From Cairo/Giza: Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara Day Tour｜Egypt

Uncover the roots of Egypt’s ancient civilization with a guided day tour that takes you to the legendary Pyramids of Giza, the ancient capital of Memphis, and the step pyramid complex of Sakkara. Options also extend to Dahshur, home to Egypt’s early pyramid experiments. Focus on the Great Pyramids or explore them all for a unique look at Egypt’s heritage.

At the Pyramids of Giza, marvel at one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. See the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and hear stories of the pharaohs who built them. Conclude your visit at the Great Sphinx, the mysterious guardian of the plateau with the body of a lion and the face of a king. Your guide will share the legends and discoveries surrounding this iconic site.

Continue to Memphis, once the thriving capital of ancient Egypt. Founded around 3,100 BC, Memphis was the seat of power for many dynasties. See statues and ruins, including the colossal Ramses II and the alabaster Sphinx.

Next, explore Sakkara, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. The highlight is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid ever built, whose design influenced the later pyramids at Giza. Surrounding tombs and structures give insight into the daily life and beliefs of ancient Egyptians.

For those who want to see more, Dahshur offers two of Egypt’s most unusual pyramids: the Bent Pyramid with its angled sides, and the Red Pyramid, one of the earliest true pyramids. Dahshur reveals Egypt’s architectural evolution.
