6-Days Cairo and Hurghada Wheelchair Accessible Tour Package

After your open breakfast at the hotel this morning, meet with your tour guide for a day tour of Cairo to the Giza Pyramids, Dahshur, and Memphis.

Your Cairo excursions will start with the Colossus Giza pyramids, which are going to leave you in a daze at these megastructures fashioned out during the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt. Stupendous edifices like these were pointers to the great feats accomplished by powerful kings and rulers who built up ancient Egypt along with the life-giving Nile River some 4,500 years ago.

You will be able to admire the Great Pyramid of King Cheops, inspired by his father's work on grand burial tombs. More than 2.3 million limestone blocks went into the building of King Cheops' pyramid, designed as his eternal resting place from which he would rise into heaven. This amazing structure originally rose to a height of 146 meters, with each side 230 meters long.

From this high plateau, you will be able to view the three pyramids—Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus—extensively. Being the son of Cheops, Chephren made his a bit smaller out of respect for his father; it is 136 meters in height, with the remains of its outer casing still partially extant at the top.

You will also get to see the Great Sphinx of Giza, which has a lion-shaped body with a human head, speculated by many to be ordered by King Chephren himself since it is located in his pyramid complex. You will enter the Valley Temple where the king was mummified for his burial.

Your Cairo tour will continue to the site of the oldest capital of Egypt, the ancient city of Memphis, now known as Mit Rahina. You will take a stroll around the outdoor museum, which houses the world's second-biggest alabaster sphinx and the gigantic statue of King Ramses II, the strongest monarch of the New Kingdom Period.

Stop at the Dahshur Archaeological Site to view two of the four pyramids constructed for King Snefru—founder of the Fourth Dynasty and father of King Cheops. Of these, only the Bent Pyramid retains a fair quantity of its outer casing material, and it is, beyond doubt, one of the most magnificent pyramids in Egypt. The Red Pyramid, named due to the reddish hue of its limestone blocks, was the first perfectly shaped pyramid in the history of Egypt.

At the end of your tour, you will be treated to a gastronomic lunch at a nice overlooking restaurant of the Giza Pyramids, then you will be transferred back to your hotel.
