• At 8.00 am, after breakfast, our tour guide will wait for you in front of the
  hotel and you will go with him to the Giza Plateau where you are about to
  visit the impressive 3 Pyramids of Giza built by kings Cheops, Chephren
  and Mikerinos which are guarded by the rock-cut statue – the Great
  Sphinx.
  The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the only wonder of the seven wonders
  of the ancient world that is still standing today, despite being 2,000 years
  older than any other wonder on the list.
  After experiencing the pyramids you will go on a 20 minute Camel
  Ride around the Pyramids.
  The next stop will be the Complex of Saqqara which belongs to King
  Djoser and his step pyramid which is considered the first pyramid in Egypt
  and the first rock-cut building in history.
  After that you will be heading to Dahshur.
  The pyramid field of Dahshur lies about 10 km south of Saqqara and it
  includes the famous Bent and Red Pyramids built by the 4th Dynasty
  king Sneferu (father of Khufu – the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza).
  The Bent Pyramid is the second funerary monument of King Sneferu
  after the Meidum Pyramid.
  The reason for its shape is that it was originally designed to rise at the angle of
  52° but was later decreased to 43.5° partway up. They’ve also built a girdle
  around the base because the foundations were unstable and the angle was too
  steep.
  The Red Pyramid, Sneferu’s third funerary monument, is the first
  successful true (straight-sided) pyramid ever built. It’s called the red pyramid
  because of the reddish color of the stones used in its construction.

and Roman artistic traditions. People are buried here in sarcophagi, in shelves
and in urns of ashes after cremation.
