Overview


Discover the extraordinary achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization on a Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur Private Full-Day Tour from Cairo or Giza. This comprehensive archaeological experience takes you to four of Egypt's most important ancient sites, allowing you to see how pyramid construction and Egyptian civilization developed over thousands of years.

Your private Cairo tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Meet your professional local guide and travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle to the Giza Plateau, where you will explore the legendary pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. Learn about the pharaohs, ancient Egyptian beliefs and the remarkable engineering techniques used to construct these monumental structures. You will also see the iconic Great Sphinx, one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Egypt.

Continue to Saqqara, one of the largest and most important archaeological areas in Egypt. Here you will discover the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, traditionally regarded as one of the earliest major stone pyramid complexes in Egypt. Your guide will explain the importance of Saqqara and how its monuments demonstrate the development of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Next, visit Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Explore the Memphis open-air museum and see impressive monuments, including the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. Discover why Memphis played such an important political, religious and cultural role in ancient Egyptian history.

The final archaeological destination is Dahshur, a fascinating pyramid site away from the busier tourist areas. See the distinctive Bent Pyramid and the impressive Red Pyramid, both associated with Pharaoh Sneferu. Dahshur provides an excellent opportunity to understand the architectural experimentation that eventually led to the great pyramids of Giza.

Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch during the tour before returning to Cairo or Giza.
