Embark on a full-day journey through the heart of ancient Egyptian civilization with this captivating Giza Pyramids, Memphis City, and Saqqara Pyramid Day Tour. Explore over 4,500 years of history in one unforgettable experience that takes you from the most iconic pyramids to the lesser-known, but equally fascinating, archaeological wonders of Egypt.

Your day begins with a visit to the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the majestic Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and marvel at the enigmatic Sphinx, the colossal guardian of the necropolis. Learn about the construction methods, religious beliefs, and pharaonic symbolism from your expert Egyptologist guide.

Next, travel south to Saqqara, the vast necropolis that houses the Step Pyramid of Djoser—the oldest stone structure of its kind and the precursor to later pyramid designs. Saqqara offers a unique glimpse into early dynastic innovation and contains tombs with intricate wall reliefs and underground chambers.

Finally, explore the ruins of Memphis, Egypt’s first capital and once a thriving center of politics, religion, and commerce. Walk among scattered statues, including the colossal limestone figure of Ramses II, and discover how this ancient city laid the foundation for Egyptian civilization.

This tour is perfect for history lovers, archaeology enthusiasts, and curious travelers looking to see Egypt’s ancient wonders beyond just the Great Pyramid. With private transportation, a knowledgeable guide, and visits to three major sites, this tour offers an immersive and efficient day of discovery from Cairo or Giza.

Giza Saqqara e Memphis

Adel guida italiana giovane molto brava. Appassionato della storia egizia ci ha accompagnati in questo bellissimo viaggio di cultura. Siamo stati molto bene e abbiamo imparato tantissime cose che a scuola non insegnano. Oltre al tour abbiamo fatto tappa dove fanno i profumi (un po insistenti sul fatto che tu debba comprare qualcosa) e dai papiri. Autista molto bravo. Consiglio a tutti questi tour
