Pyramids Tour from Soma Bay

You will leave your hotel in Soma Bay and go to the airport in Hurghada to catch a plane to Cairo, where you will meet your tour guide. You will then immediately start your private day trip from Soma to the Pyramids by going to:

Giza Pyramids Complex

The Giza Pyramids Complex, which primarily consists of the three great pyramids, the valley temple, and the Sphinx, is a piece of a mystery that defies the laws of nature because it has endured for more than 4500 years to serve as a fundamental illustration of the strength and architectural prowess of the ancient Egyptians.

The Great Pyramid

A huge once-in-a-lifetime structure was built in the prehistoric era of 2580 BC to serve as King Khufu’s final burial place and reach all the way to the skies. With the assistance of more than 100,000 laborers and 2.3 million limestone blocks, Khufu’s Vizer Heminuu created the Great Pyramid, which stands at 146.7 m (481 ft) tall. It is the only structure from the fabled Seven Wonders of the World that is still standing.

The Great Sphinx

The sphinx, which is 19 meters (66 feet) wide and 73 meters (240 feet) tall and has the full physical appearance of a lion and the face of a man featured in the sitting position since the day of the old kingdom or even earlier, is one of the oldest symbols and statues in the world. It is situated in front of the great pyramid of Khafre.

The Valley Temple

The ancient Egyptians executed the mummification procedure on the dead bodies of the old kingdom’s pharaohs in order to prepare them for the afterlife.

After lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo, you’ll continue on with your private day excursion from Soma Bay to the Pyramids:

Saqqara Step Pyramid

Everything began with Imhotep’s masterpiece, which ushered in the era of pyramid building. The Saqqara Step Pyramid was built to house the tomb of Pharaoh Djoser and featured a unique design with six steps that were 62 meters high and a mega-complex that later structures like the Great Pyramids Complex adopted.

Memphis City

Memphis city was designated the nation’s first official capital in 2925 BC to honor Ptah, the god of craftsmanship and art after King Menes had united Egypt. Ancient people referred to it as the big “Hut Ka Ptah,” which is where the word “Egypt” originates from after being translated into Greek as “Ai Gy Ptos.”

You’ll return to the Cairo airport at the conclusion of the day, catch a flight to Hurghada, and then return immediately to your hotel in Soma Bay.
