You will view the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most famed of all Egypt's pyramids, while your expert guide shares his thoughts on construction and history engineering with which it was built, and how it still stands after more than 4500 years. Then you will visit the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, which each match in merit to be visited because each has unique architectural characteristics.
Moving on to the Great Sphinx-an enigmatic statue carved out of limestone, with the body of a lion and face of a pharaoh-hear your guide tell about the tales and secrets surrounding this ancient guardian of the pyramids as you stand in wonder at its majesty. Another visit is made to the Valley Temple which was believed to have been for purification before the burial of pharaohs.
After interesting sightseeing at Giza, have your lunch in a local restaurant serving good traditional Egyptian meals.
Next, we will visit Saqqara, which is one of the biggest archaeological sites in Egypt, and here you will go to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first large stone structure in the world. It was erected sometime during the 27th century BCE and up to that date changed completely the whole idea of pyramid construction paving the road to new types of pyramids that would follow thereafter.
The other tombs in Saqqara have elaborate carvings and bright paintings depicting everyday life and belief systems of ancient Egyptians. You might also be able to visit the Pyramid of Teti which has pyramid texts, an interesting sight to behold, time permitting.
The sun is making a downward journey and will soon end, leaving plenty of time for the return to Port Said, sweetened by memories of Egypt's wonders.

The expression "Packed with a multitude of exhibitions-from ancient statues to jewels and regal riches, mummies, and other artifacts artfully preserved from all sorts of different dynasties" denotes the sight. The Tutankhamun Galleries contain treasures of astounding aesthetic value-the fabulous golden mask and a range of jewelry and funerary objects from the tomb of the young pharaoh in the Valley of Kings. As the tour begins, the guide delivers insights, which, to a good degree, give illumination to the life of the pharaohs of Egypt also impacts the relics in their own processes of existence.
After an overwhelming step through the ages of Egyptian history, find a place flavor-wrapped in and have yourself a marvelous lunch in a bona fide restaurant serving key examples of ancient traditional Egyptian gastronomic fare.
Grand Saladin fortress on Mokattam Hill caps a history-filled day with an enchanting view above Cairo. The Citadel was constructed in the 12th century by Sultan Saladin to fend off Crusader incursions in the city and reportedly is full of mythological stories.
Within the Citadel, visitors will marvel at the Mohammed Ali Mosque or Alabaster Mosque, elaborately covered in pure white limestone on the outside.
This symbol of Ottoman architecture has massive domes, slender minarets, and inside walls draped in fine ornaments a la Blue Mosque, Istanbul. Your guide will weave Arthurian tales and history on and about Mohamed Ali, Egypt's driving figure.
If time allows, some parts of the palace include the Military Museum and ancient gates that one can visit, which will give a glimpse of Cairo's medieval history.
The exploration day draws to a close, bringing back beautiful memories from the magnificent heritage and landmarks of Egypt stored in your mind.
