Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara

After breakfast, your private Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned car to begin your journey across the legendary Giza Plateau. Here you will marvel at the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the timeless Great Sphinx, which has guarded the site for more than 4,500 years. You will also visit the Valley Temple of Khafre, an impressively preserved structure that played an important role in ancient funerary rituals. After exploring the plateau, you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before continuing south of Cairo. The tour then takes you to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital and once a thriving political and religious center, where you can admire remarkable artifacts including the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. Your final stop will be Saqqara, home of the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the earliest large-scale stone pyramid in history and a groundbreaking masterpiece of ancient architecture. At the end of the day, you will be comfortably driven back to your hotel in Cairo, bringing your journey through Egypt’s most iconic landmarks to a close.
