You will be driven from our Makadi hotel to the airport in Hurghada, where you will board your aircraft to Cairo and meet your tour guide, who will accompany you on your exclusive day trip to the Pyramids.
Giza Pyramids Complex
The Giza complex, which includes the huge sphinx, the first official city of Memphis, the valley temple, and three main pyramids for each pharaoh, provides a spectacular entrée to more than four thousand years of art, beauty, and knowledge.
The Great Pyramid
Your trip to the Pyramids from Makadi Bay brings you one step closer to the last remaining example of one of the legendary seven wonders of the ancient world, which was built in 2580 BC in just 20 years using 2,300,000 pieces of limestone and stands 147 m (481 ft) tall with a fascinatingly intricate interior.
The Great Sphinx
Its dimensions are 73 meters (240 feet) high by 19 meters (66 feet) broad, and it resembles the mythological heavenly being known as the sphinx, which has the body of a lion and the head of a man said to be King Khafre.
The Valley Temple
During the Old Kingdom of Egypt (2686–2134 BC), Egypt became the primary location for mummification. The valley’s extremely well-preserved ancient Egyptian burial customs and artifacts can be explored during a Makadi Bay excursion.
Following a delightful lunch at a restaurant with a view of a pyramid, you will continue your Makadi Bay excursion to the Pyramids by air in a full-day tour by visiting:
Saqqara Step Pyramid
The vizier of Pharaoh Djoser “Imhotep” created the Saqqara Step Pyramid, which has six steps rising to a height of 62 meters and is surrounded by a magnificent complex with amazing ceremonial features. Your ticket to experience the age of the pyramids, whose structures lasted for more than 500 years in the former kingdom, is your Makadi Bay excursion.
Memphis City
You are invited to see the earliest recognized capital of ancient Egypt, established by Pharaoh Menes in 2925 BC, as part of your Makadi Bay Tour to the Pyramids. It is home to the enormous temple known as the Enclosure of the Ka of Ptah, or “Ai-Gy-Ptos” in Greek, which is where the word “Egypt” originated.
You will go to the Cairo airport to board your trip to Hurghada and then take a shuttle back to your Makadi Bay hotel.
