Tour Plan
Pick-Up from Cairo Hotel
Collected from your hotel at 08:00. The drive to Saqqara takes approximately 45 minutes, passing through the lush agricultural strip alongside the Nile Valley.
Saqqara Step Pyramid & Tombs
Arrive at Saqqara necropolis to visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser (the world's first large stone monument), the beautifully painted tomb of Kagemni, the Pyramid of Unas with its Pyramid Texts, and the mysterious Serapeum — the underground burial site of the sacred Apis bulls.
Memphis Open-Air Museum
Memphis was Egypt's first capital and the most important city in the ancient world for over a thousand years. Tour the open-air museum to see the enormous fallen statue of Ramses II and the ancient alabaster Sphinx.
Dahshur Pyramid Field
Continue to Dahshur, one of Egypt's least-visited pyramid complexes, to see the Bent Pyramid (its unique shape documenting the transition from step to smooth pyramid design) and the Red Pyramid — the first truly smooth-sided pyramid, which visitors can enter through its long descending passage.
Return to Cairo Hotel
Late afternoon return to your Cairo hotel with all entrance fees included and no hidden extras.
