After breakfast, meet your Egyptologist and transfer to Giza plateau. You begin the full day's sightseeing to explore Egypt's most iconic image—the Pyramids—including the 4,600-years-old Great Pyramid, of the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built for the Egyptian King Khufu, it was the world's tallest man-made structure for more than 4,600 years. A staggering architectural achievement for any age, Khufu's Pyramid rises 480 feet from the desert sands and comprises more than two million stone blocks—some weighing as much as 90 tons. Walk up to the top of the Giza plateau to marvel at the sight of the three great pyramids: Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khafra), and Mykerinos (Menkaure). While we gaze at its grandeur, we can begin to understand why construction methods used by the Egyptians to build this ancient architectural wonder are debated to this day. We can ponder another mystery for the ages at the Sphinx, the enigmatic guardian of the Giza Plateau. Dated to about 2,500 B.C., the carved lion with outstretched paws and the head of a king in ancient Egypt's earliest known monumental sculpture. Lunch at a nearby restaurant. After lunch, travel to Saqqara to tour the first stone structure ever built, King Zoser's famous Step pyramid, built a century before the Great Pyramid; Saqqara expanded to cover 3.7 miles from north to south 1 mile from east to west. As such, it is one of the largest and most important areas of ancient Egypt. Here you will also find the elaborate tombs of the Nobles featuring the multi-chromatic Hieroglyphs, and some have 32 chambers with scenes on the walls depicting ancient daily life from hunting in the marshes to listening to musicians play the Harp end the tour with the mysterious sarabium-puzzle.

According to the myth, Hours, who fought one of the great combats with Seth here, presented as a flying falcon in human form ahead of the falcon or the winged sun disk. The Temple of Horus at Edfu is the most complete and best-preserved ever; the reason is that the Temple had been submerged under the desert except for the very top of the pylon entrance. A small amount of stone had been removed from the exposed part, but it was found to be in near-perfect conditions when excavated.
After breakfast, we visit Kom Ombo, a riverside town surrounded by sugar cane fields, home to Egypt's only double Temple shared by two Gods, Sobek and Haroeris. That is.
