm.

After visiting the pyramids you'll continue across the plateau

After visiting the pyramids you'll continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands with the Cairo skyline in the background. A short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, for thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of Egypt. Also in Giza, you may visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional) home to the remarkably well-preserved funerary boat of Khufu.

Your next stop is Sakkara home to Egypt's oldest pyramid

Your next stop is Sakkara home to Egypt's oldest pyramid, built-in 2650 B.C. Your guide will provide a brief history of the famous Step Pyramid and you'll have free time to walk around.

Your final stop is Memphis the ancient capital of Egypt. Here you will see artifacts from many of the great rulers of Egypt including the fallen statue of Ramses II. You will also have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how the famous artwork is made.
