Itinerary
-
Explore the ancient Pyramids of Giza
- Get picked up by your Egypt tour representative from your hotel in Cairo and start the Cairo and Giza Tours.

- Then, proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, which dates back to the time of Chephren.
- Pay a visit to the Valley Temple, which belongs to the pyramids of Chephren. This temple served two functions: First, it was used for the purification of the mummy of the king before its burial. Second, it was used for making the Mummification process of the king.

You can find the typical tourist trinkets here, but don't let them distract you from the fine shopping to be found here.
