What to expect
Start your tour from Hurghada heading to Cairo
Abdeen Palace signifies the beginning of modern Cairo, a city brought to life by Khedive Ismail's vision to transform it into a European-inspired capital. His orders led to the creation of expansive squares, wide streets, elegant palaces, bridges spanning the Nile, and lush gardens filled with trees and rare palms. The palace was commissioned by Khedive Ismail after his ascension to the throne in 1863, with construction taking a decade to complete. It is named after Sultan Abidin Bey, a military leader under Mohamed Ali, who once owned a mansion on the site. Khedive Ismail purchased the property from the widow of the military leader and later constructed the Saray on the land, expanding it to include the surrounding grounds.
Pyramids of Egypt
The Giza Pyramid Complex, also known as the Giza Necropolis, is located on the Giza Plateau in Egypt. It is home to the Great Pyramid of Giza, along with the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, their surrounding complexes, and the iconic Great Sphinx. These monumental structures were constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt’s Old Kingdom. The site also includes several ancient cemeteries and the remnants of a village that once served as housing for the workers who built the pyramids.
The Great Sphinx of Giza, often referred to simply as the Sphinx, is a limestone statue depicting a reclining sphinx—an iconic mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. It faces east and stands on the Giza Plateau, on the west bank of the Nile River in Giza, Egypt.
Papyrus, an early precursor to the book, is thought to have originated in Egypt as early as the First Dynasty. It was crafted from the papyrus plant, which once thrived along the banks of the Nile River.
