Full-Day Historical Tour: Saqqara, Dahshur & Giza Pyramids

Morning:

• Hotel Pickup & Departure

  • Begin your journey with a comfortable transfer from your hotel.

• Visit the Dahshur Necropolis

  • Explore the Bent Pyramid, commissioned by King Sneferu of the Third Dynasty. This pyramid represents an ambitious but ultimately flawed attempt at constructing a smooth-sided pyramid.

  • Continue to the Red Pyramid, also built by King Sneferu, marking his successful evolution in pyramid architecture. It is considered Egypt’s first true smooth-sided pyramid and a precursor to the Great Pyramids of Giza.

• Discover Saqqara

  • Visit the vast necropolis of Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the earliest large-scale cut stone construction. Designed by the architect Imhotep, this marks the first pyramid in Egypt’s history.

• Explore Memphis

  • Tour the ancient city of Memphis, once the capital of ancient Egypt. See statues, temple ruins, and tombs that reflect the city’s former grandeur as a political and religious hub.

Lunch:

• Enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian meal at a local restaurant.

Afternoon:

• Giza Plateau Tour

  • Head to the legendary Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Admire the monumental tombs of Kings Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mykerinos), which showcase the architectural mastery of the Old Kingdom.

  • Visit the enigmatic Great Sphinx, a limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a king—symbolizing power and wisdom.

Evening:
