For an additional fee, you can wander on one of the camels for a photograph alongside the Giza Pyramids against the backdrop of the desert; this will be a marvelous photo opportunity at one of the most anciently sacred locations in the whole of Egypt.
See the rest of the Nile Valley. Priests are said to have done the embalming in the Valley Temple. Not to be missed at all is the Great Sphinx, dated to King Chephren.
By way of the drive that lasts an hour through Memphis, the open-air museum exhibits ancient artifacts from the first capital of Egypt, including an alabaster sphinx, many statuettes, and the colossal statue of Ramses II.
Lunch on a nearby farm visit is optional. You may then move on to explore the Saqqara, where lies the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first stone structure ever designed by the legendary architect Imhotep. Much larger is the Pyramid of Teti and the tomb of a noble, married into the king's daughter, showing lively scenes of some hunting and offerings to a large portrait of assorted animals or birds.
