Day 2: Pyramids of Giza & Saqqara

Embark on a journey today to explore the last remaining ancient wonder of the world—the awe-inspiring Pyramids at Giza Plateau. Marvel at the grandeur of Cheops (Khufu), the largest of the three great pyramids, constructed from over 2.5 million limestone blocks over a span of more than 20 years. The other two pyramids, Chephren and Mycerinus, are equally breathtaking, creating a spectacle best experienced in person.

Next, venture to Memphis, where the colossal statue of Ramses II awaits your admiration. Following this, immerse yourself in the tomb-laden necropolis of Saqqara, home to King Zhoser's Step Pyramid. Erected by Imhotep, the pharaoh's chief architect, around 2700 BC, this pyramid served as the prototype for all future pyramid constructions.
