Makadi Bay to Pyramids Day Trip by Plane

From your hotel in Makadi, our representative will drive you in the morning to Hurghada for your domestic flight to Cairo. Upon your arrival, you will start your Makadi Bay to Pyramids Day Trip by Plane to explore:

Giza Pyramids Complex:

The Giza Pyramid Complex on the outskirts of Cairo is one of the most impressive wonders of the ancient world. Dominated by the towering Great Pyramid of Khufu, the site also features the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, alongside smaller pyramids and temples dating back over 4,500 years.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

Built around 2560 BC for Pharaoh Khufu, this pyramid is the largest ever constructed in Egypt. It once gleamed with white limestone casing and includes the King’s Chamber, Queen’s Chamber, and subterranean passages. It stood as the tallest man-made structure on earth for more than 3,800 years.

The Great Sphinx:

The Sphinx, carved from a single limestone ridge, represents the body of a lion and the head of Pharaoh Khafre. Measuring 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height, it has guarded the Giza Plateau for millennia as a symbol of power and mystery.

The Valley Temple:

This well-preserved temple, built of limestone and granite, was used for purification and mummification rituals for Pharaoh Khafre. Located next to the Sphinx, it highlights the grandeur of Old Kingdom funerary practices.

You will then enjoy an authentic lunch at a deluxe restaurant before continuing your exploration to:

Step Pyramid of Saqqara:

Commissioned by Pharaoh Djoser in the 27th century BC, this six-tiered step pyramid was the first stone structure in history. Rising 63 meters above the desert plateau, it remains a masterpiece of early Egyptian innovation and architecture.

Memphis City:

Founded by King Narmer in 2925 BC, Memphis was Egypt’s first capital and a thriving religious and cultural hub dedicated to the god Ptah. It played a central role in unifying Upper and Lower Egypt and prospered for centuries as one of the greatest cities of the ancient world.

Finally, your guide will accompany you to Cairo Airport for your return flight to Hurghada. Upon arrival, you will be transferred by private vehicle back to your hotel in Makadi Bay to conclude our Pyramids Excursion from Makadi Bay by Flight.
