You can't start a tour of amazing Egypt without a visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza!
These three phenomenal pyramids served as monumental burial sites where the Ancient Egyptian kings were buried. You will have the option to enter the biggest and most famous - the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
We'll take a brief Camel Ride in front of the Pyramids with individual and group portraits! After, we will visit the Great Sphinx.
We will enjoy lunch in an authentic restaurant overlooking the pyramids, The Nine Pyramids Lounge. This restaurant is the only restaurant inside the pyramid gates, and it is an incredible view. Get your camera ready!
After lunch , we will head to the Papyrus Institute to learn how Papyrus is created and used for paintings. We will then go to the perfumery and glass-blowing shop to try different scents and see how they create glass-blown bottles and artwork. They can create a custom scent for you (and sometimes even duplicate your favorite perfume from home!)
For dinner, we will enjoy a meal by the pyramids before heading back to the hotel.
