Trip By Road From Hurghada To Giza Pyramids And Egyptian Museum

We will pick you up from Your hotel in Hurghada or El Gouna and transfer you by an air conditioned coach to visit the best of Cairo (around 6 hours driving) to see the Pyramids of Kheops, Kephren and Mykerinos, which were named by the Greeks to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. The Great Pyramids consist of the Great Pyramid of Giza (known as the Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu), the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Chephren) a few hundred meters to the south-west, and the relatively modest-sized Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinos) a few hundred meters further south-west. The Great Sphinx lies on the east side of the complex. Current consensus among Egyptologists is that the head of the Great Sphinx is that of Khafre. Along with these major monuments are a number of smaller satellite edifices, known as "queens" pyramids, causeways and valley pyramids. The Giza pyramids have been recorded in the Giza Plateau Mapping Project run by the Ancient Egypt Research Associates, directed by Dr. Mark Lehner. In addition, Lehner's team undertook radiocarbon dating on material recovered from the exterior of the Great Pyramid. Next we will move on to the Egyptian Museum, which features artifacts from the Pharaonic period including the Celebrated Mummies of the ancient Egypt's kings and the treasures of the Child-King Tutankhamen. lunch en route in quality restaurant near by the Pyramids then proceed to Khan El Khalili bazar for a free shopping time before driving back to Hurghada.
