The planning of your trip in the written document

My trip to the pyramids of Giza with my family

The reason is that as every December we go on a trip but this year we decided to leave the country
and we chose the pyramids of Giza because our family likes adventure, this trip will take place in
mid-December the people with whom I will make it will be my parents, my sister and my boyfriend
I choose them because they are the people I love most and so it would be a great trip The plane
will leave from Bogota-Colombia to Cairo with a stopover in Amsterdam the flight leaves Bogota
at 4: 15pm and we will arrive in Amsterdam at 6:10 am the other day will be about 24 hours
traveling, we will arrive at the airport where we will take a cab to take us to the Hilton hotel in
Cairo where it will cost us 112 dollars per night is a nice hotel with pool, with gym is a great hotel.
We will embark on a day tour to the pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara.
We will begin the tour with a visit to the great pyramids: Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus. The
highlight of this area is near the Great Sphinx, the legendary lion-bodied guardian of the Pharaoh
Khafre's heads. We will admire the impressive statue and take a picture with it. Then we will visit
Saqqara, 27 kilometers from Cairo. The highlight of this area is the step pyramid of Zoser. Built
for the pharaoh Zoser, it is considered a very important part of the evolution process of the
pyramids. Finally, we would go to Memphis. This is not the birthplace of Elvis, of course, but the
ancient capital of Egypt. The type of transportation will be by bus provided by the tour company
and the service will be pick up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza at 08:00. The guide will meet me
in the lobby of your hotel and will be holding a sign with the name of the operator. This tour will
cost us 59 dollars per person. It is a trip where we will be approximately one week where we will
enjoy the wonders of this country the clothes will be the most comfortable and with tennis shoes,
we will go to eat their typical food in the hotel, or we will go out in the evenings to a shopping
center near the hotel and enjoy the pool of the hotel. The budget for this trip is estimated between
700 dollars.
