DAY 3 - CAIRO (cBLD)
We drive to Giza to see the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. If you're physically fit, you may scramble deep within the Great Pyramid to the king's chamber. After lunch at a local restaurant, we tour some of Egypt's most ancient sites: the ruins of Memphis, the step pyramid of Sakkara, and the "bent" pyramid at Dahshour, again open to visitors after a half-century of seclusion

DAHSOUR
After breakfast, we'll motor to the edge of the Sahara to visit 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.

Lunch is included at a charming local restaurant .
In the evening, we host you on a Nile dinner cruise complete with exotic Egyptian entertainment.
