Episode 2: The Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum

Your first full day in Egypt takes you to the Giza Plateau, where the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure rise above the desert — already ancient when Tutankhamun lived. Stand before the Great Sphinx, guardian of the sands, and step inside the Great Pyramid itself. In the afternoon, explore the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the treasures of Tutankhamun, the Narmer Palette, and even the mummies of Ramses II and Hatshepsut. From the St. Regis in Cairo to the wonders of Giza, this is a day that begins your journey into eternity.
