What to expect

  1. Saqqara Pyramid
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    Arriving at the Saqqara necropolis complex, your certified Egyptologist guide will lead you to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser - the oldest stone structure in the world. You'll explore the surrounding complex, including ancient tombs and temples, as your guide explains how this revolutionary pyramid changed Egyptian architecture forever.
  2. Dahshur Bent & Red Pyramid
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Next, you'll head to the quiet and less-crowded necropolis of Dahshur, where your guide will walk you through two of Egypt’s most unique pyramids: the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. You’ll learn why the Bent Pyramid has its unusual shape and how the Red Pyramid became the first true smooth-sided pyramid - a critical step toward the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
  3. Memphis and Sakkara
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Your final stop is the ancient city of Memphis - once the capital of the Old Kingdom and the heart of ancient Egyptian power. In the open-air museum, your guide will introduce you to stunning relics, including the massive fallen statue of Ramses II and the beautifully carved Alabaster Sphinx. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of Egypt’s royal legacy and religious life.
