Never miss the most impressive structures ever made by the Pharaohs : the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Take a life-time tour to the massive Pyramids of Giza. See the Great Pyramid; the only wonder of the ancient world still standing, made up of more than two million stone blocks and weighs six million tons!
Take a camel across the Sahara (optional). The view is absolutely amazing.
Proceed to the enigmatic Sphinx, the man-headed lion guarding the Pyramids since the 3rd millennium BC. Go around the mysterious Valley Temple where king Chephren has been mummified. Here some of the blocks weigh up to 400 tons!(How on earth did you move them?!!!).
Head to Saqqara, Egypt's largest necropolis and see the Step Pyramid - the oldest structure made of dressed stone. It's simply 4800 years old.
Visit Memphis and see the Colossus of king Ramses. This gigantic statue, carved out of polished limestone, is ten meters high and weighs about 70 tons. It's made of one single block. |
