Upon your ship's arrival at the charming port of Alexandria, a professional representative from Coralon Travel will be waiting for you at Gate 10 to transport you to the Giza Plateau in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. An expert and licensed tour guide will be waiting for you to accompany you during this amazing tour. You will be amazed by the three pyramids—Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure—as you witness exceptional architecture whose secrets scientists have yet to unravel. Ancient Egyptians used the pyramids to precisely determine equinoxes and solstices, as well as to track time and geographic directions; the shadow cast by the pyramid's apex falls with remarkable accuracy onto specific markers and stone platforms, allowing for the determination of daylight hours and times of day with a precision exceeding that of standard sundials. You will see the magnificent Sphinx, which stands as a strong guardian of the Pyramids of Giza.
You will visit the magnificent Valley Temple of King Khafre—far more than just an ordinary tourist site. Archaeologists believe it was the setting for the King’s mummification rituals and the sacred "Opening of the Mouth" ceremony; a vital religious rite intended to restore the deceased's senses, enabling them to eat and breathe in the afterlife. We will stop at a local and beautiful restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch. We will transfer you to Saqqara, which is one of the most important and biggest cemeteries of ancient Memphis.
You will see the stunning Step Pyramid, which represents a dramatic transformation from the traditional rectangular mastaba into an impressive monumental stepped form. You will see the charming Kagemni's tomb, which features beautifully carved and many painted scenes of everyday life. You will see the unique Pyramid of Teti, the famous founder and first ruler of Egypt's Sixth Dynasty. Although much of the pyramid's stunning external structure has deteriorated, its beautiful underground chambers remain particularly significant.
At the end of this special tour, we will smoothly transfer you back to Alexandria Port.
