Pyramids Of Cairo

OVERVIEW

Exult in Egypt’s most indelible wonders, the Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage site, then examine the regal Great Sphinx and the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Contemplate the singular vision of the pharaoh Cheops, as well as the sacrifice of thousands who labored to place each colossal stone. You’ll encounter the eternal guardian of this ancient mortuary complex, the monumental Great Sphinx, carved from a single piece of bedrock into the shape of a lion with a human head. You’ll relish a chance to shop during a visit to the edifying Papyrus Institute, where traditional paper-making techniques are displayed. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, a satisfying conclusion to your survey of ancient Egypt’s extraordinary monuments and traditions.
