Giza Pyramids and Dahshour (L)
We’ll motor to the edge of Cairo, to the mysterious Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza. The museum of the Royal Barge of Cheops is built over the rectangular pit that housed the Royal Barge for thousands of years, the wooden boat was readied for the king’s daily journey with the sun god, Ra. Discovered in 1954, in a completely dismantled state, the 43-metre (140-foot) cedar boat is a rare window on the Royal boats used by the kings of Ancient Egypt.
Those who are fit and adventurous enough may wish to penetrate into the heart of the Great Pyramid, to the King’s Chamber. Your ticket is included with our compliments (or the interior of Kephren Pyramid). Taking a camel ride (included) is entirely your own choice!
Continue to Dahshour, the newly-opened pyramid field south of Cairo. We visit the great pyramid of Senfru, father of Cheops, and other structure:
The “Discovery” of Dahshour
For almost half a century, the great field of huge pyramids near the desert village of Dahshour, 25 miles south of Cairo, has been off limits to the public. Confined within the perimeter of a military base were many pyramids, including the great 4500-year-old pyramid built by Senfru, father of Cheops. Senfru’s pyramid, the largest in Egypt until his son built Giza’s Great Pyramid, is rhomboidal in shape: it tapers more distinctly on its upper half. All the pyramids were coated in thick plaster at one time. Most have lost these protective, decorative sheaths, but Senfru’s–miraculously–is still in place. We’ll take our lunch at a local restaurant El Khan (or Lunch will be in Azhar Park overlooking the Citadel). Transfer back to the pier. Bon Voyage.

Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
It is the one and only wonder which does not require a description by early historians and poets. It also does not need speculations concerning its appearance, size, and shape. It is the oldest, yet it is the only survivor of the Seven Ancient Wonders. It is the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The great pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20 year period. The site was first prepared and then blocks of stone were transported and placed. One theory on how the pyramid was built involves the construction of a straight or spiral ramp that was raised as the building proceeded. This ramp, coated with mud and water, eased the displacement of the blocks which were pushed (or pulled) into place. A second theory suggests that the blocks were placed using long levers with a short angled foot.
