Your thrilling Egyptian adventure begins when you meet your driver and guide at the pier for the scenic drive to Cairo. Travel through a dramatic landscape of unrelenting sand and scrub, before arriving at Giza, to discover The Great Pyramids. The largest, the Great Pyramid of Cheops, was built out of 2,300,000 limestone blocks, each weighing an incredible two and a half tons. View the Pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus, and if time permits, explore their mystical narrow interiors. Enjoy a stunning photo opportunity at The Sphinx, which bears the body of a reclining lion, and is thought to bear the likeness of the Pharaoh Chephren, before browsing the lively souvenir shops. Feast on a buffet style lunch at a local hotel before touring the Egyptian Museum Of Antiquities, which houses more than 120,000 objects. The star attraction are the treasures of King Tutankhamen, and his striking Gold Mask.
