Meals: Dinner. Overnight: 5-star hotel, Cairo.
Day 2: The Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx
After breakfast your guide meets you in the lobby. At the Giza Plateau you see the Great Pyramid of Khufu, built over some 20 years around 2560 BC and the largest pyramid ever made, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the Sphinx, with the head of Khafre on the body of a lion. Your driver can bring you close to each viewpoint, so there is little walking on sand. Lunch is at a restaurant with a view of the pyramids.
