Lite Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum
Description
We will drive to Giza Plateau to explore the great pyramids, the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. The largest of the three pyramids, which belongs to Khufu, is a marvel of engineering from the 3rd millennium BC, the Old Kingdom period. His son, Khafre's pyramid, on a nearby site, appears taller than his father's, but this is an illusion, because it was built on a higher ground. Khafre's son, Menkaura's pyramid is less than half the height of his grandfather, Khufu's pyramid. Along with his pyramid, Khafre built the Great Sphinx as a part of his complex, that represents Ra-Harakhte, the sun god, as he rises in the east. The face of the Sphinx is a portrait of Khafre. After exploring the three pyramids a visit to the incredible Egyptian Museum. Our guide will take us through a time tunnel back to the beginnings and development of the ancient Egypt. We will not, of course, leave the museum without seeing the renowned TUTANKHAMUN COLLECTION.

Excellent tour led by experienced and friendly guide Mario. We toured the pyramids, sphinx, rode camel and Grand Egyptian Museum. Mario also directed us to a very nice local Egyptian restaurant for lunch. It was very authentic and tasty. The van was air conditioned and the driver was professional and punctual. Overall this was a great experience for our family of five.
We had a fabulous family holiday with Travel Trend, Immaculate planning and everything that we needed (and more!) were met. Lovely tour guides who catered to our request and ensured our safety at all times. Went beyond their call of duty to ensure we are comfortable and we recommended them more! Amazing! We will be back again.
Egypt is often seen as an affordable travel destination, making it accessible to a wide range of travelers. Budget-friendly accommodations, transportation, and food options allow tourists to get good value for their money.

Dina was the best tour guide I have ever met. Very professional, with a great sense of humor and lots of knowledge. She made our experience unique. We learned so much about Egyptian history from her. 10/10
