Fly from Luxor to Egypt’s capital city to see the magical Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza and discover the history of Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum.
The world’s oldest tourist attraction, the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza remain the most visited site in Egypt and when you see these imposing stone structures up close, it is not difficult to see why – especially when you consider they were erected nearly 5000 years ago and contain millions of blocks of limestone. Your experience will be enhanced by your expert guide who will provide a fascinating insight to the history of this magical site. Whilst admiring these ancient treasures, look out for the bewitching figure of the Sphinx. Carved from a single block of limestone, the half-human, half-lion statue stands guard over the tombs.
After lunch, continue to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to see the world’s greatest collection of Egyptian artefacts including the legendary haul from the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Over 120,000 artefacts are on display including huge statues of the pharaohs and the gods they worshipped, jewels, scrolls of papyrus, coffins inlaid with semi-precious stones and ancient mummified remains. Although it would take months to admire each and every relic, your expert guide will help you discover some of the most famous objects including Tuthankhamun’s world famous solid gold funerary mask.
