The number one activity in Cairo is by far the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. Dated almost 5000 years ago, these monuments and their great
Conservation states are one of the greatest things you can experience with the naked eye. Located in the Giza Complex on the west side of the Nile River banks, the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx are Cairo’s best-kept treasures. It has many tombs.

lunch will be served at one of the best Cairo restaurant

Sakkara

the first pyramid ever built. Djoser Pyramid. Then, move to Memphis; Old Kingdom’s capital and famous Necropolis. Djoser’s Step Pyramid at Saqqara is one of the most important archeological sites in all of Egypt. While it may not be as impressive or as famous as the Giza Pyramids, this structure predates them, and it is vital to archeologists’
understanding of the development of pyramid construction. The Step Pyramid was built in the 27th century BC, during the 3rd dynasty rule of Djoser. It is the first pyramid built in Egypt and while it is not a ‘true pyramid’ with smooth sides, like those at Giza and Dahshur,
it remains an important stepping stone in their development. It is also the first large-scale cut-stone structure in the world.
The structure consists of six distinct layers, or steps, of diminishing size built on top of one another. Archeologists understand this to be an embellishment
of earlier practices where pharaohs were buried under a mastaba, a flat rectangular structure somewhat like a large grave covering.
Djoser’s builders decided to stack several of these structures to create a more imposing monument to the pharaoh, creating the structure we see today that stands 203 feet tall. In doing so, they took the first step toward the creation of the pyramids that have made Ancient Egypt famous throughout the ages.
Optional visit to Solar Boat, Sakkara Complex, Djoser Pyramid,
Memphis

The oldest structures in Cairo date back only to the last couple of centuries BC during the Greco-Roman period; however, on the fringes of the city stand the Giza Pyramids, some of the oldest structures on Earth. Despite their proximity to Cairo,
the difference in age between the pyramids and the city itself are proof of their different histories. The pyramids at Giza and elsewhere in the desert near Cairo are a part of the legacy of an older city and civilization that fell into decline long before Cairo was founded. This civilization named this area Memphis, which was the seat of power to the Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BC) of Ancient Egypt, home to the pharaohs that raised the pyramids.

This beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt.

The reconstruction at the current site was carefully completed, painstakingly preserving the original appearance and layout of the complex and even landscaping the island to match its former location.
High Dam

When construction began on the High Dam in 1960, it was the most heralded part of President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s effort to develop Egypt for all Egyptians. While the dam is certainly not the largest in the world, it is an impressive engineering feat nonetheless, over 360 feet tall and 12,500 feet across. The dam was completed in 1971 and the huge reservoir behind it, named for President Nasser, finished filling in 1979.
