Cairo Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Pyramids Guided Tour - Hotel Pickup Included

Depart from your hotel
to explore Egypt's early capital and pyramids

Get picked up at your hotel in Cairo or Giza in an air-conditioned vehicle and start the tour with a licensed professional guide. Depending on your option, focus on the Giza Pyramids or combine Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur. On the standard itinerary, you spend about 1 hour at Dahshur, about 1.5 hours at Saqqara and about 1 hour at Memphis.

See the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur

At Dahshur, where pyramid construction was refined through trial and error, see the Bent Pyramid with its distinctive change in angle and the Red Pyramid, one of the oldest "true" pyramids. Your guide explains how Egypt's iconic monuments developed over time.

Discover the Step Pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis

At Saqqara, see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the prototype for later pyramids, and glimpse ancient daily life, religious beliefs and burial traditions through the surrounding tombs. In Memphis, the first capital of Egypt founded about 5,000 years ago, see the colossal statue of Ramesses II and the alabaster sphinx.

Add the Giza Pyramids and a felucca ride by option

Options that include the pyramids visit the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and you hear your guide's stories in front of the Great Sphinx. The private option covering all four sites ends the day with lunch and a felucca sail on the Nile.

On request, you can stop at a papyrus gallery, oil factory, bazaar, cotton shop and carpet school, and shopping can be skipped if you prefer.
